Again? Pretty soon there will be as many Atlantises as there are Noah’s Arks.

No.
But it is credibly speculated that the sailing ship Marie Celeste did ground off the coast of Africa on sand bars that rise and fall rapidly. Under sail, she would not be going rapidly before the grounding, and there is no reason to think her captain would let loose the anchor to hold a ship that is firmly aground.
Once grounded, her passengers immediately left their meal and their chores and joined part of the crew who had also left the ship to “walk on the newly-found land” ... while leaving maybe 1 or 2 on the ship as watchstanders.
When the sandbar washed back away and refloated the ship, the remaining one or two crew would certainly have tried to launch the ship’s heavy wooden boats to rescue the struggling “walkers” who were now in waist deep waves (or worse) in rapidly rising water. If the boat’s crew and whatever rescued members couldn’t get back onboard the Celeste, the ship would simply pass rapidly away under the already set sails as the boat tried vainly to row back ....

I went in and measured it. The criss-crossing squares are about 100 miles by 80 miles in total. That's pretty darn freaking huge for an ancient city, for any city. The average city block is 10 miles by 5 miles. Besides the darn thing is on the ocean FLOOR. It is part of the ocean floor - 17,000 feet down.
It's an interesting looking formation, but it ain't no city.

People, people, people, Atlantis was flown away by the Ancients 10,000 years ago to the Pegasus Galaxy.

I think the real Atlantis was the Minoans off of Santorini in the Mediterranean. It was destroyed by the volcano.

If it's a "city", those are some humungous blocks. The bounding rectangle is 80 - 100 miles on a side.
Not buying it...
BTW & FWIW, I spend at least half my time doing cartography and overhead imagery analysis for archaeology...
