Lost continent the size of Greenland has been hiding beneath Europe for 140million years, new maps reveal. Lemuria (/ l ɪ ˈ m j ʊər i ə /), or Limuria, is a hypothetical lost land located in either the Indian or the Pacific Ocean, from a now-discredited 19th-century scientific theory.

And researchers have created the most detailed reconstruction of it yet.
The land mass, now called Greater Adria, split from supercontinent Gondwana 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period—but was forced into the Earth's mantle 140 million years later, when it New Continent Found Under the Sea in Europe. Plate tectonics are the theory behind how oceans and continents form, and for other parts of the Earth, that theory suggests that the plates don't deform when they move alongside each other in areas with large fault lines. The idea was then adopted by the occultists of the time and consequently has been incorporated into pop culture. “Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.”Researching the evolution of mountain ranges can show the evolution of continents.“Most mountain chains that we investigated originated from a single continent that separated from North Africa more than 200 million years ago,” said van Hinsbergen.“The only remaining part of this continent is a strip that runs from Turin via the Adriatic Sea to the heel of the boot that forms Italy.”This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.In the Mediterranean region, geologists have a different understanding of plate tectonics. The leftover piece, which was covered in lava, is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean.And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific. Forget the legendary lost continent of Atlantis. There you can follow several large fault lines across a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres.”In the case of Greater Adria, most of it was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments. The long-lost continent of Greater Adria, which broke off from Northern Africa about 240 million years ago and began slipping beneath southern Europe about 100 million years ago. "This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found.In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago.
