The article is clear quite clickbait for one. Delibrately trying to lure readers in with a sensationalized title. After that it presents one archeologist's opinion, who does not appear to be a highly regarded or credible archeologist at all, as fact. They present this as if proof has been found that the city of Atlantis has been factually located. Not only did Atlantis most likely not exist in reality, but if it did it would not be exposed. Finally, the evidence he uses to reach his conclusion is bonkers and makes massive sweeping claims with little evidence even if everything he said was true at face value (it isn't).
