An archaeologist believes he has discovered Atlantis near Cádiz, Spain. Michael Donnellan presented compelling underwater footage showing large, linear structures resembling concentric walls, some over 20 feet tall. Damage from a possible tsunami is evident, with walls displaced and canals between them. A central ruin matches Plato's description of Poseidon's temple. Donnellan proposes the term 'great ancient Atlantic culture' to make the idea of Atlantis more palatable to the public, aiming to change perceptions of the myth's validity.
Donnellan spent eight years investigating the coast of Cádiz using sonar and LiDAR, uncovering long, linear structures across the ocean floor, organized in concentric circular walls.
The outermost wall showed damage resembling impacts from a massive tsunami, while the second and third walls were split and displaced, indicating a catastrophic event.
At the center of the findings was a rectangular ruin echoing Plato's description of Poseidon's temple, suggesting it could be the capital city of Atlantis.
Donnellan believes calling it the great ancient Atlantic culture makes it easier for people to consider the narratives of Atlantis more seriously.
