Internet giants Google's revised version of the Google Earth (5th edition), which allows users to access undersea data sparked a mass debate when British aeronautical engineer noticed something queer off the coast of Africa , about 600 miles west of the Canary Islands. The area is approximately the size of Wales, resembles the pattern of a street grid. Many believed that this could be the mythical sunken city of Atlantis, since it lies awfully close to one of the spots that Plato had pinpointed as a possible resting place of Atlantis. However, Google has moved swiftly to deny the rumor, stating that the lines are remnants of sonar traces left by boat as they surveyed the area. The following are two video clips that compiled the information gathered from youtube that offers a quick lowdown on what was seen on Google Earth
Skeptics have a point, why is it that prestigious marine research institutes, armed by sophisticated technology & equipments have not been able to locate Atlantis all these years, yet a software by Google can detect the location (even with the exact coordinates!) seemingly without much effort?
Yet, the evidence is compelling. The grid of crisscrossing lines don't quite seem to be the work of mother nature, remember, mother nature doesn't make straight lines, intelligent beings do. The site seem to be too vast and organized to be caused naturally. And while Google had claimed how did the lines originate, they were unable to explain why the blank spots within those lines.
Is it really Atlantis that is seen on Google Earth? And if it's not, do you still believe that Atlantis had actually existed? I'll leave the decision up to you :)
Interesting topic! The existence of Alantis is definitely still a myth, however, there were doubts about the evidences provided by Plato.Some anthropologists believed that Plato's descriptions on the Alantis could be drawn from the advance Maya civilization (2000 BC - present) instead.
ReplyDeleteThe lines highlighted in the Youtube videos are definitely too perfect to be the work of mother nature, but the origins are still doubtful to prove anything. Maybe we shall wait for details? Or maybe if Alantis was that advance it will resurface once again? =)
