2. Atlantida is the traditional name of an ancient city in the Amazon River valley believed to have been founded by Phoenician explorers more than 4,000 years ago. The finds were made by Dr. Luis Bueno Horta Barbosa who was travelling with General Candido Rondon in late 1929. They discovered inscriptions carved on rocks rendered in hieroglyphics. Aside from rock formations the explorers recovered pottery inscribed with hieroglyphics along the Cumina River, in the state of Pará, Brazil.
