Although Spain and Santorini featured in the two-hour show, the focus seemed has moved from Spain to the Central Mediterranean, where filming is taking place on <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/malta\/\">Malta<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/sardinia-amended\/\">Sardinia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/sicily\/\">Sicily<\/a>. In my view, this region contained most, if not all, of the Atlantean territory, from southern Italy to northwest Africa, along with a number of the islands.

I think it reasonable to question why <em>NG<\/em> did not approach <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/sergio-frau\/\">Sergio Frau,<\/a>who has done more than Ishoy in terms of publicising the possible relevance of Sardinia to the Atlantis mystery. It has now emerged that <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantipedia.ie\/samples\/diaz-montexano-georgeos\/\">Georgeos Diaz-Montexano<\/a> has also been interviewed, which suggests that Sardinia may not be the sole focus of the documentary as Ishoy was apparently led to believe.<\/p>\n<p>This new <em>NG<\/em> offering aired early in 2017.
