The search for the lost city of Atlantis has captivated researchers and adventurers for centuries. Now, a new documentary from National Geographic (NG) offers an incredible glimpse into the latest expedition to explore the fabled sunken metropolis.
Using satellite photography, ground-penetrating radar and underwater technology, an international team of experts is now surveying marshlands in Spain to look for evidence of the ancient city. Led by Dr. Richard Freund, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Hartford, the team is hoping to match geological formations to Plato’s descriptions and accurately date artifacts back to the time period when Atlantis was believed to have existed.

The study focuses on a site just above Cadiz where satellite imagery showed a suspected submerged city. Over the course of two years – 2009 and 2010 – these ruins were surveyed using radar technology and digital imagery, helping researchers form some intriguing hypotheses about what happened to this legendary lost city.
An analysis of these data revealed that the region had been struck by a huge tsunami thousands of years ago, very likely responsible for ravaging what remained of Atlantis and pushing it beneath Donana’s marshy plains. While findings are still inconclusive and much remains unknown about this historic site, viewers will gain an unprecedented look at how technology is aiding this important archaeological exploration during NG’s exclusive documentary ‘Finding The Lost City Of Atlantis’.
