Google is everywhere, great to know that but it appears that Google Earth (that recently launched version 5.0 and took itself to Mars) appears to have revealed the lost city of Atlantis. We all know about Atlantis; an island city that was drowned in the depths of the ocean near North Africa. There hasn’t been confirmation regarding this from Google that has in fact put down the claim stating:

What users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.

That might be correct but will someone answer why these ships made sure they traveled in a square form?
