Sample text

All over the world explorers and scientists are finding sunken cities. Some are so old that books about our ancient history may have to be rewritten! Who knows? Perhaps today’s expert explorers will even find Atlantis! 36 COLMA—CITY OF THE DEAD Colma, California—just south of San Francisco—is the only city in the world where the dead outnumber the living. In the year 2000, there were 1,191 people living in Colma. But more than a million people are buried there. Colma is tiny. 25 square miles in size.

India’s sunken city is about five miles long and approximately two miles wide. It was discovered in 2002. PERU’S UNDERWATER TEMPLE In 2000, the ruins of an ancient temple were found in Peru. It is located at the bottom of Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest lake. Divers there also found a terrace once used for farming, a long road, and a wall about 2,600 feet long. 35 Scientists believe the ruins are 1,000 to 1,500 years old. For generations, local people have told fascinating stories about what might lay at the bottom of the lake.

The doctors in Papua New Guinea decided to try an experiment. They injected brain tissue from people who had died of kuru into chimpanzees. It took several years, but eventually the chimps all came down with kuru. The doctors were stunned.

Two anthropologists came up with the answer. In 1915, the Fore had visited another tribe—the Kamano—in the north.
