Quick—fire up Google Earth on your PC, and find the following coordinates: 31 15'15.53N, 24 15'30.53W (hint: it's about 600 miles west of Morocco, deep in the Atlantic Ocean). Zoom in, and check out that rectangle on the ocean floor. Could it be … Atlantis?

That's what a squad of "Atlantic experts" are telling the Daily Telegraph, and indeed, the rough rectangle—complete with dozens of shaky grid marks carved into the ocean floor—is a surreal sight, at least to the untrained eye.

Apparently, the oddly shaped box marks "one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato," said New York State University historical archaeology curator Dr. Charles Orser (as reported by the Telegraph).

Amazing—so amazing, in fact, that the story touched off an online firestorm Friday morning, with the search term "Atlantis" ending up as a top trend on Twitter. So ... should we dispatch James Cameron and his team of IMAX-equipped submersibles to investigate?

Well, maybe not, says this party-pooping report from the Daily Mail.

Turns out the odd rectangle doesn't actually exist, according to a Google rep; instead, it's simply an "artifact of the data collection process," representing the criss-cross patterns of sonar-equipped boats scanning the ocean floor.

Uhhhh … "artifact of the data collection process"? Please. I smell a cover up!

No that is not Atlantis

MoniGram said:

it's Atlantis - the Lost City.

I still think it's in the Greek Isles.

well they've always speculated that it could be off the coast of Northern Africa or Europe as well.

I wish I had Google Earth to check it out.

This reminds me of when they found those Mayan temples in the forests using the imaging from satellites
( http://cosmiclog.msnbc.ms...27509.aspx ).
It's actually quite interesting.

For all we know, there could be something on the ocean floor, don't know if it's Atlantis
or not but it seems to be something.

Looks like the imprint of some sort of trap: crab trap etc.

Edit: Ah never mind. Actually read the article.

I didn't read the article 'til I read your comment just now.

i could see if the explanation they gave turned up elsewhere on their maps but if it's just isolated to that spot, then maybe they are just blowing smoke.

Aliens

kpowers said:

kpowers said:

That looks nothing like new orleans.

sammij said:

Milty said:

i mean unless she's silently commenting on how things are so quick to be covered up when talking about atlantis?

Milty said:

There's no cover up here, everything is normal
