A WESTCOUNTRY explorer, who claims to have pinpointed the site of the
legendary lost city of Atlantis, believes its descendants might have
built Noah's Ark.
Former RAF map expert Jim Allen has created a scale model from a
500ft fossilised impression of what is thought to have been the
Biblical ship which was discovered near Mount Ararat in Turkey about
20 years ago.
He says it matches reed crafts used by the Mesopotamian race of
Sumerians who, he claims, could have been descended from Atlantians
after they had sailed across the Atlantic from South America. The
dimensions also fit those mentioned in the Bible.
According to Greek philosopher Plato, the fabled island city vanished
beneath the waves after being devastated by floods and earthquakes
nearly 10,000 years before the birth of Christ.
Over the centuries suggested locations for this legendary city have
included the Scilly Isles, Sweden, the Straits of Gibraltar, Portugal
and a spot just north of Crete. However, according to Mr Allen, 49,
from Torquay, these are way off target. He reckons Atlantis lies
buried beneath salt flats bordering Lake Poopo in the shadow of the
Andes in Bolivia.
He developed the theory 16 years ago after studying aerial pictures
of the world's contours to try to match them with Plato's description
of the plain on which Atlantis stood. His put his claims in a book,
Atlantis: The Andes Solution.
Earlier this year, an expedition organised by the British chapter of
the Explorers' Club of New York and the Scientific Exploration
Society set out to prove the theory that ancient South Americans
sailed across the Atlantic to trade with Egypt.
The explorers, using three traditional reed boats built on the shores
of Lake Titicaca, travelled along the Desaguadero River to Lake
Poopo.
They now plan to continue the expedition to Buenos Aires and then
across the Atlantic to Cape Town.
Mr Allen, who is carrying out research for the Kota Mama expedition,
said the impression of the Mount Ararat Ark suggested the ancient
ship was built of two cylinders of reeds joined at either end, with a
gap or "hull pool" in the centre.
"The length of the Ark impression is consistent with the length of
ancient Sumerian reed ships which had standard lengths as large as
495ft which was 300 Sumerian cubits," he said. "This was also the
length of the Bible Ark which also measured 300 cubits."
