In the evolution of the world many scientific and indubitable distinctions have been made. From the discovery of the Earth being round opposed to flat, to the concept that the earth formed around 4.6 billion years ago. However, as technology grows and our minds expand more and more theories and facts are proven wrong. As a result, the discovery of a lost city deep below the Ocean Sea may perhaps in time force us to revise our theory on some of the processes of the earth.
This lost city is around 1.5 million years old and composed of vast mountain chains rising from the sea floor in the North Atlantic, 15km off of the axis of the consistently growing Mid Atlantic Ridge (which is 60,000km total in length). The depth of the water in the lost city is 700-800m and it is around 40-75 degrees C. However, what makes the lost city so special and unusual are its hydrothermal vents, which happen to be very unlike most hydrothermal vents. During the past twe...
