Google Ocean: Has Atlantis been found off Africa?

Has Atlantis been found off Africa?

Original Article

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.

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.

Oh bugger sorry mate, not really one of my areas of interest and a quick search didn't find me anything exactly a shame. I only posted it because I saw this article was tively fresh and may well be of interest to some around here.

I apologise for any nuisance it may be.

Any links so that I can point people away from here? or a mod please delete.
