Now this is all well and good, but there are four three things that make this a little unbelievable.
- It is about 1000kms off the coast of Spain, so either the sea rose a lot, or the island sank a lot.
- The city itself is 130km x 150km - thats a big ancient city
- According to The Book of Critias by Plato, Atlantis was laid out in a circular fashion, not a grid.
- The story was published by The Sun - so there goes any credibility.

What ever it is, hoax or not, I doubt if it is Atlantis. Based on the grid on Google maps it would be 175km x 125km wide! A city, nay a metropolis of that magnitude in the ancient world - I do not think so. Rome at its height appears to have had no parts of it more than 10km from the Palatine Hill.
Atlantis - I think not!
