In the 1950s, scientists were aware that there might be some sort of ancient structure at the bottom of Lake Van. They heard that the structure was built during the Middle Ages between the years 476 and 1450 A.D. In the ’50s and ‘60s, scientists didn’t have access to the kind technology that we have now, that aids in making these types of underwater discoveries.

On this second expedition in 2017, the scientists would be able to discover much more than their past counterparts.

This lake has been a hot spot for explorers for decades. People have been coming here in search of a long lost city, similar to the City of Atlantis. Divers have found old bottles, bits of glass, some interesting stones, but no evidence of a lost civilization.

This team of researchers wasn’t expecting to find something as magical as the sunken City of Atlantis, so when they did, they almost couldn’t believe their eyes.
