Atlantis Found in Spain
Time magazine online reports that researchers are claiming that they may have found the lost city of Atlantis in Spain:
"The new proposed site of Atlantis is 60 miles inland, submerged in the swampy Dona Ana Park north of Cadiz, Spain."
Discovery Channel's show Finding Atlantis aired last night, Sunday, showed that the city which was swamped by a tsunami may be found. Reuter's reports that the U.S. led research team used satellite images:
""This is the power of tsunamis," head researcher Richard Freund told Reuters.
"It is just so hard to understand that it can wipe out 60 miles inland, and that's pretty much what we're talking about," said Freund, a University of Hartford, Connecticut, professor who lead an international team searching for the true site of Atlantis.
To solve the age-old mystery, the team used a satellite photo of a suspected submerged city to find the site just north of Cadiz, Spain. There, buried in the vast marshlands of the Dona Ana Park, they believe that they pinpointed the ancient, multi-ringed dominion known as Atlantis."
It will be interesting to see what more is found as the series progresses.
