Copyright by the artist.Aztlan, the Isle of Atlantis
The Aztecs relate that they originated on an island named
Aztlan. Atlantis buffs long ago have conjectured that this
island was Atlantis.
Many Altantean theorists believe that Altantis is not so
much a lost continent as an era of earth's history. Those
who follow Plato's account of Atlantis posit that Atlantis
proper disappeared about 10,000 years ago, about the
time that the Indian rock art that inspired this painting was
engraved.
This painting is another in a series of my Modoc Rock Art
petroglyph studies.
