Tarpon Springs
Saxer John C.
John C. Saxer Jr. (1950- ) a.k.a. Prince Johannes Christian von Sax is
a bartender, bicycle mechanic and amateur archaeologist. In recent years he has insisted that Florida’s Tarpon Springs was the location of the Garden of Eden and that the port of Atlantis had been situated along Tampa Bay. He claims to have discovered large stone anchors which he believes were used in his Atlantis. After attempting to interest mainstream archaeologists in his discovery he finally got the attention of William Donato, best known for his research at Bimini. Donato was impressed by the size of the ‘anchors’ which he stated were similar to anchors found at Bimini and elsewhere. However, Donato does not subscribe to Saxer’s Eden or Atlantis theories(a).
Saxer gets rather upset when he does not get the publicity he wants (See: Archive 3924) and is now promoting his royal Swiss lineage (See: Archive 3924)!!!
