Google rejects Atlantis discovery claims - vnunet.com: "Google has denied claims made in the national papers that its Google Earth tool had been used to discover a grid of streets in the ocean thought to be the lost city of Atlantis.

The claim was originally made to the Sun by UK aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford who saw a grid of lines undersea off the coast of west Africa, a location Atlantis experts have argued is one of the possible sites of the Atlantean metropolis.

Plato had described Atlantis sinking into the ocean 'in a single day and night of misfortune' around 9000 BC, after the city had failed in its attempt to invade Athens. The remains of the city have never been found."
