Atlantis on Google Earth

Cool, thanks for the image. I measured the inside of the backwards 'L' and it measured 8 miles!. As another member mentioned, I will keep my eye on this for a few days to see if it is consistent.

Edit to add: Far side of the 'L' is 11miles.

The thing you have to remember about GE is that its source data is not really THAT up-to-date especially its seabed topography data(lots of which is decades old taken with what would be considered highly antiquated equipment). With that in mind, try viewing the area in question without the 'water surface' on and I think you'll find you are looking at scan artifacts from the GE mapping process.

OMG Mojo Jojo has spoken, I will check your suggestions brother.

Actually, Maegnas beat me to the punch. lol

don't look at the dark shapes, look hard at the center of the picture. you will see perfectly symmetrical shapes forming what look to be like a maze.

Little tip for google earth users looking at things close up......


Turn off - water surface - layer in the view tab


You won't see so many pixels glitches for starters, then you'll see there's nothing there.

If you compare the noise captured in the following version with the originals you can clearly see the same "symmetrical" patterns...




...which can additionally be seen throughout the area and beyond. It looks to be an artifact in the processing of the data.

Excuse my 'noobness', but I can I take it that youve all seen this particular area in GE Lat 32.082318°, Lon -24.000396° ?

At first I took most of the straight lines etc to be trenches for cables etc, but struggled to understand the random grid pattern, especially when you consider the size. It appears of limited strategic value as a SOSUS net, but Im happy to hear what else it could be.

Due to circumstances I spen a bit of time wandering the earth vie GE and I have to say, its one of the few things I would gladly pay to use if need be.

There do seem to be some changes now and again, the water layer provides very little of value, as I remember it, the detail of subsea features were much better detailed previously. Off the cost of Scotland there used to be the highly visible craters where old ordnance was destroyed, a while back some items were washed ashore and had to be disposed of, shortly after we lost that detail in Google Earth.

Anyone else lost artifacts in GE?

Yes I see the shapes. Just don't see the remains of a civilization.

This could be anything. Boulders, coral reefs, vegetation. Debris.

You have a very optimistic and creative imagination, though.

if anything it could be an underwater city

but not atlantis. too far away from greece. as i recall the only mention of the city talks of their plans to invade athens. and atlantis is a greek name.

Hmm, you are probably right. The reason I looked for it is because of a presentation I saw containing the location of Atlantis. I think it was an ancient artifact lecture. I will try and find it.

Thank you, I take that as a compliment

I thought it was common knowledge that charles hapgood assited indiana jones finding atlantis back in 1992.



cheers

there are shapes, but as others have commented I agree that these are either glitches or somehow painted in. strange how the centre area is free from waves, not normal to me. but then again it could be something.

For those of you seriously having trouble seeing, I've taken Image #2 from the op, and made a contrast version so the structures can be EASILY seen.

EDIT

And here is Picture 3 in high contrast

For all those that say they cannot see anything but sea, this is for you.

This is what i can see.

Is it ruins? An undersea city?

Personally, i don't know, but i think it might be scanning artefacts..

I've cleaned up noise, masked off what i can see, and changed the colour.

Here you go;

Heh! Beat me to it!

Quick question if i may, how the hell do you get the scroll bars when embedding an image?

Everytime i paste an image, half is always cut off, and no bars?

Wow, pass me another slice of that crow!

The above two photographs are sooo much clearer.

This really does look man-made.

Good catch.

I've seen several ancient artefact docu's too, and the ancient maps (world maps, 17,000 years old), depict Atlantis as a continent between Africa and America, smack bang where the Azores island chain are.

This lies right on the Atlantic fault line, and is choc full of volcano's.

Perhaps the fault shifted and spewed magma that covered most of the continent, apart from the very tops of the mountains, which are now the Azores?

Who knows eh.
