There were amazing photos in yesterday's Sun - yep, I did buy the Sun - of clearly man-made structures in the Atlantic fully 3 1/2 miles down. Science found the images of what looks like a whole city, but no-one has yet gone there to look.
The only link I can find is: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article2259666.ece
What is so frustrating about that link is that I didn't see another link or any way to access the actual photos such as on page 1 of the Sun yesterday. Can anyone post that amazing photo? It all looks very serious.
My only object to it all, if the photo of "a city" is real, is that it is clearly man-made, but not a city. It is obviously not a city, but a structure stretching for miles, and not natural. So what is it? This is the kind of thing that to me makes life worth living - the wonder of it all.
Now, where online is the photo in yesterday's Sun?

Is this Atlantis?
Dunno but I found this link which you might find of interest:

The image - discovered on internet mapping tool Google Earth - lay in an area of the Atlantic long thought of as a possible location for the city.
Experts were agog, marine geologists baffled and internet bloggers were buzzing.
There were just two problems, however.
First, the grid of streets, walls and buildings turned out to be the size of Wales. That meant Altantis was 20 time as big as Greater London.
More problematic still, the grid of lines doesn't exist on the sea floor. According to Google, the pattern is an 'artifact' of its map-making process.
Details for the ocean maps on Google Earth come from sonar measurements of the sea floor recorded by boats - and the area around the Canaries was mapped by boats travelling in a series of straight lines.
I'm not saying I know one way or the other though.:)

Google have officially denied it haven't they?
I am totally amazed that anyone would believe ANYTHING they read in the Sun, let alone buy a copy of the rag.

I love the Sun Sunanda! I look forward to my 3 times weekly read of Gaunty having a pop at political correctness and all the people worrying and doom and gloom makes me feel kind of smug like I know something they don't! I just don't take it seriously.
Love
