The strange object the shape of a pyramid has been discovered at the bottom of the ocean leading researchers to believe they have found the site of the mythological City of Atlantis.

The mysterious structure, estimated between 3.5 and 11 miles across, was discovered on Google Earth in the Pacific Ocean just west of Mexico. A video outlining the discovery was uploaded to YouTube and has drawn massive speculation that could be an ancient sunken city or UFO.

The “discovery” was made by Argentinian Marcelo Igazusta who described the object as “an intense light in the Pacific Ocean“. According to Scott C Waring, an alien conspiracy theorist, “It is a perfect pyramid that measures over 8.5 miles across one side of its base. That’s a conservative estimate, it could be up to 11 miles across.” Conspiracy theorists claim it could be an undersea ancient pyramid or even something connected to aliens. They said: ”Even if this is not a UFO that landed in the ocean that was being used as an alien base, it still is a monumental discovery.”An 8.5-mile pyramid…biggest the world has ever known, and it’s right off of Mexico, near the ancient Mayan and Aztec pyramids.”
