It was about an island paradise near the Indies where beautiful Queen Califia ruled
over a country of beautiful black Amazons with lots of pearls and gold.
Men were only allowed there one day a year to help perpetuate the race.
Cortez's men thought they found the island in 1535, because they found pearls.
Later, Francisco de Ulloa found that the island was really a peninsula.

Just like any "beautiful" woman! Never what it seems at
first sight!
My other Hindutva opposingtva firend says:
