The only problem is that Atlantis is fictional.For a few tantalising hours researchers appeared to have solved one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world - the location of the mythical underwater city of Atlantis.
More than 600 miles off the coast of Africa and nearly 3.5 miles below the surface lay a mysterious grid of lines and markings that closely resembled the streets of a city.
The image - discovered on the internet mapping tool Google Earth - lay in an area of the Atlantic long thought to be a possible location for the fabled lost city.

Looking at those lines, I can certainly understand someone thinking they were an actual man-made artifact of some sort, but why would anyone think they were Atlantis?
Exactly.
Another fun point is that the grid would make the city something like 20 times as big as London. Rather unlikely for an ancient city.
