Atlantis is Found ???!!!

An international team of experts led by American archaeologists may have found Atlantis in the marshy region of southern Spain !!!

Millennial mystery 

Greek philosopher Plato wrote of Atlantis 2600 years ago, describing it as an island situated in front of the ‘pillars of Hercules’ in the Strait of Gibraltar.Using Plato’s descriptions, researchers have focused on the combination of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean as the most probable location of the lost civilization. Freund says the tsunamis in this area are well documented. One of the largest, the size of today’s ten storey, struck Lisbon in 1755. 

Debates about whether Atlantis ever existed last for thousands of years. Plato’s Dialoguesfrom 360 BC are only known historical mentioning of this mythical city. Plato wrote that Atlantis is an island that disappeared in the depths of the sea. Freund and his group plan  further excavations at the site where they believe  Atlantis is located around 200 kilometers distant, mysterious cities in the Spanish mainland.

An international team of experts led by American archaeologists may have found Atlantis in the marshy region of southern Spain !!! 

Team of archaeologists has worked two years and used digital mapping, ground radars, underwater technology and satellite photographs of flooded town near Cadiz, in the south, but the Atlantic area of ​​Spain. There, submerged in the vast swamps of Donana National Park, experts believe they have found ancient Atlantis.

The power of the tsunami 

‘This is the power of the tsunami, “said lead researcher Richard Freund, a professor at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. It is difficult to understand that the surge can wipe out the island one hundred miles in diameter, “he added. 
Freund also said that in Central Spain, they have discovered a strange (series of)  ’memorial cities’, which are modeled based on Atlantis built by inhabitants fled from This gave scientists additional evidence and confidence that  near Cadiz they have found the ‘capital’- Atlantis. 

‘We found something that gives them credibility’ 

The Atlanteans who have managed to save fled the mainland and there built new cities, said Freund. The discoveries of his group will be presented Sunday evening at a special show ‘Seeking Atlantis’ on National Geographic Television. Although it is impossible to know with certainty that it really works on Atlantis, Freund said that  the memorial cities convinced him. 
‘We found something that no one has yet seen, something that gives us additional credibility, especially in archeology, and this story gives a lot more sense, “he said.
