They find remains of the Great Adria, the lost continent lost for 250 million years.

250 million years ago, in southern Europe, there was a territory called Grand Adria.

Geologists from the Universities of Utrecht, Oslo and the ETH Zurich Geophysical Institute have done some reconstruction work.

This continent has mysteriously disappeared and almost no trace.

The remains are limestone rocks that can be found in the mountains of southern Europe.

It was very difficult to reconstruct both the original size and shape and history of this missing land mbad.

The rocks of Gran Adria were scattered in 30 countries. Parts of this lost continent are now more than 1,500 kilometers deep.

In their article, geologists explain that much of it has been, for millions of years, the bottom of the shallow tropical seas.

Douwe van Hinsbergen, co-author of the study, revealed that Gran Adria had a "violent and complicated history". The geologist from the University of Utrecht explains that this land mbad separated from the supercontinent Gondwana, which housed the current territory of Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctic, Arabian Peninsula and under -continent Indian, 240 million years ago and since then began to move north.

Later, 140 million years ago, the continent was the size of Greenland, part of its territory was covered with a slight tropical sea. There, the sediments gradually accumulated to become rocks.

Gran Adria continued its journey until the breakup of what is today Europe, there are between 100 and 120 million years ago. The continent is separated. However, some of the rocks of the destroyed continent remained on the surface.
