Atlantis: Man Browsing Google Ocean May Have Found Lost City
THIS is the amazing image which could show the fabled sunken city of Atlantis.
It shows a perfect rectangle the size of Wales lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down.
A host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary.
They seem too vast and organised to be caused naturally.
And last night the possibility of an extraordinary discovery had oceanographers and geophysicists captivated.
Sunken … artist’s impression of lost metropolis
The site lies 620 miles off the west coast of Africa near the Canary Islands — a location for Atlantis seemingly suggested by the ancient philosopher Plato.
He believed it was an island civilisation sunk by an earthquake and floods around 9,700BC — nearly 12,000 years ago.
The “grid†showed up on Google Ocean, a Google Earth extension that uses a combination of satellite images and marine surveys.
Last night Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University — and one of the world’s leading authorities on Atlantis — called it “fascinatingâ€.
He said: “The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato. Even if it turns out to be geographical, this definitely deserves a closer look.â€
Sea here … location of grid on Google Ocean
The legend of Atlantis has captured the imagination of scholars for centuries.
And in the 1970s it spawned a hit TV series, Man From Atlantis, in which Patrick Duffy played a webbed hero who could live underwater.
Situated in an area called the Madeira Abyssal Plane, the grid was spotted by aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford as he browsed through Google Ocean.
Bernie, 38, of Chester, said: “It looks like an aerial map of Milton Keynes. It must be man-made.â€

Cool
Lets have Mr. ManBearPig investigate. He’ll be “missed” when he decides, involuntarily to stay there for the rest of his life (until he runs out of air)
Wow global warming kicked the shit out of atlantis 12,000
years ago.
See, if there is such a thing as man-made global warming, we will be able to escavate Atlantis in a few hundred years.
Many believe that Santorini Island in Greece is Atlantis.
My “New Ager” sister & brother-in-law went there to meditate & try “to connect” with the long gone Atlantians.

PS - now that Sis & b.i.l.’s “financial Ox” is being gored by the socialists in D.C. they’re both moving back to the conservatism that they pretty much abandoned in the 1980’s.
interesting, got to find money for its bailout
Yep, it’s there for sure, at
31deg:22min:7.19sec North
24deg:27min:28sec West
But, moving toward Casablanca
at 31deg:3min:48sec North/ 19deg:14min:6.8sec West
there is another area of symetrical markings on the ocean floor.
And, it ain’t over yet,
at 31deg:39min:4.05sec North
13deg:47min:50sec West
I see another intriguing area. This one has a perfect conical formation that may be a volcano,or something else.
Very interesting find.
global warming, if its true, melts the ice caps and floods the world, so this would make excavation more difficult, dumbass
hahah you sister must be an idiot, meditating to connect with a city lol. how do these new agers become so retarded, no disrespect to your sis
Satellites cannot see ocean floor, or seabed. All underwater topography is created by conducting marine surveys with sound wave based analysis. I think this seems “man made” because it could be mishandling of scanner data. Sea vessels could have traveled these lines while producing erroneous data.
Besides, the whole grid is 160 kilometers in diameter. “Streets” are maybe 4 km wide, and look more like trenches.
HOAX HOAX ALERT
I also saw a giant face on the surface of mars!

Atlantis Found?…
Google Ocean has made an intriguing find. It seems to have found the remnants of a great city on the ocean floor in the location that legend claims Atlantis once thrived. Read about it below and see the photos and a video.
Atlantis?
The Greek philosop…
A city the size of Wales????? I don’t think so.
I saw Jesus in my Apple Jacks this morning….
I think Ill google the fountain of youth. or maybe my childhood.
Plato must be laughing his ass off in the afterlife….a city he created in a story is STILL thought to be real thousands of years after his death.
WOOHOO! Hot mermaid sex for everybody!
How do you even do it with a mermaid, where is a mermaids “equipment” ?
I was riding my boat in the area; I cold havd sworn I heard hunka hunka burning love.
Everyone know when mermaids come ashore, their tail turns to legs but they’re all wet, naked & horned-up!
turn your head sideways left….looks like the imprint of a coal shovel…..
Mikko from Finland is right, unless they’ve retrofitted the sattelites w/polarized lenses, then where are all the fish??…Help!!! somebody call Ted Danson, tell him the oceans just died….
Not so fast there, Mikko. Orbital mapping satellites employ the most advanced mapping technology available. These satellites utilise NGDC/MGG altimetry (link to an image is posted below). On board computers have databases of information generated by oceanic exploration, sonar mapping, and oceanographic studies in how the sea floor topography effects surface currents, plus geophysical data on plate techtonics, submarine seismic data, and a host of other data. The computers access all these data bases in an effort to verify accuracy, confirm geological activity, and changes in sea floor topography. Google earth, in spite of what anyone thinks of google, has contracted to various institutions conducting this research in its effort to provide users with more underwater fun. See Google Earth 5.0
