Atlantis of the Baltic

"Once upon a time, on the Baltic coast of what is now Germany, there arose a city called Vineta. The largest in Europe, it was said to be richer than Constantinople. Travelers and merchants came from all over the old world to live and trade there--Jews from Cordoba, Slavs from Rus, Vikings from Scandinavia. Together with local Wends, Slavonic Pomeranians, and Saxons, they lived in multicultural harmony. But sometime during the twelfth century A.D., Vineta mysteriously sank into the Baltic...For nearly two centuries, historians and archaeologists have argued over its whereabouts. Now [in 2003] a Berlin scientist claims to have located the site." (Archaeology) Archaeologist Klaus Goldmann and economist and journalist Gunter Wermusch's theory of the lost city of Vineta's location is explored.
