<\/p>\nA LOST piece of land that broke off and disappeared to the bottom of the ocean 155 million years ago has been located.<\/p>\n
The 3,000-mile wide land named \u201cArgoland\u201d is believed to have detached off of Australia and was found deep in the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
It is said to have broken off during the continental drifts that occurred during the Jurassic period.<\/p>\n
The findings were made by Geologists Eldert Advokaat and Douwe van Hinsbergen of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and published in the Gondwana Research, per a release.<\/p>\n
The geologists noted that Argoland was extremely hard to find.<\/p>\n
They believe that it broke off from Australia and then drifted toward Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
It was also impossible to prove it existed until now.<\/p>\n
The geologists believe fragments of the land started to break off 300 million years ago and they have been trying to piece them together over the past few years.<\/p>\n
However, there is also a void area off of Australia called the Argo Abyssal Plain which kept geologists motivated that something must exist.<\/p>\n
When they found the 3,000-mile-wide missing piece of land, they were finally able to piece together enough evidence to prove it was real.<\/p>\n
