Long-Lost Island Documented On Ancient Maps – Erased From History Or Misidentified?
Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – Most people are familiar with the stories of Atlantis and Lemuria, but there are other lost islands and even entire continents that were thoroughly documented by ancient authors.

Yet, the island has never been found by modern explorers. Did it suffer a major catastrophe and sank beneath the waves or is there another explanation? Was the island erased from history for some reason?
