There's a series of underground structures in the Bahamas that bears a striking resemblance to the fabled Atlantis. And while these concretions aren't the remnants of a lost city, we do know that studying how they formed can give us insights into ocean currents, climate change, and could even give us insights into making cleaner, greener concrete. Thanks to The Sloan Foundation for their support in making this video.
