It's rectangular. It certainly looks man-made. It's off the coast of North Africa. It's deep underwater. And it's on Google Maps. Could it be the ancient lost city of Atlantis? That's what Bernie Bamford, a British aeronautical engineer, wondered after he spotted an unusual pattern of rectangles on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, The Telegraph newspaper reports. About the size of Connecticut, the pattern looks an awful lot like an aerial grid map of a city. Check the site out on Google Maps. Here's an excerpt from The Telegraph report: According to his account, the city sank beneath the ocean after its residents made a failed effort to conquer Athens around 9000 B.C. Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University told The Sun that the find was fascinating and warranted further inspection. You can read more about the intriguing find at The Telegraph's website. Check out the Atlantis Wikipedia page for more info on the mythical city. Poster Comment: Judging just by the Troll Index and the number of Troll comments on the posting (which is a contrary indicator) there may just be some there, there.
Atlantis experts said that the unexplained grid is located at one of the possible sites of the legendary island, which was described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.

(((((8th Continent Ping)))))
I'm a few chapters into a book (The Atlantis Blueprint) that claims Atlantis is Antarctica. The premise is that a pole shift moved the continent to harsher climate from a location closer to the equator that was more hospitable to life. The authors work on the Hapgood premise that claims that prior to 9,600 BC the Arctic Circle was centered on Hudson Bay (60N 83W) and the Antarctic Circle was in the South Indian Ocean (60S 97E). Hapgood collaborated with Einstein on his theory of earth crust displacement and discovered some maps indicating sub glacial Antarctica. I'm not far enough along in the book to comment but that is the crux thus far. That's a compelling Google Earth shot. Edgar Cayce claims we'll find it before major earth changes roll out.
I'm looking forward to the Lake Vostok discovery, how ' bout you?
Oh yes, the secret Nazi base theory and other weirds things about that lake.

Tides.......under the ice.
I was thinking of all the fish. I mean, untainted, unpolluted fish. Of course, there's the other side of that coin. They could be incredibly hungry, and incredibly huge. Lovecraftian in scope. If only my dreams would come true.
