The sonar scans of manmade structures one mile below water off the southeast coast of Cyprus were presented here Thursday by Robert Sarmast, head of the Cyprus/Atlantis Expedition project for the first time.
Announcing the results of last years expedition to find one of humankinds greatest mysteries, the legendary Atlantis, Sarmast presented three dimension underwater side-scan sonar pictures of structures 1.5 km below sea level, 80 km off the southeast coast of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean.
He said it was no coincidence that his team discovered a 3km long straight wall intersected at right angles by another wall, adding that this will silence any remaining skepticism about his longstanding claims that modern Cyprus is what remains of a much larger and now partly sunken mass which fits Platos description of the ancient land of Atlantis.
Sarmast said he is "dedicated to making this discovery a part of something that will benefit Cyprus for decades to come", and announced that he is working with the Cyprus government and has the full support of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation.
In addition, he also announced a partnership with TMC Entertainment group[ (Los Angeles/USA) that will undertake a two-hour Atlantis documentary for the second expedition with the last half hour of it being a live broadcast from the ship.

I agree with all this except the Atlantis part. I believe the Mediterranean was blocked off during the Ice Age and it's waters were much, much lower. There's probably a lot of villages, etc. down there.
mellow yellow, baby. the very next phase.
Thanks Q5 for the ping, and JB6 for the topic. I think we've got one or two on this, but as they're old, I may wind up pingin' the list when I get home.
