The series will last through April 17 Mr. Hall said that it is possible that Poseidonis was the Land of Mud, the destruction of which was described in the Troano Codex, an early writing by the Mayas of Yucatan. The date of this destruction, however, has not yet been reconcilei with the dates contained in the immortal writings of Plato, which would be about 9500 B.C. Both descriptions, the 10 coun- tries of the Codex and the 10 islands of Plato, lead to the belief that they were the same, the speaker said.
