Breaking news: Atlantis found!. . . .again Atlantis "Evidence" Found in Spain and Ireland

An empire filled with riches, it was an awe-inspiring civilization west of the Strait of Gibraltar's Pillars of Hercules cliffs—until it was defeated by ancient Athens and consumed by a cataclysmic natural disaster.

"In a single day and night … the island … disappeared into the depths of the sea."

So wrote the Greek philosopher Plato in 360 B.C. about the island he called Atlantis. The story is one of the more mysterious and enduring tales in history.

Now new evidence claims that Atlantis was based on a real place—or places.


At least they put the word 'evidence' in quotes.
