Google doesn’t find Atlantis after all

With the demise after a scant 13 episodes in 1977 of the Patrick Duffy lead Man from Atlantis many of us assumed that the rumours of lost civilizations beneath the sea would die away, until last week that is, when a Brit searching through the latest incarnation of Google Earth, spotted what he believed was the famed lost City http://tinyurl.com/amvdbl

The discovery is unlikely, the denial from Google was swift, but it was the wording of the denial which garnered interest from us.

As part of the news release denying the find, Google did confirm that Google Earth had discovered a new forest in Mozambique that’s home to previously unknown species and the remains of a previously undiscovered ancient Roman villa.

Is there nothing Google can’t achieve?

Oh and by the way, for those of you with treasure hunting aspirations the exact coordinates of Atlantis are apparently 31 15'15.53N, 24 15'30.53W.
