ATLANTIS FOUND!


SPAIN – A U.S-led research team has located the lost city of Atlantis, in mud flats in southern Spain.

Atlantis has been found!  And it was found 60 miles inland in the mud flats of Spain.  How did it get there?  A tsunami!

An international team, led by Fritz Barnkopf, found the true site of Atlantis.

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.

“We used modern technology and we used Professor Barnkopf’s dog, Scruffy, who we call the Lost City Sniffer.  He sniffed out Atlantis in the Spanish marshlands,” said lead geologist, Moses Blue.

Barnkopf’s discovery in central Spain has finally conclusively proven the existence of Atlantis.  Most of the citizens of Atlantis died a violent death at the hands of the tsunami, but “Atlantis residents who did not perish in the tsunami fled inland and built new cities there,” Barnkopf said.

..

“We found something that no one else has ever seen before,”  Barnkopf said.  He plans on finding El Dorado next and he and his team plans to look for Oz next year.

Greek philosopher Plato wrote about Atlantis some 2,600 years ago, describing it as “an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Hercules,” as the Straits of Gibraltar were known in antiquity. Using Plato’s detailed account of Atlantis as a map, searches have focused on the Mediterranean and Atlantic as the best possible sites for the city.

Plato can now rest in peace.  Atlantis has been found!

    Atantis found is probably a good start to get to know about earth intervention from abroad long ago, so what can be hid from the public? The secret service is onnnnn!

    They usually have much better 'pictures' than the above. I was starting to think I was watching a promo for a new SyFy Saturday movie! ☺☻☺

    This can't be THE Atlantis. I thought Atlantis was in the Caribbean.

  7. kassi says:

    I doubt this is really the Atlantis Plato spoke of.Plato was Greek and everything said or written about Atlantis is talking about Greek places and Greek sites….Its not near Spain…Note him talking about finding Oz which is only in a book and El dorado which was what South America was called when the Coquistadors raided it

    • louise says:

      On the contrary, Plato was quite aware of the world beyond Greece. The Mediterranean was well known to the sea faring Greeks. Plato himself described the place in the western Med. Sea. He spoke of the The Pillars of Hercules. This was the Greek name for the Straights of Gibraltar.

      Uh… As for the part about Elderado and Oz? That part is a joke.

    • jackalope hunter says:

      Eldorado was a mythical city, not a land mass.

    • jackalope hunter says:

      Eldorado is a "mythical" city in South America, not South America as a whole.

    I saw these exact moments in Shark Hunter (Arcade game) cutscenes.

    Atlantis is the capitol of Georgia in the U.S.

  10. jackalope hunter says:

    You can't go on vacation in Atlantis.

    now that we have found Atlantis maybe we can try and find some kind of technology to use to destroy this asteroid coming straight for us and going ta wipe out mankind!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. andrew says:

    This isn't Atlantis. The remains of Atlantis is where Cuba is now.

  13. Mr.Anonymous says:

    The REAL Atlantis is (or was) in the Caribbean. If it is off the coast of Spain now, it is because the Spainish stole it.

  14. Mr. Anonymous says:

    There was 3 different possible sites on this site in a little over 2 years. Which 1 is the REAL Atlantis?

  15. Nosmo King says:

    The "Atlanteans" that are still there would probably eat your brains!!

  16. jackalope hunter says:

    WE, the Atlantean 3 (andrew, jackalope hunter, Mr. Anonymous), say that the REAL Atlantis is in the Caribbean.

    • andrew says:

      We, the Atlantean 3, are interested in Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, eathquakes, volcanoes, Terminators, and the undead.

    you are all stupid, if it is Atlantis there has to be scientific proof, to me this is bullshit, i have read lots of articles about Atlantis, it has all been polluted with all the crap people make up, because of that, people dont know the real story.
