According to two scientists, Atlantis has been found[views:5038][posts:48]____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 9:11am - arilliusbm ""] At the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle http://www.riseearth.com/2012/10/atlantis-...nd-giant-sphinxes-pyramids.html?m=1 lulz.

| _________________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:17am - rand ark thor ""] so fucking bullshit. that's quite a picture of a miniature shallow model. here's a good comment: ews.com wrote the story, but I will still comment on it. There are a lot of very big problems with it. I will discuss a few of them. 1st, the great pyramid at Giza is between 450 and 480 feet tall. That would put it's top only 120-150 below the surface of the water in this area, where the water is 600 ft deep. Obviously anything larger than the great pyramid would rise nearly to the surface. The photos in this article show pyramids that are covered by water several times their height, so much so that we cannot even see the surface. Also, the light that the ROV is shining on a pyramid as is takes a pic of it is illuminating nearly the entire pyramid. Underwater lights on submersibles such as the one shown in this article do not have a long range, and would have to be very close to the pyramid to photograph it, meaning we would only be able to see a very small part of it, unless it was really small, like 20 ft tall or less. 2) The supposed ruins are located between Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula, which is west of Cuba. This is not in the Bermuda Triangle as the article says, because the Bermuda Triangle is on the East side of Cuba, and actually lies a couple hundred miles away from Cuba to the East. That fact destroys a major claim of the article. 3) If Cuba was part of the culture associated with this alleged city, as claimed by the article, then why didn't the people simply move to the higher areas of Cuba? Also, why are there no signs of advanced culture on Cuba other than some symbols carved on rocks? 4) All of the information about the Olmecs and prior cultures that is written in this article is untrue. We have no clues to the language of the Olmecs or any earlier civilizations, as there are none surviving, and they were gone long before the Aztecs and Mayans. We cannot read their hieroglyphs. We do not know any of their myths or legends, because none of their language survives. Unlike the supposed anthropologist said in the interview in this article, there is no legend of 3 families surviving an earthquake/island disaster, with one named "Olmec". The Olmec did not call themselves "Olmec". "Olmec" is not an Olmec word (remember, we don't know any of their language), it is an Aztec word that means "rubber people" and it is what they called the people living in the Gulf lowlands in the 15th & 16th centuries, 2000 years after the Olmec culture died out. Archaeologists and anthropologists gave the name "Olmec" to the ancient culture that they later discovered in that same area. I think that's enough for now. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:24am - arilliusbm ""] Hahaha yea, when I read the 600 ft comment I lol'd hard. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:28am - arilliusbm ""] The Olmec stuff was also lol worthy. I'm interested in the pictures, though I fear they are fake. ALL I WANT IN THIS LIFETIME IS FOR BIGFOOT OR ATLANTIS TO ACTUALLY BE FOUND, WTF. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:44am - arilliusbm ""] The Japanese structures are legit. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:44am - rand ark thor ""] Japanese structures: "I'm not convinced that any of the major features or structures are manmade steps or terraces, but that they're all natural," said Robert Schoch, a professor of science and mathematics at Boston University who has dived at the site. "It's basic geology and classic stratigraphy for sandstones, which tend to break along planes and give you these very straight edges, particularly in an area with lots of faults and tectonic activity." Antarctica: More ice. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:49am - rand ark thor ""] "Why? How can this appalling neglect persist in the face of a discovery of such unparalleled magnitude? At the risk of accusations of paranoia, one might conclude that a real conspiracy of managed information dominates America’s well-springs of public knowledge." lol...yeah |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 10:54am - arilliusbm ""] Last I've read they were still unsure and there were professional opinions on both sides. I like to keep a positive opinion on these until I read of conclusive evidence against it. Gobekli Tepe has opened my mind up to anything in regards to newer discoveries. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 11:04am - north korean unicorn ""] Japanese pyramid doesn't look like natural formation at all, now that other thing (milenium falcon) at the bottom of the ocean near Norway, that looks like it could be manmade. There have been some ancient maps found that have antartica as land, with drawings of some animals on there, be interesting to find whats lurking down there. Also, and I know its bullshit, but the Nazi's were SSupposed to have a secret base down there [img] |

I mean at the very least if they discovered Atlantis, don't you think you would have heard about it from a more reliable source, considering how big of a discovery it would be? |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 11:12am - arilliusbm ""] Obviously, any supposed "ancient" structure on archeological discussion spurs numerous theories, mostly fringe ones created on the Internet. That's the beauty of science and discovery though. It has always been that way, sans Internet. The skeptics of fringe theories are usually right in most cases, but I still don't believe 100% of mainstream theory, especially when it comes to the history of civilization. We have evidence that the Sumerians were not the first organized culture and civilization, yet most of our schools' history books still say so. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 11:31am - rand ark thor ""] there's an infinite number of falsehoods for any one truth. millions of amateurs speculate and want to believe. a theory is something that cannot be disproven, anything else is speculation, without meticulous research and material data, you only have amateur speculation. blah blah. i'm on my way out jim but i'll totally read that later. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 11:33am - rand ark thor ""] and remember that with so much lack of evidence for ancient civs, nobody can say anything for sure and it doesn't make alternative guessing any more feasible because of gaps in data. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2013 11:41am - arilliusbm ""] Yea, I know; I just hope someday soon we get to fill the gaps. I think most of the answers are in Egypt and sadly, the middle east. |
