Google Hides the Discovery of Altantis? You Wish…
It seems that everything Google has instant first love attraction. Sometimes we even see things that don’t exist because of that kind of trust we have in the number 1 search engine company. I am talking about the recent “discovery” of Atlantis.
It all started when some Big Foot believer from United Kingdom was spending too much time on Google Earth. Mind you, the guy, whose name is Bernie Bamford, is an aeronautical engineer. While browsing the wondrous software, that recently added above and below ocean views, he observed a grid of lines near the coast of West Africa.
What would you do next? Probably, nothing. Well, Bernie called tabloid Sun paper and proclaimed that he just discovered lost Atlantis! Why, Atlantis? Because wise Plato mentioned its location somewhere nearby a couple of thousand years ago.
A number of other newspapers kept printing articles left and right about the discovery. Even after Google stated that the lines Bernie had seen, represented sonar data collected from boats. That lade to a new salvo of articles hinting that Google “hides” something from general public.
You just can’t please them all. Say no to Lemuria searchers, and you immediately have to deal with the fans of conspiracy theories. Why would Google hide Atlantis? After all, thanks to Google Earth, experts already discovered pristine forest in Mozambique and an ancient Roman villa.
