Atlantis Found?
Might these be the ruins of the lost continent of Atlantis? Eager explorers certainly thought so, trumpeting this grid off the coast of Africa as streets in the mythical sunken city. Observers noted the area appeared to be the size of Wales, making such a large grid an impressive feat of ancient urban planning. The real explanation is far less fun: Google Earth engineers soon announced that the grid pattern was merely a digital artifact created by the sonar boats collecting mapping data. Whispers still linger, but it doesn't look like anyone will be dredging up a forgotten civilization anytime soon.
亞特蘭蒂斯?
這會是失落的的大陸亞特蘭蒂斯的廢墟嗎，探險狂熱者們當然會這樣認為，他們大勝囂嚷著稱，地圖上位于非洲海岸邊上的格子狀圖案就是一座失落的神秘城市的街道。一些觀察者則發現它的面積有一個威爾士那么大，這個地圖上的大格子于是就成了古代人類城市設計的又一大奇跡。然而事情的真相卻遠遠沒有這么有趣，谷歌地圖的工程師很快的宣布，這個格子狀的圖案只不過是收集地圖資料的聲納船所產生的電子遺跡而已。傳言依然有，但是人們短時間內恐怕不會再記起這個失落的文明。
