God.
It's not like He hasn't shown us precedents for His affinity for geometric shapes.

I have firefox as well. So I’ll test it out.
At the end of the article is this excerpt:
Google today claimed the criss-crossing lines were sonar data collected as boats mapped the ocean floor.
But the internet giant said “blank spots” within the lines could not be explained.
A spokeswoman said: “Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor.
“The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.
“The fact that there are blank spots between each of these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world’s oceans.”
I don't really understand what they're saying here. Are they saying that the grid is actually just an ARTIFACT of the sonar sounding process?

Shoot. And to think Donovan was ready for a big comeback tour.
Wow, everything about Atlantis lore and they go with Patrick Duffy and his TV show from the 70’s to reference!!
Is this the face on Mars?
“highways would be a much easier sight to pick out”
Yes, but more likely walls. Deep thick highways weren’t in demand until recently
Only the most major thoroughfares would still be prominent after all this time. Smaller detail would have been covered by sediment long ago. What I'm curious about is whether the image represents a positive or "negative" view. If positive, the major gridlines look not like streets to me, but canals. They're sunken, not raised.

it’s more interesting than that imo
I’ve looked through IE Tools but can’t find anywhere to turn off Javascript. Help, please?
I see Howard !
The location is the interesting part. Outside the pillars of hercules which according to old myth is where Atlantis is located.
“The continent of Atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed
to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!”
That’s nonsense. It isn’t sonar...
It looks like Atlantis to me. But what do I know? I thought that thing on Mars looked like a face.

For any of you interested, it can be found at 31° 26' 18.97"N and 24° 23' 52.83"W.
One of a billion idiots from the East staring straight at the West: "I dont know, but this is my sword!"
