platform at Tula, Mexico. Tula is thought to be the archaeological
site identified with Quetzalcoatl and the Toltec civilization
of ancient Mexico linked through legend with the mythical lost
land of Aztlan or Tlapallan in the Eastern (Atlantic) Ocean.
Of special interest are Atlantean columns which
supported a now vanished roof reminiscent of construction techniques
of the ancient Mediterranean. (Photo courtesy of Mexican
