A National Geographic Channel documentary is claiming that the mythical “lost City of Atlantis,” destroyed by a tsunami thousands of years ago is buried under marshland on the South Atlantic coast of Spain. Historically, the lost city is commonly believed to be in the middle of an ocean. The new proposed site of Atlantis is 60 miles inland, submerged in the swampy Dona Ana Park north of Cadiz, Spain. The revelation was made in a new documentary film, “Finding Atlantis”, which was screened by the National Geographic Channel in the US on Sunday. The show was fronted by Professor Richard Freund, from Hartford University in Connecticut. Professor Freund explained how he led a pursuit to find the lost civilisation, believed by many to be an ancient Greek myth, by using deep-ground radar, digital mapping and satellite imagery during 2009 and 2010. Freund’s team discovered a series of memorial cities, believed to be built by Atlantis refugees, which gave the researches added confidence in their findings.

received this email in relation to our story Rainer W. Kühne 2011/03/17 at 6:28 PM I am the author of the “Atlantis refers to Tartessos” theory which inspired the “Finding Atlantis” documentary by the National Geographic Channel. Maybe it will be helpful if I post some comments here. My theory was published in the June 2004 issue of the journal “Antiquity”. My scientific article inspired the team headed by Sebastian Celestino Perez and Juan Jose Villarias Robles to perform the archaeological and geological expedition in the Donana National Park. Their work began in 2005. They performed two expeditions in the Marisma de Hinojos to test the theory. The first one (for one week) in July 2006 and the second one (for five weeks) in August and September 2009. Richard Freund and collaborators contributed significantly to the geological and geophysical work of the second expedition. I am not a member of the two teams, but I stay in contact with them. The National Geographic documentary was performed in November 2010. I was filmed on 8 November, Juan Villarias (and collaborators) the following day. My theory was published here: http://antiquity.ac.uk/ProjGall/kuhne/ http://www.springerlink.com/index/l230650842118002.pdf The preprint of the second one of these articles was posted here: http://vixra.org/abs/1103.0058 A very brief version of my Tartessos = Tarshish = Atlantis theory can be found here: http://vixra.org/abs/1103.0040 I posted a very brief review (unfortunately with some minor mistakes) of the preliminary results of the archaeological expedition of the team headed by Celestino and Villarias here: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/201656 I hope that these comments may be helpful. |
