The island in question was called Cyanida (or Kianida), and is featured on maps from the 15th century based on “Geography" (also known as “Geographia" or the “Cosmographia"), a work written ca. 150 AD by 2nd century AD Greco-Roman geographer Claudius Ptolemy. These include maps published in 1467 in the Reichenbach Monastery (today in Southern Germany) such as Ptolemy’s 9th European Map (Nona Europae Tabula) (featuring Dacia (Datia), Thrace (Thracia), and Upper and Lower Moesia) and Ptolemy’s 1st Asian Map (Tabula Asiae I), depicting Asia Minor / Anatolia. (The maps in question are part of the collection of the National Library in Warsaw, Poland.)... the Cyanida / Kianida island off Bulgaria’s coast in the Black Sea does not appear on maps after the 15th century, the conclusion is that it sank at least 500 years ago... might have been about the size of the island of Thasos, Greece, in the Aegean size – which is approximately 380 square kilometers making it Greece’s 12th largest island.

This was circa 147 square miles in size.
Prove it.
Interesting.
Suck it.
Never let the agenda get in the way of the truth. Can’t prove it, always resort to name-calling. I Thess. 5:21.
It should be easy! People know where to look and submersibles could make the trip!
Intriguing.
I seem to recall that they’ve explored the old Black Sea shoreline...I forget how many feet down...and found a lot of artifacts.
Very interesting, but the article itself is so meandering that it is unreadable. I gave up. So, did they find the missing island? It can’t be too difficult with a freaking map.

Cyanide was used for refining gold ore... so someone should be looking for this place.
IF some reasonable assumptions are so.
Ivan Dikov...
Okay.
Does Hank Johnson know about this?
He said it would capsize, not sink. This time, he had nothing to say. 😁
so that’s where Atlantis went!
Well, there goes the theory that is went through a “stargate” and ended up on a water world.
Makes sense... through the straits, which were thought to be the Azores... hmmm... very interesting.
It didn’t sink.
Ben Linus moved it.
Wine and good food were in abundance
so that’s where Atlantis went!
Well, there goes the theory that is went through a “stargate” and ended up on a water world.
Not so fast. It may have gone through a “stargate”
and then returned but at a lower altitude. Oops.
I remember reading a SF story about people teleporting
and that happened, also never teleport from a speeding car!
