Richard Freund, director of the University’s Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies, continues to gain worldwide interest for the work he and a team of archaeologists and scientists have been doing in southern Spain that could potentially be the location of the legendary city of Atlantis.

Freund, who’s scheduled appearance on NBC’s Today Show last week was postponed, will still be featured on the show at a date that has yet to be announced.

The location of the site is within a marshland of southern Spain, and the team has been surveying for artifacts.

Any evidence found is being matched with the philosopher Plato’s explanation of Atlantis’ existence; to solve one of the world’s biggest mysteries.

Freund explained in an interview with Reuters that the cause of the lost city was something not uncommon today; a tsunami.

According to him, the search began after the discovery of a series of “memorial cities” in Spain, places residents of Atlantis fled to after it was destroyed. Because of this, Freund and his team expect that Atlantis was buried somewhere along Spain’s southern coast.

“We found something that no one else has ever seen before, which gives it a layer of credibility, especially for archeology, that makes a lot more sense,” Freund told Reuters.

Freund has already done interviews with various media outlets such as WNPR Radio, NBC Connecticut, the New Haven Register, WTNH Channel 8, Fox CT, BBC Radio, and numerous other outlets.
