THIS exciting discovery on Google Ocean backs up the theories about Atlantis I outlined in my dialogues Timaeus and Critias back in 350BC.
I described a “dense wall” surrounding the great city, which is just like the rectangular perimeter of the seabed image.
And I told of a complex network of streets and buildings — again similar to the grid in the picture.
I learned about Atlantis from Egyptian priests, whose records of the lost civilisation were scrawled in their ancient temples.
I said it was located in the “real sea”. Some scholars have interpreted this as a reference to the Atlantic. Others think it’s the Mediterranean. But I’m not letting on just yet.

There are many civilizations that have sunk underwater or underground. One was found near Japan too. It's part of the cycles of history and geology. But it doesn't mean it's Atlantis.
