He s hunted for Atlantis and tunnels from the Holocaust. Now, he ll be a CNU professor. By Matt Jones, Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)
Mired in mud in southern Spain are six stone anchors that possibly date to the Bronze Age.
According to Richard Freund, who led a team to explore the site for a National Geographic documentary, they could be from the lost city of Atlantis described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
Maybe. If we take the testimony of Plato seriously - not literally, but seriously - what we can say this is the closest thing to the reality of most of the elements that he mentions there, Freund said. Somebody may come up with a better one.

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- Wednesday marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and a group of UW-Eau Claire students and staff are remembering those lost, through research that helped uncover a victim s story.
A documentary was recently completed in partnership with other universities showcasing several students and staff who traveled to Lithuania in 2017 in search of the grave of Matilda Olkin, a Jewish Lithuanian poet who died during the Holocaust. One professor who led the trip says it was important to take students to the site not only to immerse them in the culture and research but help others remember lost victims and prevent further tragedy.
