In a "climactic" scene from the 1998 release Tarzan & the Lost City, Rapulane Seiphemo (as Prince Kaya), Jane March (as Jane Porter), and Caspar Van Dien (as Tarzan) gaze upon the lost city of Opar, pondering how to go about saving the legendary "cradle of civilization" from greedy Europeans.

5. Prehistoric Artifact Found at Tarzana
News from Tarzana in the Times Community NewspapersPossible prehistoric artifact found
Archeological find may halt construction of housing tract at Burroughs' former estate.By KAREN S. KIM
An archeologist has unearthed a possible prehistoric artifact on a 16-acre housing tract within the former estate of "Tarzan" author Edgar Rice Burroughs.
If corroborated, the finding could halt construction of the 31-home development while a survey is conducted. Such a finding could subject the developer to provisions, including hiring a certified archeologist to conduct a topical survey and a historical study of the tract documenting its origin and use.
Controversy over the felling of 250 rare and mature trees on the storied site in November prompted residents to form The Friends of Tarzana. Interest in the history of the area also prompted local architect Barry Schweiger to ask independent archeologist Albert Knight to look it over.
Knight recommends a thorough scientific study be conducted based on his opinion that the site is archeologically significant. "It's an excellent place for a site," Knight said in an interview. "I have no doubt that there are some more artifacts there." However, artifacts left in the tract might have been damaged based on the years of development and use the land has undergone, he said.
Knight said that after studying historical maps, he chose a specific spot on the property to investigate, where he found a dark colored object partially exposed in the mud. After Knight identified the object as an artifact, Schweiger took the object from the site to get a second opinion from archeologist Chester King. King says he has been working in the Santa Monica Mountains since 1960 and now works for the National Park Service.
According to King, the object is andesite, a type of volcanic rock. The way that it was shaped, with sharp edges on one side, convinced him that it was "definitely a prehistoric artifact," most likely a tool. The calcium deposits on the side of the object allowed King to estimate the rock at 2,000 to 3,000 years old. King speculates that the location of the site, with its proximity to El Caballero Creek and the view of the mountains, might be an area where American Indians lived.
Robert Davis, developer of the 31-home construction site, said he is puzzled by the finding and the chain of events behind it. Davis said there is a strict procedure governing the discovery of artifacts that apparently was not followed. "The last thing someone of any expertise would do is to remove it," he said.
Knight says he did not remove the object himself. However, because the ground had been disturbed by construction, the rock had probably already been dislocated from its origin.
The Friends of Tarzana has asked Councilwoman Cindy Miscikowski to investigate. "We're not trying to halt the whole development," said Susanne Belcher of The Friends of Tarzana. "This site needs to be protected until they can see if there's something of significance."
Lisa Levy, valley deputy for Miscikowski, has asked Schweiger to substantiate the find and has contacted the city Planning Department and the developer.
Until the Planning Department makes a determination about the possible artifact, Davis is free to proceed with construction. However, Levy has warned him to be cautious and aware of the possible historical significance of the tract. "We're taking it seriously and making sure that the proper city agencies are aware of this," Levy said.

The Book Not Taken
by
Tarak FrostTwo books were there on a shelf of wood,
And sorry I could not read them both,
And be one reader, long I stood,
Then picked up one which looked pretty good,
With a man and a lion and jungle growth,Then I left the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was sci-fi, with great hardware,
Though as I recall, the covers there
Were both pretty neat, all the same,And both that morning equally lay,
With all the mystique of a new paperback,
Oh, I kept the one for another day,
Yet knowing I'd might be reading all day,
I wondered when I would ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence,
Two books were there on a shelf of wood,
But the ERB was the one I'd try,
And that has made all the difference.
Pan-at-lee
Another version of "Annabel lee"
By
Edgar-Omat-PoeIt was many and many a year ago,
In Pal-ul-don, far from the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know,
By the name of Pan-at-lee,
And this maiden she lived with no other thought,
Than to love and be loved by me.I was a child and she was a child,
In Pal-ul-don, far from the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love----,
I and my Pan-at-lee----
With a love that the wizened Waz-don gund,
Coveted her and me.And this was the reason that, long ago,
In Pal-ul-don, far from the sea,
The Tor-o-don came from a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Pan-at-lee,
But then that Tarzan-jad-guru came,
And saved my Pan-at-lee
To take her away from Kor-ul-gryf,
In Pal-ul-don, far from the sea.The Ho-don, never pleased in A-lur,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In Pal-ul-don, far from the sea)
That their warriors came out of A-lur, by night,
Chilling and killing my Pan-at-lee— .But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of gunds far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the Tor-o-dons we see,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Pan-at-lee —For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Pan-at-lee,
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Pan-at-lee,
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side,
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In the Kor-ul-ja, there she will be,
In her tomb far from sounding sea.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - A dozen elephants marched through Bangkok's car-choked streets Monday in a protest by their handlers against the city's plans to ban begging elephants. The ban orders the handlers, or mahouts, to leave the capital with their elephants before Friday or face arrest. City authorities say bringing elephants to Bangkok is dangerous for man and beast. A few weeks ago, an elephant broke loose from its handler and charged down one of Bangkok's busiest streets before a veterinarian with a tranquilizer gun brought it down. Other elephants have been struck by cars or have tripped into open manholes.
