Lecture on Lost Atlantis at Lyceum by Volney Cush
Volney B. Cushing argued that Atlantis was a real landmass off Europe and Africa, about 1000 miles wide and 4000 long, with the Avres islands as its mountains. He linked language and animal life similarities to a time when Europe and America were joined, and suggested Neptune and Olympian gods were kings of Lost Atlantis. The lecture was delivered with engaging, pleasant style.
