Alaska or more precisely its Yukon River Valley was identified as the location of Atlantis in 2004 by a Russian astrophysicist, Albert M.

*A few years ago Jason Colavito wrote(a) of a claim made by Linda Moulton-Howe that twenty years earlier, following a nuclear test in the region, a large cavity was created within which was a pyramid larger than Giza’s Great Pyramid!
Last Year (2018), The Daily Star, published a similar piece of drivel(b), claiming that a pyramid had been identified on Google Earth off the coast Alaska, again comparing it to Giza. Not without precedent the article was headlined Atlantis Found?
