"The International Success of the Series 'Atlantis'"
For centuries, the story of the mythical Atlantis has been considered a legend: a tale passed down by the philosopher Plato about a lost city submerged beneath the waters. Atlantis: Unearthing the Lost City starts from the idea that this story may hold something more—not as a legend, but as the vestige of a real civilisation, hidden in time.
The series follows Andalusian researcher and explorer Jesús Camacho, who, supported by the work and hypotheses of excavation expert Michael Martínez, travels across southern Spain—primarily the provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cádiz—searching for archaeological traces, structures, geological formations, historical accounts and physical evidence that might support the theory that Atlantis was not in the middle of the ocean, but in the heart of Europe, in Andalusia.
Through on-site explorations, interviews with historians, archaeologists and geologists, scientific analysis, 3D reconstructions, contemporary footage and fieldwork, the series proposes to rethink the coordinates of the myth: what if Atlantis was actually a Copper Age empire, with urban centres such as the Chalcolithic settlement of Valencina de la Concepción—considered one of the largest Neolithic settlements in the world—instead of a city submerged in the ocean?
