DINGLE, Ire. – After years of extensive searching, the lost city of Atlantis has been found – on Google Maps!
The reports are in from officials at Google Maps. They say the computer-based cartography system, which provides high-resolution satellite images for geographic locations around the world, beamed hundreds of photos from the lost city of Atlantic back to Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California.
The image clearly shows a glittering mythological palace floating atop the Atlantic Ocean. See for yourself:
“The photo taken by Google Maps is most definitely the Lost City of Atlantis,” said Yale Mythologist Anthony Braxwell. “It displays all the trademark characteristics of the legendary metropolis. A shimmering castle, glistening drawbridges made of gold, crystal spires – yep, it’s all there.”
“I’m just surprised it took so long to find,” added Braxwell.
According to sources, the Google Maps satellite was performing a routine scan of the Atlantic Ocean when it came across the strange, previously uncharted Kingdom of Atlantis.
The satellite images, which have been proven accurate to within 1/100th of a millimeter, show the island of Atlantis sitting just 10 miles southwest of Dingle, Ireland, a small township with a population of 300.
“I’ve lived here for 75 years,” said Brian MacElhose, a farmer and lifelong resident of Dingle, “and never noticed that gigantic city floating out there in the ocean. How could I have missed it? Oh well, I guess that’s what Google Maps is for.”
Experts in the fields of geography and history say the recent discovery of Atlantis will have a “monumental effect on the future of mankind.”
“This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most important discovery of the last millennium,” said Braxwell.
Word has yet to be released concerning the population or demographics of Atlantis. Some authorities speculate that the city is probably barren, while others estimate its population to be somewhere around 10,000.
Either way, international diplomats are foaming at the mouth for a chance to colonize the mythological island. England, Iraq, Russia, Greece, and the United States have all expressed interest in claiming Atlantis as a territory.

No way…really? Fake? You're LYING.
I admit it isn't Atlantis, but are you sure that this is fake.
This is not news to me, my family has vacationed on Atlantis since I was a young lad. Some of the best beaches in the world rivaled only by Saint-Tropez. Also, the King of Atlantis is one of the best surfers I've ever seen!
Are sure you visited the REAL Atlantis?
it's look like edited in adobe photo shop…,
Yeah, it definitely looks like the original photo is enhanced. It gives the picture more clarity whereas if they had left it as is it may have been slightly blurry. It's an effect of Atlantis's high density light filtration system. It basically makes it very hard to get a good picture of.
Hogwash! Its been of the coast of North Yorkshire for thousands of years, protected by an invisibility cloak gifted to the Yorkshire folk 3500 years ago by a passing alien. It must have slipped its anchor and floated away. The folk have despatched a rowing boat to tow it back within the cloak. Keep yer hands orf!!
oooo…so that's 'Atlantis' huh?
It's not Atlantis!!!

What you see is that it seems to float. This explains the difference in viewpoints ans also may explain the different report locations through the centuries.

Is this the real Atlantis or is it one of those islands from Irish myth?
It is 1 of those islands from Irish myth.
I think they just copied the WALT DISNEY castleand then did some fine tuning its pretty easy if you know how to use adobe photoshop MUAHAHAA!!!
I think this Atlantis is really a former site of a real life Azkaban.
I still say this is a former sit of a real life Azkaban.
I say this is an Atlantean outpost, not the homeland itself.
