Atlantis II
In our Summer, 2002 issue of Mysterious World, we will revisit America's lonely mountain, Mount Shasta. More than just a tourist destination, Mt. Shasta has an ancient past probably more exotic than any other mountain in the world. Believed by some to be the gateway to a vast underground world, Shasta has variously been the home to every imaginable type of creature, from secretive, bell-ringing dwarves to a race of giant, ethereal humanoids that come and go at will. Shasta and its environs are also believed to be a home for Bigfoot, flying saucers, elves, fairies and just about every paranormal creature imaginable. The rich history and lore of the area is enough for a lifetime of research, but we will try to cover the highlights in Part II of Shasta Secrets. Our second offering this quarter is Part II in our four-part series investigating the mysterious, worldwide phenomenon of sea serpents. In Part I, we investigated man's historical fascination with sea serpents, and focused on the most famous of the so-called "lake monsters", Nessie of Loch Ness. In Part II, we will investigate one of America's (and Canada's) most famous lake monsters, "Champ" of Lake Champlain, New York. Champ, like Nessie, has a long history, dating back some 400 years to the French explorer Samuel De Champlain, who first discovered the lake. The legend goes back even further if you count the even older Native American legends of a creature lurking in Champlain's deep, muddy waters. Lake Champlain's length, width and depth even approximate that of Loch Ness in Scotland, and both were created some 10,000 years ago, deepening the mystery even further. So, please settle in and enjoy our second installment of Mysterious Sea Serpents. Finally, we reach Part II in our series of stories on the Legend of Atlantis. In Part II of our four-part series, we will look at Plato's description of the land of Atlantis itself — how the people of Atlantis ate, drank, worked, worshiped, loved, and lived — before the island was destroyed. From this information, we will try to gain insight on why its destruction took place. Was it purely a result of natural causes, or were more sinister forces at work on the island that inevitably led to its destruction? We will do an in-depth analysis of Plato's writings on the subject, including both what he did — and did not — mention in his Dialogues. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions as to what sorts of information you need to make your travel plans complete, please e-mail me at publisher@mysteriousworld.com.
