Atlantis found by Google Earth? No way!

2009-02-20T18:34:09Z

According to The Sun, aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford was browsing through Google Ocean when he came upon this formation showing a perfect rectangle the size of Wales lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down. A series of criss-crossing lines that looks like a large city enclosed by the a boundary appears in Google Earth. I launched Google Earth myself to see, entered in the coordinates (N31.381 W24.375) and sure enough, there it is.

Now, it could simply be a series of seams in the topographic scans where areas are being tiled together along with missing scan data that has to be interpolated. However, according to The Sun article, Google responded as follows:

Google today claimed the criss-crossing lines were sonar data collected as boats mapped the ocean floor.

But the internet giant said "blank spots" within the lines could not be explained.

So has Atlantis finally been found? Didn't Edgar Cayce, the "American Prophet" say that Atlantis would be discovered soon after the millenium? Anyone got a bathysphere I can borrow? I'll get to the bottom of this.

There's a blog that has a few other underwater sites listed as well right here - http://www.rantnation.com/wp/?p=286

Impossible! That pattern is approximately 160km x 120km, almost 20,000 km2 or about 26 times the area of New York City. Far, far too large to be an antique city. It’s has to be something else than Atlantis.

Instead of Atlantis how about the creation of a foreign civilization that visited the Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago :)... Now that would be an interesting thought ... trying to decipher the meaning of those markings!

Atlantis discovered long ago!

Global catastrophic plate tectonics 12,500± years’ ego could change isostatic balance between main platforms and slabs. East coastal zone of Northern America and west costal zone of Africa have been sunken. Ten island of Atlantis: Huge Poseidia, two small islands (Pluto, Ammon [mu]) and seven smaller Persephone's islands had been sunken into the ocean.
