oh.  I was assuming that the streets of atlantis were made by atlantans.  :tongue:
Why would people from Georgia build streets that far out in the Atlantic?

It's about 400 miles northwest (about 10 O'Clock) from La Palma (Canary Islands), 3 miles under the ocean's surface. 

A while back, there were some odd formations found in the Bahamas.  Some looked like roads, some like hand-carved structures.  They were all eventually shown to be natural formations, however.  There was also some "pyramid" or something found near Japan, I think, that has also been shown to be natural.

A photograph taken from hundreds of miles above the surface of the Earth will not convince me.  Find some man-made artifacts down there and I will be more open-minded.  Find something written that conclusively says "This place is Atlantis" and I will be convinced.

I believe they're usually referred to as Atlantians.  At least in everything I've ever read.   :shucks:

OTOH, an aerial photo of the DFW freeway system looks completely random and without order.  Go figure.

This is "something", but IMO most likely not man-made. A subduction zone cannot (as far as I know) drop 3 miles in a short period of time without causing some major, and I mean major, destruction on a scale that would leave vast ammounts of geological evidence. How would it then leave structures intact?
Something like that would be millions of times more powerful than any earthquake we've ever seen.

Same goes for the modern approach to building cities and neighborhoods.  Most of my town is the standard grid pattern for streets.  The newer parts of town, however, are the bendy streets with random cul-de-sacs here and there.  It drives me crazy.  Imagine trying to find your way around an unfamiliar city with streets like that.

Seriously, IF that is a city at the bottom of the ocean that's one honkingly huige city--75 miles or so across. It really looks interesting.

C'mon, haven't your ever been to downtown Atlanta?  They just want to get as far away from that as they can.

nature is known to dislike putting so many right angles in one place.  it was either man made, or it's a fluke on a gigantic scale.

or maybe the whales were going condo during the real estate boom, and abandoned it when their capital dried up.

I don't buy it...I think nature is capable of doing many things....
Check out these Crop Circles....perfect circles found around the world in large open fields, lots in the UK.  Some say it's formed by aliens..but I say it's a natural occurence.

Maybe crop circles and this new find are caused by magnetic fields deep beneath the earth's crust.

From Wiki:


Quote
In 1991, two men from Southampton, England announced that they had conceived the idea as a prank at a pub near Winchester, Hampshire during an evening in 1976. Inspired by the 1966 Tully Saucer Nests,[18] Doug Bower and Dave Chorley made their crop circles using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools: using a four-foot-long plank attached to a rope, they easily created circles eight feet in diameter. The two men were able to make a 40-foot (12 m) circle in 15 minutes.

The pair became frustrated when their work did not receive significant publicity, so in 1981 they created a circle in Matterley Bowl, a natural amphitheatre just outside Winchester, Hampshire – an area surrounded by roads from which a clear view of the field is available to drivers passing by. Their designs were at first simple circles. When newspapers claimed that the circles could easily be explained by natural phenomena, Bower and Chorley made more complex patterns. A simple wire with a loop, hanging down from a cap – the loop positioned over one eye – could be used to focus on a landmark to aid in the creation of straight lines. Later designs of crop circles became increasingly complicated
.

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Since the height of the last ice age the seas have come up, about 350 vertical feet, so, 12,000 years, anything up to 300 ft.  down COULD be man made. 15,000 ft down man's not the author. Can't say what it IS, burt feel comfortable it is not "ours".
