Atlantis found?

It is so real, I could feel the lost souls of Atlantis as I swam above it last week.

It's a bit lengthy but interesting. Provides background into the Minoans and Phillistines(bottom of page). My response is, could be. No clear evidence at this time. Just broken pottery, jewelry and such. There is such evidence to prove now that the Ancient Hebrews were in the Sinai. They left their graffitti inscribed on the rocks leading inland from Egypt.

ah, the world's last great wilderness, the oceans...

Oi oi oi.

It probably isn't even manmade.

If something sank due to geological reformation a distance of 3.4 MILES to the bottom of the ocean, there is no way it would remain intact in any recognizable form.

I doubt that it's even man-made.

I knew it!

... this being atlantis or whatever? I don't really see the appeal in ancient stories that seem more or less legend only. afterall isn't atlantis supposed to be an entire contentent? and no there can't be confusion in translations or anything because even plato, and whomever he may have gotten the story from, knew the difference between a contenent and an island.

I'm glad this isn't real ... Atlantis is one of those things that I think remain better as a romantic mystery

It's a leftover set from "Stargate Atlantis", I'll bet.

It doesn't correspond to the description of Atlantis, so I doubt it is Atlantis. It could be some other sunken city.

What is with all these SUN stories?? Give me a break please...

that cant be true... we will never find it never..lol...

Folks, the MOST substantial inkling of Atlantis was conceived in Plato's Republic in which case Atlantis served as a theoretical idealized society that he concocted to help persuade his own rhetoric. While it did give name to such things as the Atlantic Ocean, it is widely believed to be pure fiction.

I love good bullshit, and I miss the Weekly World News.

Google has commented on this particular finding and has said "In this case, however, the image is an artifact of the data collection process, not the city of Atlantis. - :( - Google had to go spoil the fun. next time people.

there is more around it

I dunno about this, I mean I would love to be alive when Atlantis is discovered but I'm a little skeptical we'll ever find conclusive evidence.

Maybe some real evidence is needed before everyone jumps the gun.

Yeah right... I scaled this "city" on google earth and found it to be about 90 miles square with city blocks 11 miles x 8 miles. That can't really be classified as a city. I've seen similar patterns in the wrinkles on the back of my hand. This is a natural formation created by plate tectonics. Maybe Atlantis was an island formed by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but I doubt it would have sunk so deep.

Future technologies ha! Plato would have thought a toothbrush was advanced. Why does everyone think Atlantis (if it did exist) was so great?

Hey Folk

It is easy to see that this post has passionate opinions on both sides. Just a quick reminder that we all must consider Current.com's community standards when posting http://current.com/s/community_standards.htm
Current encourages debate and we want to hear both sides of the story - in a reasoned manner.

Thanks.

in the west atlantis was a nation of advanced sailors back in the time of the minoans who I believed were based in modern day santorini. there was a huge volcanic eruption dated to about the time that wiped out nearly the entire island. I mean like, gone but for some rocks and a tiny shred of the island and volcano. These people were important to the various cultures because they traded goods yada yada so I'm sure them suddenly disappearing was noteworthy. And greeks do like their myths.

dunno, that's the explanation that's most feasible to me.

It is a lost city, but it is not Atlantis.
Mancer is right . Atlantis has probably already been found of the coast of Cuba.

DO YOUR RESEARCH & STOP GETTING EXCITED OVER NOTHING.

i just don't believe in fake news before lunch

Hopefully in my lifetime. I have been waiting a long time for them to find Atlantis.

It's not Atlantis, I don't see robots or piramids.

uh yeah, for one this is from the SUN which I wish people would stop posting as news from that rag and second this is nothing new you can find a couple of sites like this found already. It is also more widely believe that Plato wrote Atlantis as s story and an allegory of what he was seeing in Greece at the time as it was part of a much large dialogue of Plato's.

Atlantis has already been found off the coast of cuba. Go look it up. It was found by the US navy with submarines during the cuban missle crisis. It's not something they want people to know about because they have already recovered ancient yet highly advanced "machines" from it.

False alarm folks. Look to the west of Ireland for a similar, much larger, formation. Unless of course that's a massive flooded city larger than all of Ireland.

and if you look real close you can see Aqua Man snaring a dolphin for dinner

I don't buy it. Besides Atlantis city planning was totally circular and futuristic like all the artist depictions in other stories.

Great, Google knows everything about everybody, and you thought the government was bad, this is some crazy stuff, and there was another story or two regarding the use of Google Earth, or ya the heart shaped island LOL.

At 3.5 miles down there is hardly any light...
How can they take a picture of that large of an area with so little light...
It's the Sun reporting again...
It's fake... without a doubt...

Sexy.
