he possibility that when Platospoke of Atlantis, he may have

been referring to South America will beexamined in an upcoming documen-tary—narrated by Lance Henriksen ofFox TV’s Millennium—on The LearningChannel (TLC). Currently scheduledfor Friday June 22 (consult local listingsfor time and channel), “Atlantis in theAndes” will feature the research ofBritish explorer J. M. Allen, author ofAltantis: the Andes Solution.

Allen has made a strong case thatthe Bolivian Altiplano perfectly fitsPlato’s description of the rectangularAtlantean plain and, unlike some candi-dates for the spot—the Aegean island ofThera, for instance—has the correct Pla-tonic dimensions. Allen even claims tohave discovered the remains of a gi-gantic canal which Plato said encircledthe plain. As for “sinking into theocean,” Allen says Plato was referringonly to the city of Atlantis, which hesays was built over a volcanic calderawhose location and dimensions stillmatch Plato’s description. The city,Allen says, was suddenly flooded bywater from nearby Lake Poopo andsank. Even the word “Atlantis,” he saysis from the ancient language of the areaand means copper water. According toAllen, the location, unlike any other inthe world, possesses all of the uniquecharacteristics described, includingabundant sources of orichalcum, thereddish metal Plato said the Atlanteansused extensively.

The TLC documentary will not stopwith Allen’s theories but will include a

2001, the giant media machine at Walt Disney Pictures was al-ready churning out mass material to promote its forthcominganimated feature “Atlantis the Lost Empire.” The accompa-nying video games from THQ for PCs and Game Boy werebeing readied for release, as were a host of corporate promo-tional tie-ins including Kellog Cereals, Walgreen Drug Storesand others.

By opening date on June 15, you will have probably seenthe word Atlantis just about everywhere.

In an unusually dramatic move, Disney ran a four-foldnewspaper-size full color poster for the movie as an insert inthe Easter Sunday Parade Magazine. Parade is part of theSunday supplement for most U.S. newspapers.

ilm producers appreciate lostcities. But a lost city whichmay lie beneath the ground orbeneath the waters of a lakelarge enough to be an inland

sea is of little use to them. Producersalso like ruins—ruins that can be filmed,of course, as well as interesting localcharacters.

Thus it was that I came to the lostcity or “enchanted” city (sometimescalled “petrified” city) of Pumiri on thenorthern edge of the rectangular plainknown as the Bolivian Altiplano.

I had come here with a film pro-ducer and researcher in advance of aforthcoming film about Atlantis due toair June 22 on The Learning Channel(consult your local listings) featuringmy theory that Plato’s geographical de-scription of the lost continent of At-lantis exactly fits the continent wepresently call South America.

The theory which I had put forwardin my book Atlantis: the Andes solu-tion (Windrush Press) was that it wasnot the whole continent of Atlantiswhich had disappeared in the space ofa single day and night, as Plato had re-ported, but only the city of the samename built on a volcanic island (typicalof the Altiplano) which had disap-peared beneath the waters of the largeinland sea of Lake Poopo.

I had come to this conclusion be-cause Plato said Atlantis was a conti-nent as large as Libya and Asia com-bined and that it lay “at a distant pointin the Atlantic Ocean opposite the Pil-lars of Hercules” (Strait of Gibraltar). It

was possible to identify the exact loca-tion because he describes in great de-tail a perfectly level, rectangularlyshaped plain which he said lay in thecenter of the continent next to the seaand midway along the longest side ofthe continent. The plain was highabove the level of the ocean sea, en-closed by mountains on all sides, andfurthermore the mountains containedthe metals gold, silver, copper, tin anda mysterious metal called “orichalcum”(an alloy of gold and copper), whichwere used to plate the walls of the is-land city.

Satellite mapping, only available inthe last twenty or thirty years, revealsthat the level plain known as the Alti-plano next to Lake Poopo, is of rectan-gular configuration as defined by the13,000 ft. contour running around itand all the other factors mentionedabove can also be found here.

Additionally the word ATLANTIShas its origin in America. In the Na-huatl language of the Aztecs “atl”means “water” and in Inca Quechua,“Antis” means “copper.” One of the

Quarters of the Inca empire was called“Antisuyo,” the kingdom of the Antis,these being a nation of ferocious In-dians still living on the eastern slopesof the Andes mountains in Inca times.

One feature short of finding themissing city itself, which would furtherconfirm this location as Atlantis, wouldbe any remains of a canal 1 stade (600ft) wide, which Plato said ran rightaround the perimeter of the plain anddischarged into the sea (lake). Such acanal would be perfectly possible onthe rectangular Altiplano following the12,000 ft. contour on the plain itself.And some time ago I located a possiblesection to the northwest of lake run-ning for about a distance of 9 miles.

I first visited it in 1995; it was im-mensely wide, as Plato said: “it is in-credible to believe that it should be aswide as the account states, but wemust report what we heard.” When Irevisited the site in 1998 in the com-pany of the Kota Mama expedition ledby Col. John Blashford-Snell, theiropinion was that it was a fault line andit was marked as such on the local geo-logical maps. However, a year later Ihad the opportunity to interviewCarlos Velasco Abecia, General Secre-tary of the Institute of Geology in Co-chabamba, who was familiar with thearea; and upon examining the aerialphotos of the feature he stated mostdefinitely that it was a canal and not afault line.

The section I visited had a flat baseand sloping sides: even in the height of

the dry season it carried water and thelocals watered their flocks there.

So The Atlantis Trail, a route aroundthe Altiplano which encompasses thecanal, three volcanoes, one lost city,the village of the ancient Uru/Chipaya,the salt pans, hot and cold springs, ameteorite crater, etc., begins here atthis canal in the remote desert.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle is neces-sary for the whole trip, also campingequipment, although sometimes it ispossible to stay in one of the small vil-lage huts available for the occasionaltourist, which makes a welcome breakfrom the harsh winds and biting coldwhich prevail here at certain times ofthe year.

Starting point for any expedition isthe large mining town of Oruro, itselfformer capital of the ancient Uru peo-ples and now folklore capital of Boliviafamous for its carnival of the devil.People from all over the country gatherhere for the immense procession ofmusic and dancing with outlandishdevil costumes, the devil being the pa-tron of the mines in Bolivia. The an-cient mine in Oruro, whose entrance isto be found inside the church, is alsodefinitely worth a visit, said to havebeen excavated long before the arrivalof the Spanish or even Inca times.

From Oruro the route heads south-west along the road to Chile, passingthrough Toledo and turning off some-where near Corque on the road to An-damarca. After some six or seven milesit is then necessary to turn off this road

and head east into the bush, if neces-sary, leaving the vehicle to walk a shortway on foot until one comes across thesite of the canal. A GPS is advisable forthe whole trip, and the most conven-ient map is the 1/500,000 air navigationchart available in advance from Stan-fords of Long Acre, London. The canalis clearly marked on it as a ribbon ofwater and named on the 1/50,000 Bo-livian maps as Laguna Janko Kkota.

The Trail then turns northwards toVolcan Columna, a circular ring of landin the north center of the level plain. Icame within about six miles of it on myApril 1998 expedition, and in the dis-tance it looked like a broad, flat-toppedmound. It scaled three miles in diam-eter from the aerial photos, comparableto the “mountain which was low on allsides” as Plato called it; however, it wasonly a single ring of land, whereas Platosaid that two rings of land and three ofsea originally surrounded the central is-land of the Atlantis complex. A nearbymining engineer said it was formed bythe explosion of a gas bubble and thiswas the material which fell back toearth. The center contains a small lake,and the site proves that rings of landsimilar to Plato’s description are pos-sible on the Altiplano.

A few miles north of Volcan Co-lumna and about 20 miles west of thevillage of Turco lies the mysterious cityof Pumiri, hidden amongst spectacularrock formations weathered into jaguars,

ATLANTIS IN THE ANDES

Continued from Page 43pumas, condor-like shapes, etc. Thesite covers some 20 kms of cliff-likerocks on the edge of a dried-up riverbed and conceals the ruins of perhapsthree different civilizations. Discoveredby one of the locals at Turco, its loca-tion was only revealed by the finder tohis son on his death bed and remainsone of the least explored sites in Bo-livia or the world.

From Pumiri strike westwards in thedirection of Sajama, considered thehighest volcano in Bolivia, and thissnow-stopped mountain, haven forclimbers, acts like a naviga-tional beacon for travelers allover the Altiplano since itsgleaming white cone can beeasily recognized from greatdistances. Revered locally asPacha Mama, mother earth,and spiritual home of the Uru,it is now the center of a na-tional park patrolled by war-dens and can also be ap-proached via a new highwayrunning directly from La Paz.But instead of heading rightinto Sajama country, followthe road around the edge ofthe rectangular plain towardsVolcan Quemado (the burntvolcano) and pass the night atthe village of Sacabaya, one ofthe most beautiful locations on the en-tire plain.

A whole day is needed to climb andexplore Volcan Quemado; the climb it-self could take one or two hours, andthe secret of the volcano is that its in-terior contains an “island” or cone in-side a crater which is in turn containedwithin an outer crater—an arrangementsimilar to Plato’s ringed city. Quemadois also on the active side of the Andes,and activity last took place some twoor three thousand years ago when anew cone arose and grafted itself ontothe northern face of the existing cone.Anyone living there would have had ahot time of it, and the inner site is lit-tered with huge shattered stonesejected by the volcano.

From Quemado the trail follows theedge of the Plain past Bella Vista to Sa-baya. Here I met a couple of cyclistsproposing to cross the Salar de Coipasaand asked them to keep a lookout forany signs of a vast canal on the westernedge of the plain near Llica. A letter ar-rived six weeks later in England sayingthey saw cuttings and had reports of re-mains of a canal not at Llica but a fewmiles to the east at Tres Cruces, butwhen I checked this out later on a ge-ology map, the route linking the twosalars was indeed through Llica al-

though now lifted by geological actionto a height above the level of the sur-rounding plain.

From Sabaya it is worth a detouraround the Salar de Coipasa to the vil-lage of Chipaya where the beehive hutsof the Uru/Chipaya peoples are to befound. Some say these are the oldest in-habitants of South America, and theirown legend says they are the people ofthe dawn, “the first people to emergeafter the darkness.” Formerly they livedon floating islands on Lakes Titicacaand Poopo and along the connectingRiver Desaguadero, their territorybeing known as “Umasuyo”—thekingdom of water.

From Chipaya the route heads along

the edge of the salar towards Llica,passing through the connectingchannel between Salar de Coipasa andSalar de Uyuni to Garcia Mendoza, aformer stronghold of the Urus in theshadow of the towering Volcan Thu-napa and on the edge of the glaringwhite expanse of salar.

Before visiting the next volcano atSantuario de Quillacas, the route passesan impressive meteorite crater abouttwo miles wide.

Santuario de Quillacas is a perfectlycircular, gently sloping volcanic coneexactly the diameter (2.1 miles) Platogave for the city’s rings of land, andwhen the sea floods it becomes an is-land surrounded by a ring of water.The site even contains a village on amound in the center, flanked by twovolcanic peaks, one to the north andone to the south, possibly remains of acircular central crater destroyed some-time in the past.

The site also contains red and blackstones such as Plato mentioned, andthese have even been built into a pat-tern on the piers of the church similaragain to the variegated pattern of redand black stones Plato said adorned thebuildings of Atlantis. The village is sup-plied by water from an undergroundspring.

But it is a nearby site called Pampa

The Kalayasa at Tiahuanaco

Aullagas which corresponds mostclosely to the location Plato gave forthe missing city of Atlantis, being inthe center, lengthwise of the plain yet50 stades (5 miles) from the edge ofthe sea (Lake Poopo).

This site contains red, black andwhite stone, it has the same name asthe Bolivian legend of a sunken city.Part of the site has actually been sunkby earthquakes; it has circular sandycanals and the region around the site issubject to floods being where tworivers, Laca Jahuira and Marquez, dis-charge into Lake Poopo. To preventflooding, a circular wall could be builtat the sea and continue in a circlearound the site since this is what ex-

isted at the original city. If onemakes the climb to the top ofthe peak, it is easy to see howthe city could have existed as

an ideal route center on thelevel plain and approached bya canal from the sea, which isseen a few miles away in the

distance. Thus materials couldhave been brought here by

boat from far-away Lake Titi-caca and along the Desagua-

dero River to Lake Poopo,then (after transhipment)

along the valley of the RioAquas Calientes (river of hotwaters), which becomes theheadwaters of the Pilcomayo

river, passing the famoussilver mountain at Potosi and

thence to the river Parana and theocean.

Returning by road along the easternside of the lake, hot and cold springssuch as Plato described can be seen atPoopo village, also at Pazna wherethere is even a modern swimming poolsupplied by thermal waters—just asPlato said, they even had hot baths forthe women.

Quillacas may be considered Bo-livia’s challenge to Thera, and PampaAullagas certainly dismisses the notionthat Atlantis was ever in Thera or un-derneath the Atlantic Ocean, when allthe features Plato described are foundhere on the rectangular Altiplano andnowhere else in the world. As a New-castle professor once put it on a radiointerview, “if a site is to be consideredas Atlantis, then it must at least corre-spond to the things that Plato said.”Here then is Bolivia’s challenge notonly to Thera but to the world, if youwant to see what Atlantis really waslike, then come and see for yourselves.

Best time to go is in the dry seasonfrom August to November, flights to LaPaz; allow some days for acclimatiza-tion to the altitude and take sorroccepills for altitude sickness. Jeeps avail-able for hire in La Paz and also inOruro.
