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 orwine, 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 youngGreek, in bronze, covered by green skating. The orbits of the eyes were not empty, thewhite of the eye was the mother of pearl, inlaid, and rainbow, brown, clipped from ashell, and glossy black, the pupil, was obsidian, volcanic glass. Beside the head was apiece mechanical, mashed and yet fully anyway, also covered with green skate, a wheelsimilar to a large clock. I remember the feeling I tried to include those objects, I feltadmiration 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 thetiming of the withdrawal of these objects of ocean bottom. Besides, I have my externalregret this, because then the diver turned to me. With a significant gesture, he openedhis 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 thestamp, specifying the weight and fineness of gold bar, symbols discern it seemed weirdthat I know. One way or another, one small bar of gold made me remember aceremony of launching cornerstone, when usually buried some coins and a newspaperof the day. What tremendous chance, out of range! This way, - so I thought - once thechofre, 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 themovement I made to look ^ my watch, I have agreed. Were little more than 5h, and Iwas to get up at 5 and a half. The day before, on April 17, 1972, colleagues and Ilanded the vessel, the Isle of You; ship our luggage and our equipment to Fira, wheredealing rooms, previously reserved in the hotel "Atlantis." The window see theCaldera, the bay of blue waters, once the main Santorim crater on the volcano whosecenter designed a new cone, the island Nea Kameni. Year after year, there transhippedthe magma fluid and fiery, as reminiscent of times remotíssimos the volcano made theearth 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" butthe memory alive of impressions taken, a short time ago in Athens and previouslyelsewhere. The amphorae on board were related to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who metin 1953 in Munich, there when he presented his book and film "SILENCERS THEWORLD." We talked about the "aqualung", lung water he invented, which is to bebrought back and to allow full freedom of movement and action during the dive, wetalk about the depths of delirium, the possibility of treasure-hunters and archeology
