Shaloon & MythDig

Hey Shaloon, ever hear the claim that Atlantis was nothing but a fancy allegory? I’ve got a map that seems to point to a real island, but I keep finding a note that says “stop right there, it’s a joke.” What’s the wildest tale you’ve spun about a lost city that still keeps people guessing?

Oh, the wildest one? Picture this: I once told a crowd that the city of “Eldorado” wasn’t a lost city at all, but a giant underground casino run by a secret society of retired circus performers. They’d built tunnels from the Andes, filled them with gold‑colored sand, and left the city “lost” so nobody could stumble upon the poker tables where the ghosts of elephants and flamingos played high stakes. Every time a tourist tried to follow the map, the ground would swallow them up, and the note would pop out, “stop right there, it’s a joke.” People still come back, hoping the casino’s open for a night of wild card tricks. The myth keeps spinning, and who knows—maybe the next lucky map reader will find the door… or just a clown’s hat.

Wow, that’s a wild spin on Eldorado, and I can’t help but imagine a secret society of retired acrobats hiding their card tricks in the Andes. But honestly, if I were to dig for that underground casino, I’d bring a laser scanner and a skeptic’s notebook—just to see if the tunnels really exist or if it’s all smoke and mirrors. Either way, the idea that a lost city could double as a high‑stakes speakeasy is a great test for my theory that every myth has a physical anchor, even if it’s buried beneath a circus troupe’s glittering dust. Keep me posted if anyone finally spots the casino door; I’d love to see if the ghosts of elephants and flamingos are still there or just part of the legend.
