Has Google Ocean Stumbled Upon Atlantis The Lost City?

Google’s underwater exploration tool has identified a network of criss-crossing lines 620 ‎miles away from the coast of NW Africa, adjacent to the Canary Islands at the bottom of ‎the Atlantic Ocean. The rectangle shaped patch, approximately about the size of Wales, ‎was noticed by an aeronautical engineer who feels that it represents an aerial map of a ‎lost city. ‎The underwater image occurs at the co-ordinates of 31 15′15.53N 24 15′30.53W. ‎

Experts have opined that the unexplained grid could be one of the possible sites of the ‎legendary island Atlantis, made famous by Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher. Historians claim that the city sank beneath the ocean when the inhabitants of the ‎island made a vain attempt to capture Athens sometime around 9000 BC.

Dr Charles Orser, curator, at New York State University has reported that the discovery ‎was important and necessitated further inspection. Even as a geographical site, it might ‎have something to offer to warrant a closer inspection. Since the grid looked similar to ‎the design at Buckinghamshire town, Bernie Bamford, 38, of Chester who discovered the ‎grid, is of the opinion that the grid must be a manual effort.

Google Ocean, is an extension of Google Earth, and web users can virtually explore the ‎ocean depths capturing thousands of images of underwater scenario. Similar sites linked ‎to the lost kingdom have been found near the coast of Cyprus and also in southern Spain.‎
