The Next Best Thing To Finding Atlantis
You put your right foot in, you take
your right foot out. You put your right hand in ... and you find a lost
city.
With
luck that would amaze even Las Vegas oddsmakers, a
team of archaeologists learning to scuba dive in the North Sea has
discovered arrowheads and cutting implements nearly 10,000 years old from a
previously unknown
civilization.
- "To the average person they would seem like ordinary stones you would find on the beach, but to a specialist they were something very exciting indeed," said Dr. Penny Spikins of Newcastle University who led the team.
English Heritage's chief archaeologist David Miles said the discovery gave a glimpse of the "prehistoric Atlantis" which linked modern Britain to continental Europe. "We know that there is a prehistoric Atlantis beneath the North Sea where once an area equal to the size of present day Britain attached us to the continent," he said.
