English adveturers in the last century made a vocation of entering the desert to try and scout out the location of this 'Atlantis of the sands', including Bertram Thomas[?] and later his friend, the infamous T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia). The discovery sadly eluded them both, and later fell to an American Archeologist, Wendell Phillips[?]. He searched along camel caravan routes in the Rub al Kahli desert, but as well met with failure.
In recent years, it is believed to have been identified by satellite.
