Scientists recently discovered a sunken mountain called Mount Los Atlantes, off the coast of the Canary Islands, that has the characteristics of islands that existed millions of years ago. The discovery was made by scientists exploring the seabed with a remote-operated vehicle (ROV). The scientists believe the mountain may have inspired the legend of Atlantis because it contains inactive volcanoes, beaches, and cliffs. The discovery was announced in a Live Science article titled "This could be the origin of the Atlantis legend": Mountain that sank beneath the waves discovered off Canary Islands. Meanwhile, a YouTube video entitled "Lost Roman Map has ATLANTIS at Eye of Sahara Africa! (Richat Structure)" claims that the Richat Structure in the Sahara Desert is the location of the lost city of Atlantis. The video's creator uses a Roman map, geological evidence, and the timing of events to support his claim that the Richat Structure was once underwater and that the geological features and surrounding landscape match Plato's description of Atlantis.
