| Google Ocean: Has Atlantis been found off Africa? |
| 2011-02-10 |
| A "grid of streets" on the seabed at one of the proposed locations of the lost city of Atlantis has been spotted on Google Ocean. |

| #5 The problem with the Atlantis theory as relates to this pattern on the sea floor is that the "city" would have to cover hundreds of square miles with city blocks 20 miles long. My guess is that it is something else. Sonophone array maybe or the result of some research project at some point in the past or trawlers dragging bottom. Is that location a known anchorage for ships? Those squares are 20 miles long. Seems a bit much for a city block. |

| #4 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. Spaceport which sank flush to the bottom of the ocean perfectly square with no erosion in 11,000 years? Those Athenians were bad-ass to fight them off. Eagerly awaiting the H-Channel story and movie staring T. Cruise. "You can be my mer-man anytime Foogledom-Qxty" "Fangle-dum, you can be mine" (thanks for the follow-up Barbara) |

| #2 Not sure if this is the same one, but we had one of these 'discoveries' before that turned out to be artifacts of the sonar scanning process. |
