In 1934 , G. Warren Shufelt told the Los Angeles Times he had detect the remnants of an ancient reptilian civilisation under L.A. Even though Shufelt ’s story was a load of bullpucky , he left this not bad map as his bequest .
On January 29 , 1934 , Jean Bosquet of the L.A. Times reported that Shufelt , a geological engineer , had discovered a secret lizard metropolis far underground using aboriginal American traditional knowledge and “ radio X - ray . ” Shufelt ’s city turned out to be rather uncreatively lounge lizard - shaped .
From the L.A. Times :
According to the legend as imparted to Shufelt by Macklin , the radio receiver X - ray has bring out the location of one of three lost city on the Pacific Coast , the local one having been dug by the Lizzard People after the “ great catastrophe ” which occurred about 5000 years ago . This fabled catastrophe was in the class of a huge clapper of fire which “ came out of the Southwest , ruin all life story in its itinerary , ” the path being “ several hundred mile wide . ” The metropolis subway was dug as a means of escaping future fires .
The lost city , get the picture with powerful chemical by the Lizard People instead of pick and spadeful , was debilitate into the sea , where its tunnel set out , fit in to the legend . The tide passing daily in and out of the lower tunnel portals and forcing air into the upper tunnel , ply ventilation system and “ clean and sanitized the lower tunnels , ” the fable submit .
bombastic room in the domes of the hills above the metropolis of labyrinth housed 1000 sept “ in the personal manner of magniloquent building ” and abiding food supplies of the herbaceous plant variety were stored in the catacombs to provide sustainment for the lizard kinsfolk for great length of fourth dimension as the next fervidness broom over the earth .
Shufelt ’s narration is a predecessor to the reptilian urban legends that presently range rearing on the net and , presumably , the playscript to the Super Mario Bros. moving picture .
