Google denies it has found Atlantis

How big it is?
It was suppose to be as big as a continent...

Ive read that if you return in past lives, you finish by getting there..
sif..

Some sense of scale would have been tremendously useful to whomever made the original "discovery".

I mean, it would have been an awful large city grid at 120x160Km.

And surely *someone* would certainly have noticed something as large even without Google Earth?

Reminds me of the face on Mars...

If you lie about it at least do an effort.

Hmmm. A sonar that drags the bottom? And makes furrows .75 miles across? Wouldn't be a sonar for very long. The depth of water there is about 17.5 thousand feet - over three miles. The cable itself would have to be in the neighborhood of 5-10 miles long at least. If Howard Hughes was still alive, this would conjure up images of the Glomar Explorer. Can't believe that this was man-made from surface vessels.

I dunno; the sonar idea sounds alright at first, until you recognize the lines of the 'streets' turn at right angles. I'm just not sure a boat, however dextrous on the sea charts, could operate to such a tight degree of accuracy. -r

It looks about 140 km (87 miles) wide. Assuming I am reading Google Earth right . . . Anyways, I thought Atlantis was under the ice in Antarctica. Stargate has to be right!

Maybe it's a new Google new server farm!! 20 gig gmail!

Points to consider for an evaluation:
1) big dimensions (city?, citadel? other type of organization? with according population)
2) Mostly orderly grid suggests a non violent and gradual sink of terrain.
3) data collecting: about Google denial: for soft and hardware 90´ turns are difficult.
By now I suppose there probably are 2 or 3 subs gathering data.

It can't be Atlantis because, while it's location fits Plato's description, the setup does not fit Plato's description. Plato describes Atlantis as being setup in rings with a central island, then ring of water, then a ring for the city, then another ring of water, another ring of land, and a final ring of water. So this cannot be Atlantis as much as people want to believe it to be.

This is all a problem of scale, people.

It looks like it would work as a grid of streets until you realize that each "city block" is about the size of the entire island of Manhattan.
The thing is impractically, implausibly, hysterically enormous.

And yes, a ship could turn 90 degrees on a dime if that dime, considering the scale, is a mile or two in diameter.

And no, they are not saying that the sonar actually gouged real canyons into the ocean floor. They are saying that the "gouges" represent gaps or overlaps in the data from the sonar sweeps as they scanned the bottom.

Any geek who takes a close look at
google will notice the bright yellow-
orange streak running up and down
the spine. nuf said

The grid is far too straight for something that supposedly submerged.

It's probably just aliens or an undersea whale city, or maybe it's where all the Walmarts and Starbucks are built before being plopped down every 10 feet across the US.

lol looks like something you pop out with an etch a sketch.

53.761702,-16.072998

check this spot out in g-earth or g-maps, its bigger than Ireland.

Same type of furrows...

didnt know sonars were so destructive... i thought they were just strong enough to kill a whale at a distance of a 100 miles or so....

One day the governement will be uncovered, by me, of course, and everything will spill out.

As if this isnt Atlantis, i mean yeah if they had a more reasonable excuse. If it is, well, how is anyone going to get down there? Man can't go that far down without pressure slaughtering him. Plus he'd need an oxygen tank the size of Atlantis in the first place to stay under water long enough for even a glimpse, and a sub-marine would just break from the pressure, so that discounts just about anyway of getting down there to check it out.

Google suck. (Even though they are my MAIN search provider)

Located in the Pegasus galaxy not under antarctica, that was just an outpost. sheesh.

atlantis was departed to the pegasus galaxy from antarctica

1) Atlantis is supposed to be round not square

2) antartica was just an outpost

3) Atlantis is somewhere in the middle of the US... (its just cloaked)

isn't the original location of the Garden of Eden supposed to be somewhere in Iraq?

(Yes, I am, in fact, a troublemaker ;) )

Not uh, you are in a different dimension mines still in the pegasus galaxy.

that and i am only to epi 10 so don't be ruining it for me.

Fortunately google earth incorporates measuring tools.
The grid appears to be 132 x 173 kilometers, giving an area of 22.836 sq K and is about 5460 meters below sea level.
General position on the Canary Basin,some 720 kilometers on a bearing of 310 degrees(NW)from Tenerife.
However, the area has been subject to sesmic surveys, (see http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA122613)-
unless they found something interesting, of course!
