This is called The Sunkin Lands.

Okay. Mind, a production of IHeart Radio. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind.

And I am Joe McCormick, and we're back with part three in our series called The Sunkin Lands,

about places on Earth that were relatively recently solid land, but are now

covered by the waters. In the previous two parts of this series, we discussed myths, legends,

and obsolete theories of sunken lands, including the most popular drowned civilization, Atlantis,

an advanced island state discussed in the writings of Plato, which the

majority of experts on the original sources seem to think is best interpreted as a fictional

setting used to illustrate a point in Plato's writings rather than a reference to a real place

that actually existed. But of course, that does not stop the many Atlantis hunters of the

internet. Right. And it doesn't stop the human imagination, which has, you know, gone wild with the

concept, as we discussed, in many responsible ways and occasionally irresponsible ways as well.
