THIS is the amazing image which could show the fabled sunken city of Atlantis.
It shows a perfect rectangle the size of Wales lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down.
A host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary.

Funny enough this is super old news Im surprised its coming around again, this thing was discovered a while ago and there is even a documentary on it.

Thanks a bunch!
