PAST EXPLORATIONS

Mystery Explored: Atlantis: New Revelations
Expedition Dates: September 4 - 27, 2006

Summary:

Is Atlantis, the story of the fabled continent, a myth or based in fact? One of the most enduring legends of all time, Atlantis was described as a perfect society—peaceful, artistic, and technologically advanced—but it was destroyed in a cataclysm that literally drowned the continent. Could Atlantis still be waiting to be discovered? To find out, I traveled to the Mediterranean Sea in search of Atlantis. I walked in the footsteps of Plato in Greece, and dove the blue waters of the Mediterranean to discover a mysterious sunken city. Equipped with state of the art technology, I then led an exclusive expedition off the coast of Cyprus and Syria in search of what could be the “true” Atlantis.
