The geographer who demonstrated the similarity between Ireland and
Atlantis is now providing more details. New data supports the
hypothesis that the original tale came to Ireland from an island that
sank much like Plato claimed. Geological data now points to an exact
location--in the North Sea.

Miami, Fla. (PRWEB) April 26, 2006 -- In 2004 a geographer
demonstrated the similarity between Ireland and Plato's Atlantis. He
suggested that the tale of the island that sank came to Ireland from
the North Sea. New geological data may confirm the hypothesis.

By comparing Plato's description with 3-dimensional seismic data from
oil exploration, and archaeological analyses of paleoenvironments, a
plausible location has been found in the Silver Pit meteorite impact
crater. If so, it is not just under the sea, but under the bottom of
the sea. This would explain why it has not been found yet: 3D seismic
studies is something quite new.

Another fact that would explain why it hasnot been found yet is that
it is buried under more than a kilometre of younger sediment.

A better map thanthe one cited in that article:

The crater is well to the north and east of the "Silver Pit" seabed
feature.
