Atlantropa, a plan to drain the Mediterranean
Build a dam in Gibraltar and close the Mediterranean. It's as simple as that. Nature would do the rest. Evaporation would cause the water level to drop by 1.65 metres a year and, when it reached 200 metres, the two continents would be merged, forming a new territory:
Atlantropa. In 1928, the German architect Herman Sörgel designed this project, which also included regulating the water by means of various dams that would provide large amounts of energy at low cost.
I was unaware of this plan, which was taken quite seriously by the Nazis. I can't imagine this barbarity making such incredible islands as Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza, Spanish jewels, disappear.
Human stupidity knows no bounds. There is no room for one more fool on this planet !
Ibiza and me ❤️

Every day, every second, Europe and Africa - the Eurasian and African plates in geological terms - are moving closer together in a constant process that results in an approximation of four or five millimetres a year between the continents. Gibraltar is getting closer and closer to Morocco, but honestly it leaves me very calm to know that I am not going to see it.

The Nature did it. During the Late Miocene (Messinian), about 6 million years ago, Africa and Europe were connected.
Zanclean flood took place when by some reason, the plug at the Strait of Gibraltar disappeared, and tons of atlantic water came into the Mediterranean Basin.
