Plot Synopsis

HUNTING ATLANTIS is a one-hour docuseries that follows expert Stel Pavlou and volcanologist Jess Phoenix, as they embark on a quest to solve the greatest archaeological mystery of all time: the rediscovery of Atlantis. Unearthing sunken cities, archaic artifacts, and geological catastrophes, Stel is the author of the groundbreaking new theory on the date for Atlantis' destruction near the beginning of the fifth millennium BCE. Jess' expertise is in volcanic hazards and her work has taken her to six continents, where she has organized and led over 25 scientific research expeditions. Together, they follow clues and uncover evidence pointing to the fall of the legendary lost city. Throughout the season, Stel and Jess' expedition leads them to destinations around the globe, including the Black Sea where they investigate a 7000-year-old skeleton buried in gold treasure, a mysterious Greek island where an advanced ancient civilization built a massive marble pyramid and unexplored archeological sites along the Adriatic coast of Croatia where underwater relics from an ancient bridge system lead them to an age-old legend of a lost city and into a massive sinkhole that could swallow a city whole.
