Sorry to interrupt, but I thought I`d mention the following story.
Some people believe that the Azores are all that remains of Atlantis. Whether or not this is true is obviously debatable.
Apparently when the Spaniards landed there in the 15th century they found a pacifist, culturally advanced people. The Spaniards butchered all the inhabitants, and tried to destroy all evidence of their existence. Very few references to this event have survived.
My cousin is a Catholic priest who, until recently, worked in the Vatican library. He helped me on several occasions during the course of my degree (Medieval History) and I asked him if he could find any information about this story. He confirmed that there were several documents relating to the incident held in Rome, but that they were subject to an interdict preventing access to them.
This story has always fascinated me, but I doubt that I shall ever know any more about it.
