‘Brazilian Atlantis’: Scientists discover traces of sunken continent under Atlantic Ocean
The material was reportedly found more than 8,000 feet beneath the sea in a region known as the Rio Grande Elevation. “This is the region that has been least explored worldwide,” added Kawakami. “So, we believe it is very important to research it.” "From an analysis, we began to see that the area could be a piece of the continent that disappeared into the sea millions of years ago," Santos said as quoted by AFP.
