So what’s the deal? Is it Atlantis or is it some quirk of Google Maps imaging technology? Is it even paranormal? Well if anything it’s a mystery that people have been trying to solve for centuries. And it seems every few years there’s a new claim of the discovery of the ancient land of Atlantis. The latest occurred last week when Google Earth’s mapping of the ocean floor displayed a rectangle the size of a small state off the coast of Africa. The site is filled with right angles which would appear to be man made. But as expected Google came right out and stated that it was just sonar lines. However, there are those already not buying into the explanation. Seems like this one may need further investigation. [via DailyTech]
