Atlantis has been found!
Posted by drocolate on February 23rd, 2009
The lost city of Atlantis has finally been found. Some dude named Bernie Bamford (awesome name) “discovered” the city using Google Ocean, an extension of Google Earth.
The city has been located off the coast of Africa near the Canary islands. Its coordinates are 31 15’15.53N by 24 15’30.53W. Feel free to go there and check it out. It doesn’t look like much from the satellite, but I’m sure the parts that we can’t see (which at this point is all of it) are extremely awesome. And ornate. And magical.
No word yet on whether or not a mythical race of godlike alien fish people live there. Neptune, who would presumably be their leader, has not come out to make a formal statement.
At press time, President Barack Obama was quoted as saying,
“I’d love to sit face to face with Neptune and ask him about the economy down there in Atlantis. Right now, in this economy, any advice is good advice, even if you are using seashells and coral for currency. And I wanna see that trident!”
Ok, that’s enough bullshitting. It’s time for some cold, hard reality.
According to Google, Mr. Bamford’s “discovery” (c’mon, all he did was use Google Ocean, Bernie Bamford is no Magellan) is not Atlantis, but some interference caused by multiple sonar signals interacting with their satellites.
Resume bullshitting!
What if Atlantis was just a block for block recreation of Cleveland. Only underwater. Would that be looked at as a disappointment?

Im not sure how this fits into ITE, but I likes anyhow. So you’re assuming Neptune is the ruler of this submerged paradise. What if you’re wrong? What if, after making your I (heart) Neptune stickers, you dive down to Atlantis only to find Poseidon as the ruler? Boy is your face red…
Dear simiansoul,
This totally fits into our ITE? theme. Just imagine all the sweet real estate opportunities that would have presented themselves had this turned out to be true. It would have been a modern day land rush. In the ocean.
And after doing further research, the king of Atlantis is probably King Triton. You may know him from his work in The Little Mermaid.
I hope that clears everything up.
Sincerely,
Drocolate
