In February 2009 a British aeronautical engineer claims to have spotted the lost city using Google Ocean. However, Google has responded to the claim and says the lines seen on the ocean floor are an artifact left over from the path of the ship taking the data measurements.SkyNews: Has The Lost City Of Atlantis Been Found?

Google Maps Discovery
Bernie Bamford, a British aeronautical engineer, claims that he has spotted what he thinks is the lost city of Atlantis off the coast of West Africa. The engineer claims that a grid 620 miles off the western part of the continent is at a depth of 3.5 miles and consists of a series of cross-lines within a rectangle. The grid was spotted using Google Ocean. However, in a statement, Google calls the discovery of the city highly unlikely; stating further that, "boats use sonar to take measurements of the seafloor and the lines shown reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data."SkyNews: Has The Lost City Of Atlantis Been Found?
