Has Google Earth Found Atlantis?

It’s amazing what people are taken in by these days, but titles such as the one on this post have created a buzz around the blogosphere today. Even with Google coming out and saying, no, they did not find Atlantis, that people were merely observing lines made by a sonar carrying path of boats, the news continues to spread. So why not join in on it?

If you’re not aware, basically what happened is that a UK engineer sighted what he thought looked like the “lost continent” while using Google Ocean. What he viewed was reportedly over five KM below the water’s surface with the same geographical coordinate range of where many believe the “lost continent” to be.

If you want to see what all the buzz is about yourself, just boot up Google Ocean (which is available via the Google Earth program) and fill in the coordinates with 31 15′15.53 N 24 15′30.53 W. Then you can decide whether you believe its simply lines created by a path of boats, or perhaps the lost continent itself.
