Sunken worlds under the Pacific? Scientists are BAFFLED by massive structures found deep beneath the ocean that 'shouldn't exist'

From Atlantis to El Dorado and Avalon, legend tells us that Earth is dotted with lost lands that once met a dramatic downfall.
While these are commonly considered inventive myths, a new study reveals evidence for 'a lost world' beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Scientists at ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have found massive structures deep beneath the Pacific waters that 'shouldn't exist'. This mystery material – which is making seismic waves in the region behave strangely – could be evidence of a lost land from hundreds of millions of years ago.
According to current scientific theories, the anomalous material in the lower mantle, about 600 miles (1,000km) beneath the water, 'should not be found' there.
Described as a 'major mystery', the findings challenge 'our current understanding of how the Earth works', according to researchers.
'Determining Earth's structure is paramount to unravel its interior dynamics,' say the team in their paper, published in Scientific Reports.
'These findings suggest more diverse origins for these anomalies in Earth's lower mantle.'
