Atlantis and the Silver City (60 page)

A section of a stone engraved with the “southwestern script” in Silves Museum.

The egg in the Lagos museum.

Close-up of the symbol sculpted on the outside of the egg.

A mock-up using a mirror image of the top half of the egg placed underneath to show how it would have been a perfect egg shape. The outside is discolored due to its being buried in the local red earth for thousands of years, but the white of the limestone is evident from where it has been scratched.

One of the many natural round pyramids in the vicinity of Silves. This one overlooks the ancient harbor site.

Another round pyramid hill immediately behind Silves.

A view looking over Silves from the southwest. Note the pyramid-shaped hill, which is circled.
