claim to have found the remains of Atlantis

Atlantis, the lost paradise described by Plato that disappeared after a large earthquake could be in Spain, according to an investigation that began five years ago with a satellite photo .

texts of Plato placed Atlantis in front of the Pillars of Hercules, instead attributed to the Strait of Gibraltar that marked the limit of the known world, and described as an island larger than Libya and Asia combined.

For years, scientists and amateur archeology have been awarded their findings. One of the most recent was an aeronautical engineer in the UK Bernie Bamford, who in 2009 said he found it using Google Earth and Google Ocean, but it was a map of the ocean floor.

However, after two years of research, an international team that participated in Professor Richard Freund of the American University of Hartford believes it has located the lost island in the Doñana National Park in Cadiz, he told EFE . " We have discovered a geological pattern that usually found in nature "said Freund, who explained that the structure and arrangement of the boulders has been detected shows that human intervention and could be the remains of the former island.

The research is supported by National Geographic and has been followed by the channel specializing in science, which has recreated the discovery in a documentary to be broadcast in the United States yesterday. She told

Freund, in 2003, a team of German scientists, led by Werner Wickboldt discovered in satellite images of the Mediterranean Sea rectangular structures and concentric rings that match with descriptions of the island of the Greek philosopher.

Specifically noticed a Hinojos marsh, there are two rectangular structures and the remains of several concentric rings that have surrounded, as stated by Plato in "Timaeus" and "Critias."
Using this description as a guide and satellite photographs of what appears to be a submerged city just north of Cadiz, southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, Freund and the international team tried to locate the island was 925 meters in diameter and was surrounded by several circular structures, land and water.

To determine the exact coordinates of the island, which historians say was buried under water by a great flood caused by a tsunami, have been using a combination of submarine technology, depth of ground radar and digital mapping.

The team of archaeologists and historians focused on ground-based measurements and mark where digging, made with carbon analysis confirmed that the layers corresponding to the Bronze Age there are signs that there was a violent storm or a tsunami in the area.

Another team, led by professors from the University of Huelva (Spain) Juan Antonio Morales and Claudio Lozano focused on the measurement of geological formations that could belong to the area of \u200b\u200bthe former Bay of Tarshish.
addition, radiocarbon analysis made in Madrid and Miami (Florida) indicated that the deadline for a settlement had been in the Doñana National Park is the 2,500 BC, which coincides with the approximation made by historians.

Wickboldt The German scientist said in his research that the Greeks might have confused the Egyptian word for "coast" and it translated as "island" to convey the story to future generations, which would confirm this discovery. " Jorge Bonsor, perhaps Spain's most important archaeologist of the early twentieth century and was looking for in the 1920's in the park of Doñana Atlantis so this was a famous place to find a place famous " said Freund .
