Spanish Authorities in 1973 Welcomed Maxine Asher’s Team to Scuba Search for City of Atlas Until Evidence Reported

Maxine Asher was much in the news in 1973 with her expedition to discover the concentric-canal-ringed City of Posidon (or City of Atlas) in the Gulf of Cadiz (named for Posidon’s son Gades), the expedition which had been welcomed and permitted by the government of Spain until the team of divers reported downed columns, ancient roads, and other relicts in about a hundred feet depth of water somewhere south of Cadiz, then the Spanish government ran them out of the country for no apparent reason other than that the government had figured it was a fool’s errand but good for Spain’s tourism until a Bronze Age city about 100 feet deep in the ocean would be discovered, in conformity with biblical history.
