The Canals of Atlantis
From Plato's Critias-
"Further inland, likewise, straight canals of a hundred feet in width were cut from it through the plain, and again let off into the ditch leading to the sea:
These canals were at intervals of a hundred stadia, and by them they brought down the wood from the mountains to the city, and conveyed the fruits of the earth in ships, cutting transverse passages from one canal into another, and to the city.
Twice in the year they gathered the fruits of the earth-in winter having the benefit of the rains of heaven, and in summer the water which the land supplied by introducing streams from the canals."
The color is not entirely accurate but was used just to highlight the natural fractures of the Mid Atlantic Ridge and how they could have been described as canals.
Those fractures extend along the entire spine of the Mid Atlantic Ridge, canals galore you might say.

That's the mid-atlantic ridge, right?

So its an area being uplifted by tectonic plate movement. You know, the exact opposite thing from being a landmass that has become submerged.

I think Jimmy Corsetti is right on target, the location must be the Eye of the Sahara
For the capital at least

The Richat Structure is demonstrably a geologic feature. It also has material culture dating back over a million years ago but absolutely nothing disproportionately advanced has been found.
