Rumors are widely spread over net that latest Google Earth software has found the mythical sunken city of Atlantis off the coast of Africa. However, Google is officially contradicting all this. Either this is a fact, or Google don’t want to disclose the facts. As I always love to discuss new and nice spicy conspiracy theories, I am just to go with the latter.

Actually, a British aeronautical engineer was having fun with the latest Google Earth 5.0 that provides undersea information. He found sort of funny things off the coast of Africa, approximately 600 miles towards west of the Canary Islands, that appeared like in a shape of a street grid. As stated by the United Kingdom’s Press Association, the structure of streets is equivalent to the size of Wales.

Atlantis remained a legendary island city first discussed by Plato, supposed to be a hard-core naval power present someplace near North Africa that vanished when it slid down into the ocean. See global warming was an issue that time also. Anyhow, majority of people believe that it’s a Plato’s creation, similar to the story crafted by few boys in Georgia about shooting Bigfoot, but people always believe it.

So this man is trawling the sea bottom with Google Earth and instantly declare his finding. It resembles The Telegraph published the story first, mentioning the exact coordinates – 31 15′15.53N, 24 15′30.53W.

In the recent past, Google’s mapping products have exposed almost each thing happening in the world ranging from a creepy fellow walking around with a sniper rifle to the U.S. drones operating in Pakistan.

“It’s fact that lot of astonishing findings have been made in Google Earth, like a pristine forest present in Mozambique (home to previously unknown species and the remains of an historical Roman villa,” a news from Google read.

 

Info about Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) is usually gained through boats using sonar to measure the sea floor. The lines manifest the path of the boat as it collects the data.”

Another news tells, that pendulum map on last week’s “Lost” was wonderful.
