Satellite images 'show Atlantis'
By Paul Rincon
BBC News Online science staff

A scientist says he may have found remains of the lost city of Atlantis.
Satellite photos of southern Spain reveal features on the ground appearing to match descriptions made by Greek scholar Plato of the fabled utopia.

Dr Rainer Kuehne thinks the "island" of Atlantis simply referred to a region of the southern Spanish coast destroyed by a flood between 800 BC and 500 BC.

The research has been reported as an ongoing project in the online edition of the journal Antiquity.

Great story, BBB. I need to finish Cussler's book, Atlantis Found, and see if he has a good basis for the novel.

History mysteries. Aren't they intriguing? Edgar Cayce claimed that we were all survivors of Atlantis:

When I was a kid, I used to dream that I would discover some ancient artifact.

I always dreamed that I would find the cure to cancer or some other disease.
