Herald de Paris: Guarding the location’s coordinates carefully, the project’s leader, who wishes to remain anonymous at this time, says the city could be thousands of years old; possibly even pre-dating the ancient Egyptian pyramids, at Giza.
Atlantis has also been "discovered" by Google Earth in February 2009
A group of ‘undersea archaeologists’ have become the latest to claim they have uncovered the lost city of Atlantis.
The scientists – who have refused to identify themselves – have released a series of images taken beneath the Caribbean.
They insist the snaps show what appear to be the ruins of a city that could pre-date Egypt’s pyramids, which appeared after 2600BC.
They even told a French newspaper that one of the structures appears to be a pyramid.
Now the anonymous group wants to raise funds to explore the secret location where the images were taken.

They would not reveal the exact location, however, saying only that it was somewhere in the Caribbean Sea.
The claims have raised eyebrows on the internet, though sceptics refrained from debunking them entirely – just in case.
The legend of Atlantis, a city of astonishing wealth, knowledge and power that sank beneath the ocean waves, has fascinated millions.
Time and time again hopes have been raised that the lost city has been found – only for those hopes to be dashed against the evidence (or lack thereof).

Its location - or at least the source of the legend - remained a tantalising mystery.
In 1997, Russian scientists claimed to have found Atlantis 100 miles off Land’s End.
In 2000 a ruined town was found under 300ft of water off the north coast of Turkey in the Black Sea.
The area is thought to have been swamped by a great flood around 5000BC, possibly the floods referred to in the Old Testament.
In 2004 an American architect used sonar to reveal man-made walls a mile deep in the Mediterranean between Cyprus and Syria.
In 2007 Swedish researchers claimed the city lay on the Dogger Bank in the North Sea, which was submerged in the Bronze Age.
And as recently as February of this year, what appeared to be grid-like lines that resembled city streets were spotted on Google Earth – in the ocean off the coast of Africa.
Sadly Google itself quickly debunked the suggestion, explaining that the lines were left by a boat as it collected data for the application.
‘Bathymetric (sea-floor) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea-floor,’ a spokesman said.
‘The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.’

what I know from the news, Atlantis finally found in Indonesia (said the brazillian scientist). as Indonesian i am proud of it, if it’s true..
the tittle of the book is Atlantis The Lost Continent Finally Found, Author : Arysio Nunes dos Santos
Could this possibly prove the flood of Noah’s time?
They won’t reveal the location’s coordinates!? Aren’t they listed on the lower left-hand corner of the map?

I’m packing my toothbrush as we speak! But not to go to Atlantis!
Is this really news?
Who knows? But all these theories are so interesting… I saw somewhere awhile ago that this researcher had a theory that Florida IS the long lost continent of Atlantis. He said that the measurements are EXACT, and that all the research as far back as Plato prove it. I never did get a chance to read the book, but as a native Floridian, it seems very interesting.
