Were still wet, had been ill from the sea. Two of amphorae appeared intact - after a few millennia! - Were still closed, sealed. I thought that contain olive oil or wine, which should already be much spoiled. The diver in his black clothes, rubber, raised the body and showed something even more precious: the head of a young Greek, in bronze, covered by green skating. The orbits of the eyes were not empty, the white of the eye was the mother of pearl, inlaid, and rainbow, brown, clipped from a shell, and glossy black, the pupil, was obsidian, volcanic glass. Beside the head was a piece mechanical, mashed and yet fully anyway, also covered with green skate, a wheel similar to a large clock. I remember the feeling I tried to include those objects, I felt admiration for the head and precious joy to identify the mechanical part, functional. However, also experienced a bit of irritation, because obviously I came late, missed the timing of the withdrawal of these objects of ocean bottom. Besides, I have my external regret this, because then the diver turned to me. With a significant gesture, he opened his hand and showed me a small gold bar, make no word, but to make me realize that, for him, all the rest was of little importance, without comparable value. Instead of the stamp, specifying the weight and fineness of gold bar, symbols discern it seemed weird that I know. One way or another, one small bar of gold made me remember a ceremony of launching cornerstone, when usually buried some coins and a newspaper of the day. What tremendous chance, out of range! This way, - so I thought - once the chofre, we were able to penetrate the very heart of the real city of Basel, in treasure, saved the Temple of Poseidon. I tried to fix the time and date of the event and with the movement I made to look ^ my watch, I have agreed. Were little more than 5h, and I was to get up at 5 and a half. The day before, on April 17, 1972, colleagues and I landed the vessel, the Isle of You; ship our luggage and our equipment to Fira, where dealing rooms, previously reserved in the hotel "Atlantis." The window see the Caldera, the bay of blue waters, once the main Santorim crater on the volcano whose center designed a new cone, the island Nea Kameni. Year after year, there transhipped the magma fluid and fiery, as reminiscent of times remotíssimos the volcano made the earth tremble, arguing that awful rash that, according to a theory much discussed, would have caused the disappearance of Atlantis. As for the dream which woke up, their inspirations details were not "extra-sensory" but the memory alive of impressions taken, a short time ago in Athens and previously elsewhere. The amphorae on board were related to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who met in 1953 in Munich, there when he presented his book and film "SILENCERS THE WORLD." We talked about the "aqualung", lung water he invented, which is to be brought back and to allow full freedom of movement and action during the dive, we talk about the depths of delirium, the possibility of treasure-hunters and archeology underwater. To complete the radio interview, I asked if the Cousteau could never have thought to seek traces of Atlantis. He replied, in very diplomatic way, already thought about this, but stressed that involve delicate issue that, once we leave in the center of disputes waged between scientists and technicians. However, it seems, Cousteau has not lost sight of the problem of Atlantis. Now even as I write this preface, get on my desk a note from German television, saying, "Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the underwater research of 65 years, will address the ATLANTIC project. The Aegean Sea, mainly in the region of Santorim, his team of 30 divers will search for the remains of the legendary Atlantis and explore the theories of Atlantis, raised by Jürgen Spanuth (Heligoland), admitted as a supposed "places of finding" the Azores Islands, Bimini (Florida), Lanzarote (Islas Islands) and the Atlas mountains in Morocco. " As for the other parts recovered and exposed in the boat with which I dreamed, I was able to see them, just before, at the National Museum in Athens. The couple, from embedded eyes, was recovered by divers, the cata of sponges, the wreck of a wreck, found a 60m deep, facing the Greek island of Anticitera. There was also found that gear, the "machine Anticitera" which, on the occasion of my visit, was not exposed to public visitation, but at my request, was brought to a depot for a small room, where I had occasion to see it. Until now, it was also found another piece, this is a kind of clock mechanism, the pine nuts are clearly identifiable, in the master wheel-there are 240 teeth, worked with high accuracy. It might be an instrument to record the route and speed of the ship. An entry located the source of the machine in the century that preceded the birth of Christ. This is further evidence of the fact remains imperfect as our knowledge concerning the antiquity. Until now, little or nothing was known of a civilization capable of producing mechanisms of this species. Even where this technique, really, back in time? Which had its origin and was developed, originally? As the symbols in the small bar of gold, seen in my dream, made me remember the famous disk of Festo, a disc of clay of 16 cm in diameter, displayed in the museum of Heracles, on the island of Crete in armored glass window. The symbols on the disc are not recorded a burin but stamped. The production of such stamps in anticipation of the invention of printing characters, from Gutenberg, the purpose is to edit the text, in series. This is a visual writing, not yet deciphered. So far not found another similar piece. Could have been a schedule for the crews of ships in use among the maritime nations, a sort of book of illustrations and reading for sailors, is that a reasonably plausible proposal for the solution to the puzzle. Other scholars saw that piece natural rhythmic articulation of the text of a poem in two stanzas of ten verses each, perhaps the magical-religious plot. Also, could be related to the Atlantis, as the symbol stamped what attracts attention is the head of a man, covered with a feathered hat, this is the "crown of rays." Jürgen Spanuth, the pastor of combatant Bordelum in North Frisia, located in Atlantis near Helgoland and posits the "great migration" of the peoples of the North, under macaréus catastrophic, at which have reached the borders of Egypt. Spanuth refers to frescoes of Medinet Habu, the temple of the palace of Ramses III (1200-1168 BC), in front of Luxor. Those frescoes show the pharaoh in battle with the warriors of maritime nations, bearing those same "wreaths of lightning", highly decorative. Also, the rowers, whose image appears on a knife, to the Bronze Age, found in Bremen, Federal Germany, bearing in your head the same ornament, which also appears in Scandinavian offices. Spanuth considers this fact as important evidence. So strange, the play found in Bremen shows an entire ship, mounted with the "ray", giving the impression of a fire Santelmo stylized. It was in 1969 that J.V. Luce, professor in Dublin, raised the possibility of Atlantis has been located in the Aegean. His book "ATLANTIS - Legend and Reality" was prefaced by Sir Mortimer Wheeler, one of the great names of Archeology, who wrote: "In 1909, a young scientist from Belfast outside the bright idea, saying that the country of the Atlantic, and wrapped into mysterious legends, it is reminiscent of a great kingdom, superb, from Minos, on the Island of Crete, whose splendor was then to be known for our modern world, thanks to the work of Sir Arthur Evans and other pioneers.

  • DMAAC – February 1973
    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

The principal point of this program was a detailed scientific analysis of the orbital and surface experiments data derived from Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. One of the requirements of this program was the production of detailed photo base maps at a useable scale. NASA in conjunction with the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) commenced a mapping program in early 1973 that would lead to the production of the necessary maps based on the need for certain areas. This paper is designed to present in outline form the neces- sary background informatiox or users to become familiar with the program. MAP FORMAT * The scale chosen for the project was 1:250,000 . The re- search being done required a scale that Principal Investigators (PI'S) using orbital photography could use, but would also serve PI'S doing surface photographic investigations. Each map sheet covers an area four degrees north/south by five degrees east/west.

  • Bimini - a Romantic Long Weekend in the Bahamas 4 Day Itinerary
    Bimini - A romantic long weekend in the Bahamas 4 day Itinerary Sudami cruising in Bimini If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, spending a long weekend on a yacht in the Bahamas is just the ticket, with its stunning beaches and crystal clear waters. The Bahamas are perhaps the best kept secret when it comes to yacht charter vacations. From breathtaking white sand beaches to crystal clear waters, to shipwreck snorkeling and dive sites and some of the best fishing in the world, the islands of the Bahamas are simply awe inspiring. Located to the southwest of Grand Bahamas Island is the Bimini chain of islands, best known as being the Bahamas’ best fishing and diving grounds. Because the islands are situated at the edge of a sheerwater cliff on the edge of the Gulf Stream, their coral reefs are teaming with undersea life and the Stream itself serves to bring a variety of monster game fish, wild Atlantic spotted dolphins and sea turtles to its waters. Aerial of Bimini showing deep water on one side, where game fishing is popular It was these islands that also inspired Ernest Hemingway in the 1930s, where he spent much time chasing big game fish and throwing back more than a few rums with the locals. Fountain of youth: Bimini’s mystic Healing Hole in the mangroves Strata Smith Day 1 Make an early crossing from Florida to Bimini, or fly in and meet your yacht. Explore Alice Town, North Bimini on foot or golf cart, sample fresh conch salad, or perhaps head over to South Bimini to visit the Shark Lab, an outpost owned and operated by Dr Samuel H Gruber that researches Bimini’s Lemon sharks.

    Sample Itinerary: Bimini Islands Bahamas – One Week The Bimini Island Chain in the Bahamas: Across the Gulf Steam from Florida’s east coast lies the Bimini Island Chain. These sub tropical low-lying islands are a fantastic destination for a weeklong sail. Bimini offers some of the finest SCUBA diving, snorkeling, fishing and beachcombing anywhere. These “islands in the stream” offer water clarity, which is nothing less than spectacular. You may rent snorkel gear at our office in Ft. Lauderdale if you have not brought your own. For those who are certified divers we recommend renting your SCUBA gear from Underseas Sports in Ft. Lauderdale before you head across the Gulf Stream. The Bimini Chain is lightly populated with the center of village life located on North Bimini, in Alice Town. There are many small restaurants, shops, and bars, as well as the Hemingway Museum at the Complete Angler. Marinas are abundant if you decide not to anchor out. The beaches on North Bimini offer miles of un-crowded fine white sand and snorkeling from the waters edge. Golf Carts and Mopeds are available for rent so you can explore the island. One of the most interesting dive and snorkel sites off of North Bimini is “Bimini Road”, which some say is the ruin of the lost city of Atlantis. South Bimini is primarily residential with only two marinas. The new Bimini Sands Marina is located at the entrance to the harbor and has a Customs and Immigration office so you can clear in there without having to take a taxi and ferry over to North Bimini.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2007 Acknowledgements While there are many people deserving of recognition for their assistance and support during the process of completing this research, I can mention here only a few. First, without a doubt, I would like to thank Irene for her love and support over the years, and without whom this process might never have started, and certainly would not have ended. I thank my mother, Marilyn Chumley, for her love and support as well, especially after the death of my father, Don Chumley; I trust that he would be proud of this accomplishment. My advisor, Dr. Robert K. Jansen and my cohort of labmates deserve mention for providing a fun and challenging environment. Jan Barber, Romey Haberle, Barbara Goodson, and Micheal J. Moore all provided excellent advice, discussion or feedback in the lab or field. Everyone who went into the field with me needs a special award, particularly if the Land Cruiser decided to break down on that particular trip; Geoff Denny gets kudos for the Monterrey experience, when we, like an old submarine, ran only on batteries, and Mike gets some kudos for the Deerslayer episode, and the many, many beers and many, many miles, usually not at the same time of course.
