Recently, a discovery was made on islands that have been buried for millions of years off the coast of the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands are located just off the coast of North Africa, to the west of the Western Sahara. Scientists believe that these sea islands could be the origin of the myth of Atlantis. I am convinced that we will eventually find evidence of ancient human civilizations way advanced than our. It’s possible that Atlantis dates back to the time of Lord Buddha Kassapa.
A large seamount with three inactive volcanoes that sank into the ocean millions of years ago off the coast of Lanzarote may have inspired the legend of Atlantis.
Researchers in Spain have uncovered lost islands that sank into the ocean millions of years ago, some of which still have their beaches intact.
“This could be the origin of the Atlantis legend,” Luis Somoza, the head of a project to study volcanic activity off the Canary Islands, told Live Science in an email.
The team found the islands on a seamount, or underwater mountain, which contains three now inactive volcanoes and is about 31 miles (50 kilometers) in diameter. Its base is about 1.4 miles (2.3 km) below the surface of the ocean.
Scientists dubbed the newfound seamount Mount Los Atlantes after Plato’s fabled civilization that the gods plunged into the ocean as a punishment for its citizens’ immorality.
