Google Ocean: Has Atlantis been found off Africa?

You can't see the grid they're talking about in the article's pic, so here's a link to it in Google Maps.<p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#38;source=s_q&#38;hl=en&#38;geocode=&#38;q=31+15%2715.53N+24+15%2730.53W&#38;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&#38;sspn=50.777825,66.796875&#38;ie=UTF8&#38;ll=31.255074,-24.257812&#38;spn=3.455865,4.174805&#38;t=h&#38;z=8" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#38;source=s_q&#38;hl=en&#38...</a><p>It does look quite artificial compared to the surrounding ocean floor.

Each street is ~1 mile across. The distance between two successive "streets" is ~10 miles.

Here's another one, bigger than Ireland:<p><a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&#38;t=h&#38;ll=54.188155,-12.98584&#38;spn=4.513794,11.206055&#38;z=7" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&#38;t=h&#38;ll=54.188155,-12...</a>
