Is this Atlantis?

David Pescovitz 10:20 am Mon Jun 7, 2004

Researcher Rainer Kuehne of the University of Wuppertal believes that structures visible in satellite photos of a salt marsh region near the Spanish city of Cadiz may be "Atlantean" temples. This region on the southern coast of Spain was washed away by a flood between 800-500 BC.

"(In his description of Atlantis) 'Plato wrote of an island of five stades (925m) diameter that was surrounded by several circular structures – concentric rings – some consisting of Earth and the others of water. We have in the photos concentric rings just as Plato described,' Dr Kuehne told BBC News Online."
