This is found somewhere off the coast of AFRICA, and this is the newest innovative development by Google, mapping land is a past, now Google is venturing into Ocean Mapping!!

Bernie Bamford, came upon this strange pattern of lines while browsing Google Maps. The location of the lines are so close to the fame legendary lost island Atlantis. The exact coordinates are 31 15'15.53N, 24 15'30.53W.


BUT according to Google's Official Blog, they firmly debunked it saying that it's mere remnants of data left by sonar boats while mapping the ocean floor. Now all that is left is to send something down to that part of the ocean and take some videos / pictures.

Statement from Google:
"It's true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth, including a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species and the remains of an ancient Roman villa," a statement from Google read. "In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data."
