ATLANTIS
Atlantis was never found because we have all been looking in the
wrong places. Realizing that, we started to look for the spot where an
entire sunken continent could be hiding itself. Geology afforded the
correct, irrefutable answer: down under the South China Sea, that is

serendipitously than we ourselves could ever have imagined
beforehand.
