A large pyramid has been discovered underwater between the islands of Terceira and São Miguel, which are part of the archipelago of the Azores. At an approximate height of 60 meters, the structure boasts an area of 8000 square meters. The finding of a pyramid in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean could reignite the debate around the existence of Atlantis, since there have been numerous postulations that the Azores could be the possible location of the mythical island.

The discovery was carried out accidentally by Diocleciano Silva, an experienced recreational sailor, who was searching for fishing banks in the region when he came across a structure with abnormal features not found in nature, such as straight lines. Since the discovery in April of 2013, Mr. Silva debated whether he should notify the authorities of a finding, that once confirmed, could have significant historical repercussions. The coordinates have since been submitted to the Portuguese authorities for further investigation.
Upon closer inspection of the data, and as pointed out by Mr. Silva, the vertices of the pyramid are perfectly aligned with true north, like the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
The recent finding in Portuguese waters has not yet been confirmed official authorities, but further investigation by the navy and researchers may reveal details that challenge what is considered fact in today's geography and history textbooks.
