The Lost City of Atlantis Discovered on Google Ocean – Atlantis Fact or Fiction?
The Lost City of Atlantis Discovered on Google Ocean – Atlantis Fact or Fiction?
History has it, that 12,000 years ago, the lost civilisation of Atlantis was engulfed by the ocean and lost to the world forever; leaving generations to speculate just whether Atlantis was indeed, fact or fiction. The legend of Atlantis has been enhanced by vivid imaginations, passed down through the years; Perpetuating in folk law as a highly interesting conundrum.
The fascination of the Lost City of Atlantis has baffled scholars for many years. Swallowed up into the ocean by a huge Tsunami, the whereabouts of Atlantis are of ongoing investigation, and until such time that the true existence of Atlantis is proven, the legend of Atlantis will live on in the imagination forever. -
According to Greek Mythology, Atlantis was the eldest twin from 5 sets born to Cleito and Poseidon, (King of the sea), and as such, he was made king of the island. The Island of Atlantis was self sufficient, being rich in fruits, nuts and herbs, and contained a large animal colony. What they had on Atlantis was a hugely desirable utopian society which was heavily protected from contact of invasion.
To protect his loved one the mighty Poseidon build a beautiful cliff top home for them near the centre of the island and he carved it into an image of a palace and formed rings of water and stadia about the bottom of the dwelling to keep his wife safe and out of harms way.
Tunnels were dug deep into the sea and special bricked passage docking stations were built for the ships to come in to, further protecting the city of Atlantis. A golden image of Poseidon was erected and here Poseidon held court and all major decisions and strategies were enforced without him having to leave the sanctuary of his mountain palace.

ATLANTIS DISCOVERED?
A very exciting topic has come to the fore in the news recently. According to reports, an underwater grid has been discovered on the ocean floor close to the west coast of Africa.
A precise rectangle with rows of criss-crossing lines was recently found lying deep beneath the ocean. Could this be the legendary, lost city of Atlantis?
An expert on the subject of Atlantis, Dr Charles Orser, said: “It’s fascinating and deserves a closer look” This discovery has caused quite a stir and Geophysicists and oceanographers are very excited at the sighting of what appears to bear strong resemblance to the measurements of Atlantis.
The image of this was found on ‘Google Ocean’, which is a subsidiary of ‘Google Earth’. It was enhanced using marine surveys and satellite imagery. It appeared to be in the proximity where Atlantis is thought to have stood.
Now whether or not this does turn out to be the lost city of Atlantis or another sunken metropolis has yet to be determined. But it certainly is a very exciting find, and one that may just bring the history books to life and prove Atlantis to be an actual fact and not just mere fiction. Only time will tell.
The legend of Atlantis is truly fascinating and one wonders if it ever existed at all, or was it just an imaginative story passed down through the ages? The romanticism and folk law has continued over the centuries and ensconced this tale giving it weight and proportion.
What was the philosopher Pluto trying to say? Did he get his measurements wrong when describing the size of the island? And is this why it has not been believed for all these years? Is all the disbelief really just a case of bad mathematics?
We all know the power of a Tsunami and the absolute and utter devastation that it can cause. Was it simply a case of a small island being engulfed by a huge tidal wave that has created the almost magical myth of the ‘Lost City of Atlantis’?
Legend has it that a vengeance was directed upon Atlantis when Zeus, the king of the gods, the god of the sky and brother to Poseiden, became angry at the greed and corruption that had changed the humble people of the Island and Zeus sought advice from the Gods, as to what punishment Atlantis should receive.
The method suggested was the ‘Wrath of the Gods’ and the action was swift and cruel and irreversible. The huge wall of water engulfed the City of Atlantis, and it was lost to the sea forever.-

Fascinating article! I hope it does indeed turn out to be the Lost City of Atlantis that they’ve discovered - how amazing would that be?! I’m sure there have been many doubters throughout the years of the existence of the Lost City of Atlantis, and this discovery would just be absolutey brilliant.
This truly is an absolutely fantastic article from you here; you can definitely tell that this is a subject that you’re passionate about, and your writing is therefore full of life, zest, and enthusiasm. I really love the way that you’ve written this, and yet again this is an article that you should most definitely be incredibly proud of.
thats an amazing article, i wonder what google is saying about it now. i cant beleive i found a prediction on a website about this. at http://www.atlann.com a few months ago. when was it actually found?
Good article none the less but come on, so that huge blue blob is Atlantis. That would have to be the biggest continent on earth connecting all the continents in to one basically. If you really wanna know where Atlantis is look right below where it says Core M15612, there is a green triangular shape that signifies and under water land mass with a huge crack in it. Note that there are still some very small islands sticking out of the water with people residing on them. Also note that some of the few islands are volcanically active.
If you really read the legend there were volcano’s, there were earthquakes (I.E. the huge fucking crack in the sea floor, which is also seismically active) there was flooding, and tsunami’s.
So all in all
Volcanoes erupting-Still has active volcanoes in the area
Earthquakes-Big ass crack running right through the regional area
Flooding-Earthquake tears a crack that big and that deep right through the underwater land mass of coarse it will fill in with water
Tsunami-Earthquakes seem to do a pretty good job of making those too.
Just my two cents
Or am I missing what I am suppose to look at.

Look harder maybe something that can’t be found or a passange is a hole some kind
