article published on 23 February, 2009
Princeton defines the mythical city of Atlantis as "according to legend, an island in the Atlantic Ocean that Plato said was swallowed by an earthquake."
The Internet flared with rumors this weekend however that the fabled city had been found using the updated version of the satellite mapping software Google Earth.
A British aeronautical engineer fiddling with the updated 5.0 software ... [ read the full article ]

Does Google think that people are stupid? A sonar search does not leave ANY marks on the surface of the DEEP ocean! What is Google trying to hide and WHO is paying them to do so!

So we are to believe that the catastrophe that befell mythical Atlantis left an intact area the size of Wales where the grid is still perfect- 90degree angles -after being submerged for at least 2500 years? The whole area just slowly sank and kept it shape. Yeah right. And I have invented a diet pill that requires no exercise or reduced caloric intake to loose weight! $19.99 +s/h a month, forever. But wait you get the free universal remote for just s/h a $400 value so you never have to get up again. Amazing!
Edit: And everything I was taught or read about Atlantis was that it had concentric circular canals with grand entrance canal.

ffs.. more retard posting.. I'm in the bikini bottom camp..
READ the damn article retards.. this area is THE SIZE OF WALES..
That would make this the largest city ever on earth.. and very few streets because on that scale the lines are miles wide.. very f---in wide streets don't you think.. or was atlantis the home of giants?
Data collection artifact.. sounds about right.. the ship went up and down with the tides perhaps.. on a scale of one pixel is about 2 miles on that image then it's no achievement at all to make a "perfect right angle" turn.. you do a run.. turn your gps on.. turn around and make another run back a short distance away... that's how mapping works, not some random wandering around.
hey.. offtopic.. would bikini atoll be a nipple?

varnull I find you insulting
as far as streets I never said that and don't believe they are streets
but wasn't atlantis suppose to full of canals? wouldn't they be wider if used for shipping ??
I'm not saying this is the case and I'm not saying your wrong you may well be right.
but do you have to insult us for asking or kidding around??
I don't like being called a retard.....hell even retards don't like being called retards........huh go figure

HUH you find the fact that I think right angles at 90 degrees are odd retarded or the fact that I thought maybe it should be looked into retarded[ would sure answer questions all around]
or the fact that if just if this was some thing Government might hide it retarded?
well son I've spent a few years at sea and I can insult dumb ass stupid f***** like you as easy as you can call other people names ya know those of you who resort to name calling are usually showing your real inteligence or in your case lack of inteligence!!

Even if it isn't Atlantis, it is definitely something. Plus if the boats are leaving these trails everywhere they go picking up this information, then why are these lines located centrally right there? Why aren't they everywhere over the ocean floor? Boats have gone all over the ocean taking this information, if this is the case, then there should be way more lines all over the ocean floor.

To "auwolf", No it is NOT sarcasm. To "1samurai1", You are right, why aren't these lines more common all over the Ocean bottom? Google was just too quick to deny this and it makes you wonder why. There are a few similar "lined" areas to the east of the same site together with some strange structure-like mounds rising out of the ocean floor. Those lines are indeed large so they could be channels, even though they would be large ones.
People that immediately deny things like these or try to fit a "rational" explanation to everything are just narrow-minded and are happy living in their perfectly rational little world... God forbid extra-terrestrials are real 'cause they would suffer a heart attack.

I find it odd to think the powers that be wouldn't hide something like this, I mean well if tomorrow Goverment found out a large meteor was gonna hit our planet do you think they would hide it ?? hell yes they would!! they would want all of us going on doing the jobs to make it possible to save the few they could save [and that would be a short list most of us aren't on]and they would save them selves and a few smart folks and they would let all the rest of us die with out knowing what hit us
now while lines on the ocean floor are not the end of the world [ I hope] I must admit size wise if real lines and not sonar traces then either something smarter and more powerful than us made them [that would be worth hiding expecialy if they know more about what made these lines than we know] or if made by man then it had to of sank after being made since we don't work well in water over waist deep
I know I just figured it out.............thats where whales F*** after all they gotta hold the females against something to screw and that would make a mess of the ocean floor............just don't understand the turns........maybe they got a cramp ...LOL

I don't recall varnull pointing you out as a retard. She never mentioned you. You made one post before her post. Did you feel somewhat guilty? Do you actually believe if this anomaly is really Atlantis, that anyone could keep it a secret. This one is as bad as the "mask on Mars" pix made by ancient Martians. Give me a break. Varnull pretty much debunked the whole affair.
@varnull
It would be an inverted nipple! LOL And I was old enough to remember the B&W TV pictures on the news when they blew the atoll up. And the good color film in the theater newsreels. You can probably find the hole in the ocean floor on google earth. There was a show recently on the contamination they didn't find a lot of. scary.

The article say's the lines are not really there, they were artifacts that showed up in the data collection. Or, they could be deep channels caused by Aliens dredge mining the ocean floor for exotic lithium crystals..."I need more power! Snarfuk"

C'mon people think clearly here. It's probably just Aqua Man doing laps.

Look as long as the scientific establishment sanctifies its'credentials,There will be no discovery of anything. Why because if the scientist are wrong,they lose there expert status(read:ability to make a living). This implies that some one or thing is in charge. That would make some people call me a whacko. Name calling is easy,so go ahead live in your paradigm. Here is a thought,trying thinking for yourself,you might be wrong or ??

Care should be taken though. I hear the gases are lethal.
