Sarmast showed a news conference Thursday colour slides of what he said were the ruins of the Atlantis acropolis, surrounded by the remains of a defensive wall that runs for three kilometres before turning a right angle and continuing for an equal distance.
Sarmast said he planned a more detailed expedition next year in which a $5 million US documentary film would be produced in association with the Total Media Group of Los Angeles.

Sarmast said he would be leaving Cyprus on Monday for the launch of the Greek version of his book Discovery of Atlantis: The Startling Case for the Island of Cyprus.
Sarmast now needs to raise at least $250,000 to launch a second expedition that will employ submarine technology capable of determining what, if anything, is underneath the sediment, of what he called a “table-top mountain”.
Sarmast responded that if any scientist came forward with a sample taken from the area he believes to be the Acropolis Hill of Atlantis city and proved their theories, he would “go away”.

Sarmast is equally hopeful that traces of the civilisation have survived, despite being buried under a mile of water.

Sarmast, who had been planning to launch his expedition during the summer, had recently been keeping a very low profile and was out of contact, as were his press team, giving rise to speculation that the expedition had been delayed, called off, or that funding may have run out.
