A U.S.-led research team may have finally located the lost city of Atlantis, the legendary metropolis believed swamped by a tsunami thousands of years ago in mud flats in southern Spain.
“This is the power of tsunamis,” head researcher Richard Freund told Reuters.
Dr Freund is an archaeologist from the University of Hartford, Conn. I cannot find anywhere that the ‘findings’ have been examined and discussed by other archaeologist…i.e. peer reviewed, or even discussed among geologists or other related scientists before being published/released.
Here’s something that the Atlantis fanboys never, ever consider: Plato died in 347 BC - or 2358 years ago. Pretty much anything would seem advanced to somebody who lived back then. The supposedly advanced Atlantean civilization, assuming it ever existed in the first place, probably never advanced beyond bronze weapons and indoor plumbing. Sure, those are fairly important achievements, but that’s all there is to it. As our own civilization gets more technologically advanced, the myth of Atlantis gets inflated too.
