Atlantis: The Legend Of Quinlin Beets
My name is Quinlin Beets, and I come to you from John Hopkins University where I study marine archaeology. The legend of Atlantis has been one of the oldest and most spellbinding of all the world's mysteries. It has puzzled civilizations for many years.

Civilization first heard about Atlantis in 330 B.C by Plato. Plato was a Greek philosopher. He wrote stories about Atlantis called “Timaeus” and “Critias”. He lived from about 428 B.C to 348 B.C. For two millennia no one thought about Atlantis.

Some people believe that the stories are fictional, made up to serve the purposes of Plato’s politics. But others take them as if they were serious, historical accounts. Atlantis is thought to be a lost island. There have been dozens of proposed locations. It is often thought to be a utopian society that holds the key to the wisdom that could bring world peace.

We no longer have to wonder whether or even where Atlantis existed - I have proven the existence of Atlantis!!

I quickly assembled a team of divers and headed down there and started my own investigation. At 1,000 feet below the surface, we came upon the shipwreck. It was a wooden vessel that was extremely damaged. But, when we moved the hull, we discovered the artifacts that have lead us to proof of “The Long Lost City Of Atlantis”. The artifacts we found were made from a metal that is believed to be orichalcum. Orichalcum is a undiscovered metal said to only exist in Atlantis. It was thought to have covered the temple of Poseidon. It was a red, highly prized metal that was widely used in Atlantis, as described by Plato in the “Critias”

    The material is presented in three parts. The first section introduces students to archaeology and pseudoarchaeology (literally “fake archaeology”), along with the basic concepts of science and anthropology that are necessary for a full understanding of both of these pursuits. In the second part, we apply the lessons of the first section to a series of pseudoarchaeological claims, ranging from the Cardiff Giant and Piltdown hoax to Atlantis and the Crystal Skull. We ask why do people make such claims, and why does the public embrace them? The third part surveys the real marvels of the ancient past, from Easter Island and Machu Picchu to Stonehenge and the Great Zimbabwe. We…

    Charred wood from this feature was radiocarbon dated to sometime between 2010 B.C. and 1850 B.C. (more on this below). It had also been suggested that there may be a house foundation somewhere on the site which would more than likely date to the historic past (Wiegand, personal communication, 2002), and about 75 artifacts from the late 18th and 19th centuries, such as nails, redware, saltglazed stoneware, whiteware, and glass, most of which were found in the top 20 cm of soil, may support the idea that there was definitely such a structure on the site.
