Atlantis located in Spain? Is one of the world`s greatest mysteries solved?
2012-01-06
Watch this documentary from National Geographic and make up your opinion. Is the mystery about the legendary Atlantis finally solved?
Could the fabled lost city of Atlantis have been located? Using satellite photography, ground-penetrating radar and underwater technology, experts are now surveying marshlands in Spain to look for proof of the ancient city.
If the team can match geological formations to Plato's descriptions and date artifacts back to the time of Atlantis, we may be closer to solving one of the world's greatest mysteries.
Freund, a University of Hartford professor, believes he and his research team claim that they have found the legendary island-city described by Plato in about 360 B.C. as having "in a single day and night ... disappeared into the depths of the sea."
Using satellite photography, ground-penetrating radar, underwater technology and some old-fashioned reasoning, Freund said his team pinpointed the city in a vast marsh in southern Spain that dries out one month a year.
