Grid lines found on the seabed, to the west of the Canary Islands using the new version of Google Earth.

1. Yes, and they built their city with an Etch-A-Sketch, evidently.

2. hey canetoad-- are the fires out yet? Hope all is OK

How's the crop?

[canetoad]

4. hey panader0

The main ones are out, but there are still some burning in forest areas. Hope they get them under control as hot week predicted.

Crop is coming along nicely, most of the males out and the fems pegged down to wander hither and thither upon the sunlit ground

Cheers mate.

3. I wish someone would just dive down there and check it out already.....

geesh. (That would be so cool if it was :)

8. It's not.

Those lines are more then half a mile wide. Unless they built canals as wide as the mississippi river, it can't be made made. When you look at that image through google earth, the closest you get zoomed in at, you can't even see the Great Wall of China.

From what I've heard those are "missing data" lines from sonar exploration.

5. Seomeone poste3d a link yesterday

which stated it was ship mapping lanes. I think it was from the telegraph.

6. Those are sonar traces. I've been to Atlantis, and this is no Atlantis!!!

Sorry to disappoint!! :rofl: They are an artifact of mapping the ocean floor.

7. No

No

9. That's probably what Manhattan will look like

in a few decades.

12. If you go slightly east of that location and just a bit north, but still west

of the Canarys, you can see more faint square patterns.

13. Only if Atlantis is the size of Delaware and has miles-wide streets

Oh, and only if the absolute only "evidence" for it is one of Plato's rather allegorical writings.

14. Yes. But the Atlantans, despite warnings, all stuffed tennis balls down their toilets.

15. They've found Dick Cheney's bunker! n/t
