Statue found in Spain backs López-Mirones' Atlantis theory
A bust unearthed in Alicante has reignited the debate over López-Mirones' Atlantis hypothesis. Roman history, or a forgotten civilization?

The Alicante find that challenges official history
The discovery of a bust on La Almadraba beach in Alicante has sparked a storm on the forum, where users question the "Roman Venus" label assigned by experts. While official archaeology rushes to date the piece to the High Empire, the debate centers on whether this is yet more evidence of a pre-existing Atlantic civilization, as López-Mirones' controversial hypothesis suggests.
Science or historiographical dogma?
The suspicion in the thread is clear: official historiography suffers from selective myopia. Forum users complain that any trace of cultural complexity found on the Iberian Peninsula is automatically classified as Greek or Roman to avoid acknowledging an indigenous root. For many, the location of the find — an almadraba (a traditional tuna-fishing site) — is the key: a reminder that Atlantic culture, tied to tuna fishing, may have been the true engine of civilization, eclipsed by the East-to-West narrative that official history imposes.
The battle over Spain's past
Skepticism is total. Users compare the case with the Neptune statue found in Cantabria, pointing out that the lack of precise dating does not stop academics from imposing a narrative that fits the established dogma. While some see this as confirmation of an erased history, others dismiss the theories as crankery, highlighting the rift between those seeking a historical identity of their own and those who consider the official account immovable. Is the statue a Roman remnant, or the missing link of a forgotten culture that academics would rather bury under concrete?
