American researchers claim to have found convincing evidence that locates the site of the lost kingdom of Atlantis off the coast of Cyprus....They believe they found evidence of massive, manmade structures beneath the ocean floor, including two straight, 2-km (1.25 mile) long walls on a hill. They say their discoveries match accounts of the city written by Plato.

Other researchers have placed it off the coast of Spain, Cuba and the south west of England, as well as under the South China Sea."
