Is Atlantis real? Archaeologist unveils stunning underwater footage of the fabled city.
A groundbreaking claim from archaeologist and filmmaker Michael Donnellan has reignited the debate surrounding the ancient legend of Atlantis. According to Donnellan, the remains of this long-lost civilization may lie just two miles off the coast of Cádiz, Spain — a city widely considered the oldest in Western Europe. His findings, based on eight years of research and exploration, were unveiled at the Cosmic Summit, a North Carolina conference centered around alternative history.
Donnellan’s team used sonar and LiDAR technology to survey the seafloor off the Andalusian coast. Their scans revealed long, linear structures arranged in what appear to be concentric circular walls, each rising over 20 feet from the seabed. These massive walls form a pattern that Donnellan says is identical to Plato’s descriptions of Atlantis in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, written around 360 BC.
The outermost wall, Donnellan reports, shows signs of significant damage, as if it had been pummeled by a massive tsunami racing in from the sea. The second and third rings appear to have been completely displaced, with LiDAR scans capturing clear fractures. Between the walls lie intricately carved canals, and at the very center is a rectangular ruin, which Donnellan believes matches the temple of Poseidon described in the ancient texts.
