Comments on: OMG! Did Google Earth find Atlantis?

The we-know-everything tech giant is saying that what appears to be a street-grid pattern on the ocean floor is not the mythical lost city that some people swear is down there somewhere.

Maybe this is what's left when the city lifts from the water and flys away like on TV.

I would rather believe Edgar Cayce on the location of Atlantis. He had too many correct evaluations on health items when he was alive. In fact, he was 100% correct on both condition and cures. Even today's doctors can not claim that.

There is also the point that the earth has had a lot of time to cover up any structures that might have been left standing after Atlantis' destruction. Since the legend indicates Atlantis sunk below the sea, I would suspect there is enough sand over the location it would take several years to verify anything.

Just in case, I always carry a towel.

How long have I been reading these posts? Let's all get together or rather our combined computing power and figure this out like rational beings on a planet that's dying. Forget the porpoises since we all have the answer. And find the question to it all. Cosmos. Chaos. Oh, where did I leave my towel?

Am I to believe that Google has commissioned a fleet of boats to criscross the oceans of the entire world in a grid pattern? Google is rich, but not that rich! Haven't you guys heard of Satellite imaging? There is no boat, and this is definitely a cover up. whether the grid we see is Atlantis or something else that they don't want you to know about, that's another story...

people, stop trying to find Atlantis. We are never going to know if we find it. Its not like itll have a big ancient sign that reads "Welcome to Atlantis". For all we know, its already been found. Theres just no way to ever tell.

Plato was a philosopher, mathematician and educator. Plato was NOT a historian. It may be a foolish choice to decide that Atlantis is real based on the writings of Plato, in fact a review of his writings might in fact suggest that Plato made the whole thing up as a parable about the evils of corruption. Plato believed that man should aspire to the greatest good thus is it not improbable that he might write something to demonstrate the dangers of not aspiring to the greatest good. Atlantis is the story of a utopian society that was greater than any other but then it became corrupt and was destroyed for abandoning the greatest good.

I've been doing some research on this topic for awhile, and I recently put together a video which I think should clear some things up. here's the link:

Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.
