Groundbreaking Atlantis Discovery: Joe Rogan Shocked by Ancient City Found off Spain's Coast
In a stunning revelation that has captivated the world of archaeology and ancient mysteries, independent researcher Ben Van Kerkwyk revealed during an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that the fabled lost city of Atlantis may finally have been located off the Spanish coast. This groundbreaking claim aligns astonishingly well with Plato's ancient description of the mythical civilization, long considered the stuff of legend.
The Legendary Atlantis: From Myth to Modern Discovery
First described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was depicted as a grand civilization with monuments temples, extensive harbour walls and advanced infrastructure swallowed by the sea more than 11,000 years ago. For centuries, explorers and scientists have debated its existence, oscillating between myth and potential reality.
During the widely popular podcast, Joe Rogan expressed shock and awe as Van Kerkwyk discussed the discovery made by archaeologist Michael Donnellan. According to Van Kerkwyk, Donnellan's investigation revealed "vast linear formations and gigantic concentric circular walls" scattered across the ocean floor, indicating the presence of something extraordinary.
"A man named Michael Donnellan believes has uncovered, if not the entirety of Atlantis, then at least a portion of it off the Spanish coast," said Van Kerkwyk, adding, "There's no doubt they discovered something significant in those waters." Rogan's reaction was simply: "Wow."
Mapping the Sunken City: Advanced Technologies Reveal Ancient Structures
Michael Donnellan, an independent archaeologist, dedicated eight years to meticulously exploring the coastal region near Cádiz, Andalusia. employing state-of-the-art sonar mapping technology, Donnellan produced high-resolution 3D images of the seabed uncovering detailed and elaborate ruins submerged underwater.
Combining Satellite and Aerial Data
Donnellan's approach went beyond sonar. He collaborated with experts using Merlin Burrows' satellite analysis methods and aerial photography to further reveal hidden patterns beneath the waves. These complementary technologies confirmed the presence of structured international designs on the seabed.
"It's absolutely captivating - they have undeniably discovered something manmade," remarked Van Kerkwyk.
Remarkable Findings: Walls, Canals and Possible Temple
the images revealed linear formations across the seabed, creating a set of concentric circular walls over 20 feet high, arranged in a deliberate and systematic manner. Between the walls, intricately carved canals crisscrossed the structure possibly serving as ancient waterways or irrigation systems.
At the core of the site lies a rectangular structure which Donnellan posits could correspond to Poseidon's temple, described by Plato as the heart of Atlantis. The outermost wall showed signs of catastrophic damage as it impacted by a massive tsunami, while inner walls were displaced and fractured.
"Every detail corresponds precisely with the area under our study, as our research mirrors Plato's writings with remarkable accuracy, almost to perfection," explained Donnellan.
Linking Plato's Texts with Modern Discoveries
Plato's accounts in the works Timaeus and Critias describe fertile lands, advanced societal structure and rich network of trade. Donnellan's discovery of ancient ruins, prehistoric settlements and ancient mining operations near Gades (modern-day Cádiz) remarkably mirrors these descriptions.
He elaborated, "When reading Plato's Timaeus and Critias, the detailed descriptions of the site's features fertile lands and its location in the Cádiz region of the Atlantic area truly remarkable."
This discovery lends fresh weight to the idea that Atlantis was not merely myth but a real civilization that suffered sudden catastrophe possibly due to massive floods or seismic events.
The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis: A Cataclysmic Event
Michael Donnellan and several researchers support the controversial Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH), which suggests Earth passed through debris from a fragmented comet about 12,000 years ago. This event allegedly triggered shockwaves, destabilizing large ice sheets and leading to massive environmental disruptions--flooding, ocean current shifts and rapid global cooling.
"Plato spoke of animals that assisted with everyday tasks, notably the horse, the bull and the elephant," Donnellan remarked. He pointed out that some of the oldest known hose breeds and fighting bulls are native to this region of Andalusia.
Moreover, evidence of a prehistoric ivory trade passing through southern Spain was unearthed, indicating the presence of ancient international trade routes linking the region with Asia. Notably, ivory from Asian elephants was traded here, suggesting early economic and cultural connections far beyond what previously assumed.
A Documentary in the Making: Atlantica
Michael Donnellan is preparing a documentary titled Atlantica, expected to offer a detailed exploration of these findings. The film promises to combine underwater footage, high-resolution 3D reconstructions and interviews with leading experts to shed light on this historic investigation.
"The team comprises a diverse range of specialists from divers and scanning technicians to academics contributing to this groundbreaking project," said Donnellan. He expressed gratitude toward the collaborative effort, underscoring the dedication involved in pursuing such a controversial theory.
The Significance of the Discovery
If verified, this discovery could fundamentally alter our understanding of ancient human history challenging the idea that advanced civilizations did not exist before recorded history.
"This discovery is more than a scientific milestone; it's a window into a forgotten past," remarked Joe Rogan during the podcast. The revelation not only feeds the enduring mystery of Atlantis but emphasizes the power of combining advanced technology with persistent scientific inquiry.
Unlike previous explorations this investigation uses cutting-edge tools and collaborative research, raising the bar for how ancient history is studied in the 21st century.
What Lies Ahead: Validating the Atlantis Theory
While the findings are compelling, the scientific community remains cautious. Donnellan himself stresses the need for continued research and peer-reviewed validation to confirm whether this truly is part of the fabled Atlantis.
Further expeditions and detailed sampling of the site are planned as well as collaborations with historians, archaeologists and geologists to strengthen the emerging theory.
"Whether this is Atlantis or a significant ancient settlement remains to be seen, but the evidence is undeniably intriguing," Donnellan concluded.
A Window into Ancient Civilization
As the world watches in anticipation, the Atlantis mystery edges closer to potential resolution. With every sonar scan and satellite image the possibility that ancient legends contain kernels of truth becomes stronger.
The upcoming Atlantica documentary, coupled with future research, promises to spark further discussion in both the scientific community and the general public, reminding us that history may still hold secrets beneath the waves.
