Japanese geologist finds another Atlantis
Marine geologist Masaaki Kimura claims that the ruins of a city off the coast of Yonaguni Island, on the southwestern border of Japan, are traces of the Asian counterpart of Atlantis, an ancient civilization swallowed by the ocean.
The mysterious rock formations were found in 1985 by scuba diving tourists. Kimura worked for decades to prove that these are traces of an ancient city that could spawn the legend of the land of Mu, the Pacific equivalent of the legend of the lost city of the Atlanteans.
The rocks that Professor Kimura is investigating have an unusually flat surface in some places. In one place you can see something like a stone staircase. The scientist admits that about 4 thousand years ago, this section of the ocean floor could be above water. He also recalls the legends about the mysterious civilization of Lemuria, which, according to some, sank in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
In addition to the aforementioned staircase, the professor talked about such finds, such as the remains of a castle, a temple, a huge theater like the Roman Colosseum, a triumphal arch, even humanoid statues.
The scientist believes that the city was washed away during an earthquake 3 thousand years ago. However, many scientists dispute his claim, believing that the ruins may have been formed by natural causes such as tidal and volcanic activity. They are skeptical about the main argument of Professor Kimura - a piece of stone, which, according to the scientist, is the carved head of a water buffalo.
Skeptics also say that several artifacts, such as clay pots or weapons, only prove that people lived among rock formations. Kimura stays with her convictions. “I'm pretty sure this is a mysterious civilization, lost in the tectonic deformation of the Pacific,” he says.
Lemuria, or the land of Mu, is a mythical island (or continent) that perished as a result of the Flood. It was believed that it existed in the Indian Ocean, and from it remained Madagascar, Ceylon, the western islands of Indonesia, the smaller islands of the Indian Ocean. But a few studies have not found any convincing evidence for the existence of a large island or continent with an advanced civilization, and some supporters of the existence of Lemuria hastened to transfer the sunken land to the Pacific Ocean.
Scientists regularly find traces of settlements on the ocean floor For example, the British discovered their own "Atlantis" near the British Isle of Wight.

British archaeologists suggest that when the sea level began to rise due to climate warming, ancient people were forced to move to higher ground, leaving their homes.
The ancient city was also found by divers at the bottom of the Black Sea, not far from Evpatoria.
It is located at a depth of 14 meters. Underwater filming captured streets, walls of houses, fragments of columns. It is not yet known to what time the find belongs, perhaps, at the bottom of the sea, the remains of a city from 450-500 BC were found, which went under water along with a piece of land as a result of an earthquake.
The expedition of Robert Sarmast discovered Atlantis 80 km southeast of the island of Cyprus at a depth of 1.5 kilometers below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea.
An ultrasonic echo sounder brought from this depth an image of a stone wall, which stretches in a straight line for 3 kilometers and in one place is crossed by another similar wall.
According to the author of the "Book of Atlantis" Svyatoslav Romanov, it is theoretically possible to find the sunken ancient continent with its palaces, temples and squares sunken under water in 300 places. It was this conclusion that allowed the study of the "testimony" of ancient and medieval prospectors of the mysterious island.
