Album Notes

FOR A LIMITED TIME WE ARE OFFERING THIS CD AT A SPECIAL REDUCED PRICE! (normally $12.99, now $7.99) TAKE ADVANTAGE! LOST CAVERNS OF THERA (Thera is the Greek word for fear) The volcanic island of Thera or Thira, also known as Santorini, is located in the Aegean Sea between Greece and Asia Minor. The discovery of these caverns is so new that no one has been able to complete the mapping. They were found strictly by accident. Many riches were found, not as in gold and jewels, but great artifacts like animal bones of unknown origins, ancient art and maybe the gateway to Atlantis! The mouth of the caverns is very small, just big enough for a small to medium size person to squeeze through. This might be why it took so long for them to be rediscovered. Once inside the mouth it opens up into a large room with four passages leading in different directions. There is a constant sound of water droplets, and beautiful colored stalactites and stalagmites line the ceiling, walls, and floor. As you travel deeper into the caverns there is no light. Our human eyes need some source of light (even a very small amount) to make them work. In here, without light you can't see your hand right in front of your face! Cavern II has beautiful art and cave drawings that show most of the other caverns, and there are dates back to 900 B.C.! The most intriguing drawing shows that Cavern III has an underwater passage to the lost city of Atlantis, which was believed to have been swallowed up by the sea during a enormous volcanic earthquake in 1500 B.C. "Death From Above" is carved into the passage or hall between Cavern II and III. Stalactites frequently fall from the ceiling and walls. The earth seems to be very unstable there, would be and understatement! The bones found in Cavern IV are creatures of unknown origins. More testing, studying, and excavating is being done to find answers to these mysteries. Cavern V completes a huge circle that ends up back at the mouth of the Cave.
