It is on the sea bed, 620 miles West of Africa and is about 120 miles long x 75 miles wides. Google Map found this and I thought this was odd.
City of Atlantis found?

Highly improbable.
The underwater version of Google maps uses some 3d reconstruction, and there's plenty of locations I'm sure like that which are likely formed by anceint fissuers and where corral reefs once laid.
... on the other note, that would be pretty nifty if it were remnants from a civilisations that was taken by the sea long ago. Perhaps when the pictured locale was above sea level.

It does look like a grid pattern; typically grid pattern layouts are a marker of being what is considered a city in a complex, stratified society.
Besides being mostly a myth, the people of Atlantis, otherwise know to the Greeks as the "People of the Sea" could have been any society located along the Mediterranean Sea.
Still, it's pretty interesting being straight lines typically do not occur in nature outside the influence of man.

Yes
Isnt this rather old? I thought someone had made a similar claim using google earth just in 2009?!
Im also quite sure that an Atlantis had to have existed at some point in time.

I agree, it doesn't make geographical sense for Atlantis to be so far west. Also, are you referring to the Sea Peoples? Because they were an actual group of raiders who destroyed basically every Mediterranean civilization but Egypt about 3000 (or something like that, I don't remember the date) years ago. They were very real and aren't really connected with Atlantis. If you weren't talking about them, my mistake, but I just wanted to clear that up.Dart said:

Hey Cherry... those raiders... THAT WAS ME!! ^_^
You could be right about that, but I feel like the nature of the Sea Peoples makes them being connected with Atlantis unlikely at best. They were nomads and raiders who migrated into the eastern Mediterranean, then disrupted, raided, and destroyed the existing civilizations. This doesn't fit with the idea of a sophisticated civilization that suddenly fell into the ocean. Further, there are countless Egyptian records and writings talking about the Sea Peoples. It's been relatively well established that they did in fact exist. To associate them with the largely mythological Atlantis just doesn't seem right. In truth, I'm no expert on the topic (lol I just saw a documentary on the Bronze Age Collapse), but I find it unlikely that the Sea Peoples were connected with Atlantis in any way. In all likelihood, they were just large groups of displaced peoples who managed to destroy the established order wherever they went to settle.Dart said:
EDIT: No way Scyth. Those losers only killed civilization for a couple centuries. If it was you, half of Europe would still be on fire lol! :rockin
