We have found Atlantis!

A regular grid pattern, the size of Wales, is present in the mid Atlantic. Just where Plato professed it was! :cool:

The Sun never lies so I believe it.

Here is the Google Map link for those that want to take a peek themselves.

Sonar anomalies I would wager.

It's a hoax. Atlantis is in the Pegasus galaxy.

I didn't know Plato used Google Earth.

From Wiki:

From Google Ocean

It was reported in the UK press on 20 February 2009 that a grid-like image could be seen 620 miles of the coast of Africa, near the Canary islands, at a depth of 3.5 miles (5,633 m) on Google Ocean at [show location on an interactive map] 31°15′15″N 24°15′30″W / 31.25417°N 24.25833°W / 31.25417; -24.25833. There was speculation that this could be the location of Atlantis;[35] however, a Google spokeswoman said:

"what users are seeing is an artefact of the data collection process.… Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data(...)The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data. The fact that there are blank spots between each of these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world's oceans."[36]

Bernie, 38, of Chester, said: “It looks like an aerial map of Milton Keynes. It must be man-made.”

He said it, so it must be true.

An ancient city the size of wales? Don't think so. Even Rome was not a significant fraction of that size.

3.5 miles under the sea? - No geological upheaval could cause that in only a few thousand years.

It is clearly a space alien spy base tucked safely away from our prying eyes.

Gilly · 20 Feb 2009 at 17:38

I'm wholeheartedly on board with Bernie.
