Unveiling the Hidden Paradise: The Mysterious 'Lost Continent' Discovered by Unaware Tourists

Tourists may have been unknowingly visiting the remains of a 'lost continent' called Greater Adria, which broke off from North Africa 250 million years ago and sank under parts of Southern Europe. Only a strip of this continent remains, running from Turin to the heel of Italy. This discovery follows the previous finding of Zealandia, a 'lost' continent that was part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. Zealandia, mostly underwater, was first discovered in 1642 and has been used as an example of how something obvious can take time to uncover.
