Archeologist reveals stunning 'proof' that they've discovered the lost city of Atlantis
The lost city could be located near Spain
An archeologist left a podcast host speechless after he revealed the stunning ‘proof’ that they have finally found the lost city of Atlantis.
The revelation came out during a taping of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast where Rogan interviewed researcher Ben van Kerkwyk.
The city is said to have sunk beneath sea level over 11,000 years ago with Plato describing it as once being home to an advanced civilization that constructed large temples and harbor walls.
However, modern day archeologists have been unable to locate such a place, although Kerkwyk believes it may have already been discovered.

On the podcast, he said: “There’s a guy named Michael Donnellan… And he thinks he’s found, at least, if not Atlantis, a part of Atlantis off the coast of Spain. And they 100% found some s*** in the waters.”
Rogan appeared to be shocked by the claims, only responding with, ‘wow’.
Donnellan worked for eight years to create 3D images of the underwater findings.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, the expert believes that the details in Plato’s work match perfectly with the findings of ruins they have made, which includes the likes of underwater structures which were found along the coast around Cádiz, which is a city in Andalusia.
He said: “All those details align perfectly with the region we’re studying, as our investigations reflect Plato’s texts with extraordinary precision, truly to a perfect degree.”
Donnellan continued: “When you read Plato’s texts, the Timaeus and Critias, he’s got all these incredible details of what the place was like, where it was, that you could plant all year long, that it was in the region of Gades in the Atlantic.”
He added: “The team brings together a wide array of specialists and technologies, from the dive team to the scanning experts and the academics who have contributed to this project.
“I want to take a moment to thank the extended team for all their hard work and dedication.”
Along with others, Donnellan has the view that an event is likely to have occurred around 12,000 years ago that completely wiped out a civilization such as those who may have lived in Atlantis.
And while the city is considered to be a myth, the archeologist believes that it could be very real.
Donnellan said: “All of those details [from Plato] coincide perfectly with where we're studying.”
If correct, it could finally be an answer to an ancient mystery.
