but I don't see one for this theory as reported by BBC News last June.

According Dr. Rainer W. Kühne (University of Wuppertal, Germany) working on a theory proposed by Werner Wickboldt, the lost city could have been in a salt marsh region known as Marisma de Hinojos on the southern Spanish coast, in an area destroyed by a flood between 800 BC and 500 BC.

They believe satellite photos show the two temple sites amid a series of concentric rings and other geographic features as described by Plato in Critias and Timaios.



I placed the overlay images in this folder per a lengthy discussion by Dr. Kühne on this forum



Maybe it's true.
