What amazing news to hear, even if it’s fake. How awesome would that be? Finding Atlantis on Google Earth?Reading the newspaper with a big first page: Atlantis was finally found!

This is a recent story that Google is trying to deny after someone (probably a geek) found on Google Earth a strange image of what appears to be underwater remains of a city .

Everybody was getting all hyped up about this, even The Telegraph released this story and the exact
coordinates of the place:
31 15’15.53N, 24 15’30.53W

You can see the map location on the following image:

Unfortunately Google has come to spoil it for everyone, so they gave their explanation:
“It’s true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth, including a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species and the remains of an ancient Roman villa,” a statement from Google read. “In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.”
