How did you find Atlantis? - I Googled it.

Way Down, Beneath the Sea - Atlantis

Story in the Torygraph today on finding Atlantis on Google Earth:

The network of criss-cross lines is 620 miles off the coast of north west Africa near the Canary Islands on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

The perfect rectangle – which is around the size of Wales – was noticed on the search giant's underwater exploration tool by an aeronautical engineer who claims it looks like an "aerial map" of a city.

The underwater image can be found at the co-ordinates 31 15'15.53N 24 15'30.53W.

Last night Atlantis experts said that the unexplained grid is located at one of the possible sites of the legendary island, which was described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.

According to his account, the city sank beneath the ocean after its residents made a failed effort to conquer Athens around 9000 BC.

A hoax? Surely not, who would be so unseemly in this most perfect of digital worlds

...... questions are:

- why the pattern looks like a city grid but is the size of Wales.
- positioning is certainly suspiciously auspicious

One assumes satellite images of this would have been around for some time, so interesting that its not been spotted before or is it just another Conspiracy to Keep The Truth From Us

If I recall correctly, Atlantis was arrayed in a circular grid.

Except for that, I'd say it's 100% absolutely Atlantis
