- texburgle, on 02/20/2009, -10/+966Definitely covering this up. Google actually headquarters out of Atlantis.
- samanathon, on 02/20/2009, -2/+625Link in Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q& ...
- MasterTroll, on 02/20/2009, -8/+362"Google is officially denying widespread Internet rumors that its Google Earth software located the mythical sunken city of Atlantis off the coast of Africa."
Yeah, because that sounds ***** retarded - DirtyVicar, on 02/20/2009, -7/+353Tin foil crowd: Google Earth detected a street pattern in the Atlantic!
Skeptic: Right, but the pattern is the size of Wales.
(awkward pause)
Tin foil crowd: The cars must have been bigger than skyscrapers! - poonaka, on 02/20/2009, -16/+279"In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data."
So the boat made sharp 90 degree turns and went over the same area over and over again? - Balath, on 02/20/2009, -4/+241Ancient ruins discovered on the ocean floor? A cover-up, conspiracy theories, and and British aeronautical engineer?
The Great Old Ones are rising, mark my words. - gttim, on 02/20/2009, -3/+184Have you ever heard of crop circles? Those are fish squares! It is an elaborate hoax! Don't be fooled!
Calling Dirk Pitt! - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -1/+170Uhm, have you seen the size of that thing, here is a size comparison
http://i40.tinypic.com/50sfnk.jpg - dobry, on 02/20/2009, -0/+165Yeah, I know. It's like building a major city on the edge of a subduction zone in California or something.
/s - Thinker10, on 02/20/2009, -1/+162Now how am I supposed to know what Poseidon's palace looks like?
- diceau, on 02/20/2009, -2/+160Dude, those lines are not sharp and they are HUGE. Compare them to the continent.
- aechase, on 02/20/2009, -1/+148I don't know why, but British people love reporting area with Wales as the unit.
- theberlindoctor, on 02/20/2009, -8/+143Oh crap, that's where I put it.
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -0/+125its a free version.
self contained open office breathing apparatus. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -1/+121I want street view.
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -12/+130Outer... Heaven?!
- adml_shake, on 02/20/2009, -7/+122What complete crap. Everyone knows that Atlantis WAS in the Pegasus Galaxy, but is now outside of San Francisco cloaked.
- PGPirate, on 02/20/2009, -12/+126Google accidently Atlantis
- Elsewhere42, on 02/20/2009, -2/+107I thought Atlantis was supposed to have the shape of three concentric rings, not a rectangle.
- starscream45, on 02/20/2009, -9/+1121. Find Atlantis
2. Hide Atlantis
3. ????
4. Profit
Seriously, it's weird but why would Google hide the fact that they found Atlantis or just some underwater ruins at least? - Shakuras, on 02/20/2009, -5/+106Yes
- kd420, on 02/20/2009, -3/+95*scuba
- grungefan, on 02/20/2009, -0/+75Google already knows the cure for cancer, we just have to know how to ask it the right question.
- Bhatch514, on 02/20/2009, -4/+77Logically makes more sence that Atlantis was the Minoan Capital city located in modern day Satorini Greece. Which was destroyed by a volcano and the whole city fell into the sea. Hence the legend that the advanced (They had plumbing!) civilization sank into the sea.

- holzp, on 02/20/2009, -0/+65That's what she said.
- skidork, on 02/20/2009, -1/+65And I'm Imp! Shall we mate?
- 2of8, on 02/20/2009, -3/+66American people love comparing things to football fields. For the better part of my life I've never seen one of these football fields, so it was really annoying :P
- keegangrayson, on 02/20/2009, -1/+63I thought there would have been Quidditch fields
- Po0py, on 02/20/2009, -3/+60If that is the size of Wales then those are some big arse streets.
- rynTAU, on 02/20/2009, -5/+58you would think that for a culture so advanced they would have built on higher ground..
- EzraSchwartz, on 02/20/2009, -3/+55Nice. The scale looks way off for those to be roads. Check out the grid, then move over to some land and see how far you need to zoom in before you can see any real roads. Google's explanation seems a little fishy though. I wonder what it really is.
- Nauree, on 02/20/2009, -4/+56Oh...so we dont have to use the Stargate then? Dang it...
- NJank, on 02/20/2009, -1/+51false. it's just one of their server farms. undersea makes for good overclocking.
- shinythings, on 02/20/2009, -17/+67That's it! I am buying some scooba gear. Who's with me?
- velocity92c, on 02/20/2009, -5/+53In all seriousness, would it surprise anyone if Google found a cure for cancer?
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -2/+50Only problem with this being Atlantis: Atlantis was supposed to be a series of rings. http://www.librarising.com/cosmology/images/atlant ...
Plato described the shape of the land even better than the directions of how to find it, so if you consider the location accurate, then the description must be as well. Too bad he was just repeating a story he was told, he never claimed to be there. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -0/+46If that area is the size of Wales, then those are some pretty long streets. And wide.
- Forke, on 02/20/2009, -7/+52No it didn't
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -1/+45Like a culture that pioneered most modern technology dropping a major city between 2 huge rivers and building some levies to keep the water out...
- MaskedSlacker, on 02/20/2009, -1/+45Take your reason and leave this place. You are not welcome here.
- jhop, on 02/20/2009, -2/+46It's called GPS. Just look at any vessel's transatlantic path - straight lines between waypoints.
That said, I'm not 100% sure the explanation is correct. Some of the lines actually follow the contour of the "hills", but that could be due to sonar based routing. - theberlindoctor, on 02/20/2009, -4/+48OH GOD I CAN SEE FOREVER!
http://raincoaster.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/fam ... - leetninja, on 02/20/2009, -7/+50since you cant spell scuba ... i am definitely NOT with you ...
- CaptCarrot, on 02/20/2009, -0/+42Fire up the Google Sub!
- GuitarGod181, on 02/20/2009, -23/+64It honestly doesn't look like much. If that is Atlantis, color me disappointed.
- ghall, on 02/20/2009, -0/+40The whole Atlantis?
- adamdigg, on 02/20/2009, -0/+37The boat would obvously travel in a zigzag pattern, scanning a wide rectangular strip

When the edges of the strips don't match up exactly, you see a linear artifact. Or there may be distortion at the edges of the scanned strip, similar to vignetting at the edges of a photo. Probably to avoid gaps, they go over the same area twice, travelling North/South and then East/West. - etruscan, on 02/20/2009, -2/+38The Ancients would never have made it this easy for the Wraith to find.
