Atlantis: Discovered at Last?

Posted by Hemos on from the so-many-submissions dept.

Henry G. writes "The BBC is reporting that recent satellite pictures may show the location of the fabled city of Atlantis, as described by Plato. It is in Southern Spain, though, and not on an island as is commonly believed. Here's an image of the concentric rings over the alleged area." This story has gotten a lot of submissions; it's worth noting that it's also shown up off Cyprus, or near Cuba, or is Crete, or... It is worth noting that that Ubar was found this way.

    It was about these canals they found in Brazil that run dead straight for hundreds of miles, along with manmade mounds that are above the floodplain, supposedly for growing crops.

    Anybody know anything more about this?

    I can't help feeling that such fundamental issues as the difference between the word for "coastal land" and "island" could have radically confused our understanding of ancient history...

    And let's not start to talk about how the difference between "Virgin" and "Young woman" have radically confused our understanding of the Bible...
