The myths still exist; are they just the jewel-like scattered remnants of a forgotten continent, or simply the original ‘Garden of Eden’, and what arcane mysteries are locked inside of those 650 million year old rocks. Whatever, one thing is certain, you will never find such a unique paradise anywhere else on Earth.
