'Dutchsinse' who posted the video clip on YouTube: "I suppose this means that I, "dutchsinse", am the official discoverer of Atlantis to bring it public?!"
Unfortunately we must disappoint "Dutchsinse" as early as 2009 this place was discovered by an aeronautical engineer, Bernie Bamford, of Chester who spotted the "city" and "it must be man made," he said.
The network of criss-cross lines is 620 miles off the coast of north west Africa near the Canary Islands on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. A perfect rectangle – which is around the size of Wales.
Atlantis experts said that the unexplained grid is located at one of the possible sites of the legendary island, which was described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. "The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis. According to his account, the city sank beneath the ocean after its residents made a failed effort to conquer Athens around 9000 BC.

Google claims that these lines are due to some sort of sonar mapping grid when mapping the ocean floor. But one has to wonder if the "official" explanation holds any truth.
They refresh the images on google earth every so often and this grid hasn't disappeared in the last two years, so one has to wonder if they truly do exist as geological features on the floor of the ocean or if it is what google claims it is.
It definitely deserves a closer look.
Keen observers had spotted what appeared to be the outline of a vast city on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
But the criss-crossing lines, located 600 miles west of the Canary Islands, were today explained by Google as sonar data collected as boats mapped the ocean floor.
A spokeswoman said: "It's true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth including a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species and the remains of an Ancient Roman villa.
"In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artefact 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.
"The fact that there are blank spots between each of these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world's oceans."

The perfect rectangle was noticed on the search giant's underwater exploration tool by an aeronautical engineer who claims it looks like an "aerial map" of a city.
The underwater image can be found at the co-ordinates 31 15'15.53N 24 15'30.53W.
Google Ocean, an extension of Google Earth, allows web users to virtually explore the ocean with thousands of images of underwater landscapes.
Launched earlier this month, it lets users swim around underwater volcanoes, watch videos about exotic marine life, read about nearby shipwrecks, contribute photos and watch unseen footage of historic ocean expeditions.
