- Granite samples could have been submerged by the Atlantic Ocean when Africa split from South America 100 million years ago
- Geologists have dubbed this mysterious continent the 'Brazilian Atlantis'
Rocks discovered off the coast of Rio in Brazil could be part of a hidden continent, according to geologists.
The granite samples were found when Brazil's Geology Service (CPRM) dredged the seabed near the Rio Grande Elevation - a long seismic mountainous ridge that runs along the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
And now scientists claim the rocks were likely part of a continent that sunk into the ocean when Africa and South America drifted apart 100 million years ago - dubbing the discovery the 'Brazilian Atlantis'.

Is nothing new? Back in March 1966 the major newspapers across the US were reporting about a sunken civilization with cities found off the West coast of South America.
Later a Mormon tried to convince me that the sunken cities were covered with Hebrew writing.
I haven’t heard a word of them since.
