It's a hoax, guys... or an outright lie to get money from people.
UNESCO isn't funding any search for Atlantis. You can verify this for yourself by going to their site:
www.unesco.org...
Yes, they do have a document about "WORLD HERITAGE CONVENTION TENTATIVE LIST FOR REPUBLIC OF ATLANTIS " but if you read the document, you see it's
a sample filled-out form to show nations how to apply for funding for a restoration project based on cultural importance. It's quite obviously
fiction.
They do have a ship called Atlantis that's mentioned frequently but it's not looking for the lost city of Atlantis.
