The 20,000 year-old relic is inscribed with what appears to be the long lost language of Atlantis.

Only one man is able to decode its meaning: the world's foremost linguist, Dr Thomas Lourdes. But can he stay alive long enough?

Meanwhile, an earthquake shocks Spain, uncovering a most unexpected site - one which the Vatican rushes to be the first to explore.

Could it be that the lost city of Atlantis is ready to be found?

And if so, is the world ready for her secrets?
