Edgar Cayce, a clairvoyant, in 1940 predicted that the lost continent of Atlantis would start to rise again in the vicinity of The Bahamas in 1968 or 1969. Since then, 37 years have passed and many major events have happened, such as The Great Britain granted The Bahamas internal self-rule in 1964, Huber Ingraham became prime minister in 1992, and Perry Gladstone Christie elected prime minister in the 2002 general election. However, the lost continent of Atlantis has yet to be found. The Bahamas is an English-speaking nation. There are of two thousand cays and seven hundred islands forming an archipelago.
Bimini, which consists of a tiny grouping of islands, was situated some 50 miles off the coast of Florida (USA). According to the Caribbean Indians, this group of islands gush magical waters called the “fountain of eternal youth”. It was told that someone drank the water from this fountain and was cured of all his illnesses as well as able to retain his youth. Juan Ponce de Léon, a Spanish explorer, was intrigued by this legend and thus, he set out to find Bimini in 1512. He set sail from Puerto Rico and landed on Florida after missing Bimini.
