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.
