About this audio guide
This guide to Atlantis Water Adventures in Ancol, Jakarta starts on a June day in nineteen seventy-four, when the city's governor opened a plain public swimming arena on a stretch of coast with a bad reputation. It follows the ground beneath the pools back to its swamp years, and asks why a tropical capital would dress its family water park in the myth of a sunken Mediterranean city. Best heard poolside, within earshot of the slides.
