What can you say? They  are so romantic, the old myths, one becomes lost in them. A Magician in a castle ... Any theories as to the truth of the matter, CV?

Perhaps the explorers reached the Americas and visited an abandoned city like Machu Pichu. The last inhabitant, an Incan priest, lived in one of the pyramids and continued performing rituals long after the rest of his tribe had died from disease

Nope General...other then what is presented in the reference links. It's highly probable that this was a nearer in shoal or barrier island that was simply misunderstand and then was destroyed by nature.
And or it is simply a case of mis-identification with another.
 
But as ya know I love the wee folks and the storiesLOL
 
And Nick's offering is as good as any.Wink
