Atlantis SHOCK: Researcher claims Atlantic rock ‘MATCHES Plato’s description PERFECTLY’
ATLANTIS has been found hiding in plain sight in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, according to a bombshell documentary.
Canary Islands are the location of Atlantis claims expert
The mythical city was first written about by Greek Philosopher Plato in 360BC. Since then, many historians have dedicated their lives to finding it, with hundreds of claims over the years placing its resting point around the globe. However, it may have been hiding in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean all along, according to a new Amazon Prime series.
“Proof That Left Historian’s Speechless” claims the Canary islands may be holding a 10,000-year-old secret.
The 2018 documentary revealed: “Atlantis was an island described as smaller than Italy and somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
“But it was close enough for its ships to pass the Straits of Gibraltar and enter the Mediterranean.
“Its civilisation originated towards the end of the last ice age and it originally had significant trade with other nations.
This description perfectly matches the volcanic Canary Islands
“It was volcanic and was destroyed by an earthquake.
“This description perfectly matches the volcanic Canary Islands.”
Both Tenerife and La Palma contain volcanoes and are also on the ancient, but disputed,trade route into the Americas.
Roman author Pliny the Elder claimed the islands were uninhabited in 600BC but contained the remains of ancient buildings.
There is also evidence a number of the Canary Islands were once linked together, creating a much larger state, according to the same documentary.

It continued: “Some of the Canary Islands as we know them were linked together 10,000 years ago.
“Geological records show that from time-to-time large parts of these islands have collapsed into the sea, leaving debris.
“Some archaeologists think that, as sea levels rose, the rock connecting the islands became saturated in water and unstable.
“Finally, following a severe earthquake, it sank into the water and was pulled away by the current.”

The legend of Atlantis originates from Plato’s “The Republic” – a story handed down by generations.
In the book, Athens repels an Atlantean attack unlike any other nation in the known world, giving testament to his concept of a state.
The tale ends with Atlantis losing the favour of their deities and the city eventually sinks into the Atlantic Ocean.
However, the majority of present-day philosophers agree the story is of a fictional nature, claiming it was entirely made up by Plato.
