[QUOTE]WASHINGTON, DC (Herald de Paris) - EXCLUSIVE - Researchers have revealed the first images from the Caribbean sea floor of what they believe are the archaeological remains of an ancient civilization. Guarding the location’s coordinates carefully, the project’s leader, who wishes to remain anonymous at this time, says the city could be thousands of years old; possibly even pre-dating the ancient Egyptian pyramids, at Giza.
The site was found using advanced satellite imagery, and is not in any way associated with the alleged site found by Russian explorers near Cuba in 2001, at a depth of 2300 feet. “To be seen on satellite, our site is much shallower.” The team is currently seeking funding to mount an expedition to confirm and explore what appears to be a vast underwater city. “You have to be careful working with satellite images in such a location,” the project’s principle researcher said, “The digital matrix sometimes misinterprets its data, and shows ruins as solid masses. The thing is, we’ve found structure – what appears to be a tall, narrow pyramid; large platform structures with small buildings on them; we’ve even found standing parallel post and beam construction in the rubble of what appears to be a fallen building. You can’t have post and beam without human involvement.”
Asked if this city is the legendary city of Atlantis, the researchers immediately said no. “The romanticized ideal of Atlantis probably never existed, nor will anyone ever strap on a SCUBA tank, jump in the water, and find a city gateway that says, ‘Welcome to Atlantis.’ However, we do believe that this city may have been one of many cities of an advanced, seafaring, trade-based civilization, which may have been visited by their Eurocentric counterparts.”
It is unknown at this time how the city came to be on the sea floor, and not on dry land. “We have several theories.”
The team hopes to conduct a massive mapping and research expedition, to learn as much as possible about who these people were, before turning the site over to the Caribbean island’s home government. “Whatever we’ve found does not belong to us,” the project’s leader said, “It belongs to the people of this island, and to the world at-large. If any pieces are brought to the surface, they belong in the hands of a museum.”[/QUOTE]

What the fuck.
Holy shit :monocle:
Wait, is that an actual picture of said city? No way!
Awesome!
Holy shit Atlantis...
Wait how were these pictures taken?
Yeah, actual pic.
The site was found using advanced satellite imagery
Looks more like random artifacts caused by the way they mapped the ocean or something.
Yay! Even more old news.
What if there's fish people?
Was I the only one expecting Badage Boys?

yes.
Mind = blown
Plato was right?
Please, please be an ancient civilization with technology. :)
Hmm, who exactly are these 'researchers,' and why would the project leader want to remain anonymous after the big reveal, given that remanants of an ancient trading civilization would be an archeological find that would make his/her career? Additionally, the article is marked as an exclusive to the Herald de Paris. Again, [I]an entirely new civilization[/I] is discovered, and the only outlet this anonymous team of researchers can get to announce their discovery is this online newspaper which still has an article about Christmas on its frontpage?
...right.

that would be awesome!
Wow, that picture is amazing. I want to see some video footage or something soon.
Looks like .jpg artifacts.

They're keeping shit on the down low so that noone else can find/follow them and fuck around with the city.
Or people making shit up, I dunno.
There's been a trend in threads on mysterious topics lately.
Still amazing though, there's still things to be discovered, we haven't found everything on this planet yet.

And naturally, the only way one can contact this expert team of scientists is through the Herald de Paris publisher. The article also says that this team is going to organize a massive research expedition, [I]and then[/I] turn the site over to the local government. I know nothing about archeological protocol, but I'm pretty sure it is the local government which assumes control immediatly after discovery, and gets to determine from there who examines the site. Given that it is, you know, their soil (/water).
I suspect your second explanation is more likely.
£100 says it's absolutely nothing.

I might look as an asshole saying that but why that "city" which looks like a circuit board is overlapping some of these white things? Are they clouds? If yes chances are picture's fake :/ Because if you look closely right here you should see it:

The article says it's reflections of clouds in the water.
They say the clouds are reflections of clouds and bright light from the sun.
