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.
Bernie Bamford, 38, of Chester who spotted the “city”, compared it to the plan of Milton Keynes, the Buckinghamshire town built on a grid design. “It must be man made,” he said.
Uh, here’s Google’s response to the discovery.
Atlantis, that’s nothing. I found Waldo.
What won’t Google do to get people to use their new services?!?
Atlantis or not Atlantis, this things more like an undersea research facility. Whats the best way to hide yourself from Satellites? Under the sea, you have a less chance of getting detected and if you do get detected, you can count of corporations like Google to create a fake story and bury the whole thing out.
Why not just send an RPS and see?
Google is claiming its a “mapping error” caused by the boats.

I find that hard to believe, sound more like someone in the DoD got to google to help them build the cover story.
I don’t believe Google’s excuse. It’s a very large search. Wouldn’t they run out of gas? Even if I’m wrong there and they wouldn’t run out, would the impressions really be left 3 1/2 feet down by a boat? I don’t believe it’s a natural occurance, either. Currents wind at some point, and these lines are way too straight.
I believe human civilization has been up and down in periodic cycles many many times over the course of 5 billion years. There are quite a number of artifacts around the world that cannot be explained or duplicated by today’s technology.
As usual, the people who don’t beieve that this is anything other that survey lines from ships mapping an area use ridicule to denigrate those people who think it may be something else. It’s okay to be skeptical but not to use it as a club against people who have a different view.
Keep an open mind!
