According to the Italian expert Sergio Frau, the beautiful island of Sardinia may be Plato's island of Atlantis. The Italian writer and Atlantis expert believes that the southern end of the Mediterranean isle resembles an underwater Pompeii, which may have been the inspiration for Plato's fictional Island of Atlantis. A claim that explicitly contradicts the view that inspiration for the island lies somewhere in the strait of Gibraltar.
Mr Frau recently explained to the Daily Mail Australia that "the southern tip of Sardinia resembles a marine Pompeii submerged by mud, where metal tools, ceramics, pots and oil lamps were found in the mid-20th Century, in a state suggesting people hastily abandoned the site".
