Has Atlantis been found?

Rather exciting if it has!

Apparantly Google Ocean have come up with a possibility for the location of the lost city.

Sorry Goose,

Apparently they are boat-mapping lines around the size of Wales.

Oh, that's a shame .
I suppose its better to have the imagination of how things were like, real discovery might be a disappointment, like if the Lochness Monster were found .

Yes, I agree. Dissilusioning perhaps... don't ask me what boat-mapping lines are - no idea!!

I thought it was very interesting but I think it is very deep and don't know if they have the technology to investigate it closely.

It would be amazing to find this city after the millenia.

This find kind of ties in with Plato's writings about Atlantis being "Beyond the pillars of Hercules"

There was a BBC program about finding Atlantis a few years back, which placed it somewhere off the coast of Cambodia. Divers found huge steps and massive derelict buildings. It was very interesting. Then I heard no more. I must check if this is the same project...thanks for drawing attention to it
(later addition)
This is a whole new site..of to do some serious Googling)
