Referring to such sources as ancient Hindu texts and the writings of Plato and his contemporaries, Prof. Santos was able to "reverse engineer" the location of Atlantis -- a submerged subcontinent in Southeast Asia, where the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean all come together, Hoff asserts, adding that Indonesia is part of this land mass still visible today (as pictured on the cover of Santos' book).
