Nan Madol Medallion

A reader recently sent a representative illustration of a medallion that was discovered while exploring off of the ruins of Nan Madol in Pohnpei. “After much research, he found out that it bears much similarity to a symbol associated with Mu” and asked what I thought.

I have searched through all my great-grandfather’s materials on symbols and have been unable to find a comparable symbol.
If any readers have seen and/or recognize the significance of the symbol, please send me an email and I’ll pass along the information.

Have a great day.

Still Another Sunken City

In the article, “Secret Streets Of Britain’s Atlantis Revealed,” the author reports on the recent efforts using underwater sensing equipment to reveal the ancient town of Dunwich, what once was a thriving port during the Middle Ages.

Known as Britain’s Atlantis, the town was almost the size of London and now lies three to ten meters below the surface of the sea.

Yet another sunken city reveals its secrets.

Have a great day.

Another Lost Sunken City Found

In an article entitled, “Lost city of Heracleion gives up its secrets,” the details of another ancient sunken city have been reported. Uncovered off the coast of Egypt and initially rediscovered in 2000, the city of Heracleion has slowly been revealing it’s treasures from 150 feet beneath the Bay of Aboukir. Also known as Thonis to the Greeks, the artifacts recovered from the site have amazed archaeologists.

The city disappeared some 1200 years ago and was known in the present era only from a few ancient texts and some inscriptions. It was originally built in the eighth century BCE. The site is now 6.5 kilometers off the coast and occupies an area of 11 by 15 kilometers.

This is another example of sunken features that have arisen from obscurity and/or legend to change our understanding of history. Here are some other examples:
