Lost Atlantis NOT found on Google Earth

200x190.jpg
Claims that the lost city of Atlantis had been found on Google Earth have had cold water poured on them by the search engine.

Experts had spotted a "grid of streets" on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean 620 miles off the coast of north west Africa, which they thought could be the lost city.

It was claimed that the rectangular markings - around the size of Wales - could even indicate the street layout of the sunken city.

But Google today said the marking were in fact the path that boats collecting Bathymetric sea floor terrain data.

In other news no-one has seen Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster on Google Earth either.
