A "legendary" British city lost for 650 years has been found

Scientists in Britain believe that the city of Ravenser Odd, dubbed 'Britain's Atlantis' in Yorkshire by historians, has been found after decades of trying to discover the legendary sunken city.

And a recent discovery showed that scientists who have spent decades searching for this city may have finally located the city that disappeared under the water after it was a major stopover for cargo ships and fishing boats.

The city, which lay at the mouth of the Humber River and was swallowed up by the North Sea in 1362, may have been seen by scientists using sonar technology, and experts believe the lost city lies about a mile off the coast of Yorkshire.

Recent research has revealed some exciting discoveries just a few meters from the water's surface.

Sonar equipment has been deployed in the hope of finding the lost city's harbor walls, as investigations have already uncovered rocks and stonework, and experts have said the find will be as legendary as the discovery of Italy's Pompeii, covered in volcanic ash, or on a par with finding the fabled city of Atlantis itself.

Professor Dan Parsons, a geologist at the University of Hull, said: 'It's fascinating, exciting and exhilarating.

The exact location of this medieval city has never been determined but we now have the tools and technology to go there and locate it once and for all.

The team hopes to find a fingerprint of the city and then draw a 3-D map of the surrounding area, drawing on the ports, sea walls and foundations of the city.

Divers could then be deployed to the Yorkshire Atlantis, where experts say they will start analyzing the area because they now have all the data they need.

He said he was "amazed by such an extraordinary discovery".

According to the "Daily Star".

Ravenser Odd was founded in 1235 and mentioned in the works of Richard II and Henry VI, historical works by William Shakespeare, but by 1346 it was missing from information.
