Atlantis found?

Latest news has it that Atlantis may have finally been found lying on the ocean bed of the Atlantic, somewhere off the Canary Islands. Or at least that is what Google Ocean (an extension of Google Earth) purported to show in this photograph below. The image is that of a large square grid that is about the size of Wales.

According to legend, Atlantis was an ancient civilization of great splendor that vanished under the ocean many thousands of years ago.  The site of the discovery lies some 620 miles off the West Coast of Africa, near the Canary Islands. The place is also near an area that Plato suggested as the site for Atlantis, in 350 BC.

The grid-like structure was spotted by aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford as he was looking at Google Ocean. “It must be man-made,” he believes.

Google themselves think that the lines are probably sonar data collected during the mapping of the ocean floor by boats, but cannot explain the blank spots within the lines themselves.

So is this Atlantis? The answer is still out there, 3 miles at the ocean’s bottom.
