| Archaeologist Claims to Have Found Atlantis Just off the Coast of Spain |
Where is it?
| Just two miles off the coast of Cádiz |
What have they found?
| Donnellan's team used sonar and LiDAR technology to survey the seafloor off the Andalusian coast. Their scans revealed long, linear structures arranged in what appear to be concentric circular walls, each rising over 20 feet from the seabed. These massive walls form a pattern that Donnellan says is identical to Plato's descriptions of Atlantis in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, written around 360 BC. |
Plato of course.
| The outermost wall, Donnellan reports, shows signs of significant damage, as if it had been pummeled by a massive tsunami racing in from the sea. The second and third rings appear to have been completely displaced, with LiDAR scans capturing clear fractures. Between the walls lie intricately carved canals, and at the very center is a rectangular ruin, which Donnellan believes matches the temple of Poseidon described in the ancient texts. |
The old tsunami favourite
| During over 20 dives, the team uncovered toppled walls, cut channels, and scattered stones, many of which seem to have been hurled from their original locations. Donnellan describes huge rectangular stones, about half the size of a small car, resting on the seafloor, unlike anything found in Roman or Venetian construction. He asserts that this architectural style is much, much older than any known civilization in the region. |
Older is better.

This is the bit that had me reaching for the off-ramp
| His findings, based on eight years of research and exploration, were unveiled at the Cosmic Summit, a North Carolina conference centered around alternative history. |
If, after eight years, the best they've got is the fuzzy photo used in the press report, they ain't found nuffink yet.

Looks like we have to wait to see their film series.

Meanwhile, they're big in Cadiz.
| In October we premiered Atlantica at the South International Series Festival in Cadiz and at the Malaga Film Festival, with extraordinary success. We received a ten minute standing ovation from the audience, which included several high profile individuals, an affirmation of the importance of our work and of this extraordinary discovery. | |
