Yet, One more Atlatnis

One more claim that Atlatis has been found was reported recently in the media. The whole report looks more like an advertisemt for a National Geographic episode to be aired soon.

As fascinating as the story is, the report makes not mention of actual finds, and only talks about someone making obsrvations on "satellite images". The whole thing smells like the typical "documentaries" these channels have been airing for years, where some "scientist", or "explorer" or a "reporter want-to-be-somethig-else" looks around for stuff. Usually, these programs are all about the "explorer" looking around and nothing ever yields any real knowledge in the end.

Of course, I hope my cynicism is unfounded and that we get to see some real published results that prove that whatever they found is the lost city of Atlantis.

Here is the report

For the record, Plato is the only source of the "lost city of Atlantis" and in his writings he mentions that it is not a real place.
