An ancient artifact is discovered in a dusty antiquities shop in Alexandria, Egypt — the long forgotten trinket soon becomes the center of the most deadly archaeological hunt in history. The 20,000 year-old relic is inscribed with what appears to be the long lost language of Atlantis. Only one man would seem to be able to decode its meaning — the world's foremost linguist, Dr. Thomas Lourdes — but only if he can stay alive long enough! Meanwhile, an earthquake in Cadiz, Spain, uncovers a most unexpected site — one which the Vatican rush to be the first to explore! Perhaps the lost city of Atlantis is finally ready to be found? But is the world ready for her secrets?
