Prof. Richard Freund believes he has finally found the lost city of Atlantis. In Sunday’s National Geographic special “Finding Atlantis,” the University of Hartford professor and his team say they’ve found the remains of the legendary city, just north of Cadiz in Spain.
For thousands of years ago many have debated about the true existence of Atlantis, saying that Atlantis was only a fictional story written by Plato himself.
The lost city of Atlantis believed swamped by a tsunami thousands of years ago was described by Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, written in 360 BC as “an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Hercules,” “There occurred violent earthquakes and floods. And in a single day and night of misfortune… the island of Atlantis disappeared in the depths of the sea.”
They found a site in the northern part of Cadiz, Spain by using a satellite photo of a suspected submerged city. The team used cutting-edge technology and surveyed Dona Ana Park, a mudflat in Cadiz near the Strait of Gibraltar also known as the “Pillars of Hercules” in the ancient world.
In addition the team also found “memorial cities,” they believe were built by tsunami survivors as a tribute to the lost city of Atlantis. They found the memorial cities 150 miles inland from the site.
An image carved in stone of what looks to be an Atlantean warrior was also discovered.
Experts plan to conduct more excavation on the site to find further proof that the mysterious lost city was found.
every thing they found it .we found ( Atlantis) it is bullshit their are old variety nation all over world. you may be found rock or piece of some cities that belong to another nation
their are ancient cities like (hod) or (aad) those nations are so powerful who ruled the world
Metric, you make no sense whatsoever and it’s obvious that you don’t have a clue about anything, so shut up.
Metric, you have the wosre grammer I have ever seen, and you make no sense at all.
Its nice if it really is Atlantis. This wasn’t the first civilized city if it dates back 2000 years… There are cities that were civilized 6000 years ago… Mesopotamia was the first white civilized in the world. The Sumerians were civilized and first to have a writing system as civilized people. I am sure if middle east was a little safer, people would discover older lost cities around middle east. A lot of history came from the middle east and Asia and no one likes to credit those places
The underground site, does appear to have many of Plato’s physical descriptions of what Atlantis was like. What is most revealing is an inscription found on a large stone surface that does bear the symbol of the Lost Continent. This symbol is on my book’s cover; which can be accessed at http://bookofatlantis.com Needless to say, I was both shocked and excited to see this symbol actualized by contemporary archeology.
The problem is that this site is far too late to be Atlantis. It’s carbon dated to have been built between 6,000 and 5,000 BCE. Which is well over 3,000 years after Atlantis sank into the Sea. This according to Plato’s reference dates given to him by Solon; who in turn received this information from Egyptian priests. These Priests revealed that Atlantis existed over 10,000 years before Solon’s time.
There are reference points that suggest this site is more likely connected to the “Sea People” made reference to in Egyptian, Greek and Biblical historical texts, as well as by Plato himself. The people who are reputed, by Plato, to have defeated Atlantean forces in a great Sea Battle and established many colonies throughout the Mediterranean. Plato even alluded to these people originally having settled Athens. Some writers even suggest the very first Troy was founded by them as well.
This current site is most probably an imitation of what was thought to be the design of the legendary Atlantean Capital City of Atalan. This would be quite common. Every ancient civilization of note attempted to copy the culture and architecture of Atlantis just as we still copy much from the Romans of 2000 years ago.
Three concentric rings with a line in the center, the actual symbol of Atlantis, was found carved upon a large stone surface… a marking stone. The human figure on it looks much like the human figures in the cave paintings found in Southern France, not far from this location. This may indicate a possible stylistic and/or cultural relationship. I suggest, this stone marker establishes archeological credence for the very existence of Atlantis.
I believe that Donana is the first great link to Atlantis. Established archeology must rethink its long time, negative, stance on Atlantis. This will be especially true after a number of currently underway excavations, such a Donana, begin to reveal more examples of a unique symbolic connection, some of which are soon to be found everywhere from Spain to India, as well as from around Bimini, Cuba and Bermuda. I predict that even more startling discoveries are to come from Turkey, Egypt, Southern Iran and even Peru.
