Previously undiscovered ancient city found on Caribbean sea floor

Hey growdude You want to buy a under water city? I'll sell it to you cheap. Hey it even has it's own herd of porpoise. Why you could be one of the first porpoise ranchers. I will even owner finance it will a small down payment.

The article is a hoax anyways. I hate when people post crap like this and it then becomes the featured article. There are plenty other things more important than this fake article. I wish the Current staff would check the article before they feature it...

oh my GOD someone in the flesh who believes global warming is a hoax! yup. what morons we all are to think that all the science is incorrect and some republican senator from the south knows best. ahhh nice.

Yea thats what I'm thinking. However I am looking for other soreces before I scream hoax.

Yeah, its fake alright...

thats what I'm looking for. I have not found anything else yet. However I will look some more.

Thanks. I know ALL things Stitchen and have followed his work for many years but this is a new name to me....how on earth did I miss this? Thanks for posting the link.

same here i know everything zecharia but the other was new to me aswell...thanks a ton my new friend.

Hey that rhymes and tells the whole story...I Am Me and I am Free...cool huh? LOL

Sitchin wrote fiction.

Click jack viruses? Crap. I'm glad I looked at them on a Linux computer.

you're making the assumption that all civilizations before us were 'primitive' and not capable of our constructs? that's pretty naive.

ummm, did you skip history class? Most ancient cities actually followed a really detailed grid system. They were pretty advanced, more than you think. They didnt just get in huge clumps of huts and smoke racks of meat.

One example is Mohenjo-daro, which is from 2600 BC. All the street ran directly north, south, east and west. Other examples are Babylon (1600 BC), Harappa (2600 BC), Teotihuacan (modern day mexico city). Theres plenty more but I think you get the idea.

:-)..nice 1

Yep, it does kind of look like one. Only time and information will tell.

Actually I'm waiting for global warming to make my property ocean front!

Yea me to AHA HA HA I know it's not funny. I live on the texas gulf coast.

If it is now on the ocean floor, it was probably created during the last ice age when much of the water on earth was locked in ice.

Just because something is written about extensivley doesn't make it true. If i started writing about a 'lost" city hidden deep in the himilayan mountains and somebody believed it and they wrote something and so on and so forth you would have tons of stories and then people would find evidence and interpret it as being part of that "lost" city. however this would not make it true. Now it is true that tectonic plates shifting and water levels could rise and cover a city but as far as actual "atlantis" goes it's just a myth

You're also not Plato. It was also suspected Crete was Atlantis at one point. That's true, and I wasn't saying that this was Atlantis, I was just saying scientists can't just throw it off as a myth because in the past we've found that many myths have their foundations in a level of truth.

Neither are you my gullible friend :]

That was an unrelated comment. I stated that it's silly for scientists to assert things don't exist when they don't positively know, and mentioned examples of that happening in the past including instances when scientists thought they had found Atlantis before. I guess having an open mind and not assuming I know everything makes me gullible.

mosesmedina, your caustic responses are just a tad arrogant.
"Just because something is written about extensivley doesn't make it true."--Just because we today say it is a "myth" does not mean it was not based upon historical fact.

Example: the Mexican myth of "quetzalcoatl" being a light skinned, blue eyed and bearded man who arrived in a ship from the East bore strong resemblance to Phoenecians, the ship which was alleged to have been made of grasses matched Phoenecian ships, and the pyramids he reportedly taught the locals to build strongly resembled the Zigarrats. The Ra and Ra II expeditions by Thor Hyerdahl proved that it was possible for Egyptians tohave sailed to the Americas. And there are those who believe they found evidence of Phoenecian settlements in Brazil that are thousands of years old. there are other "myths" (the mention of Troy was a good one) that were thought to be strictly mythical but may have had historical basis, from the great flood, to the stories of Moses.

"If i started writing about a 'lost" city hidden deep in the himilayan mountains and somebody believed it and they wrote something and so on and so forth you would have tons of stories and then people would find evidence and interpret it as being part of that "lost" city." Such a story would be stupid on various levels. Your analogy stinks.

In case you missed it, there are some who suspect that Santorini could be the fabled Atlantis:
"The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of feet deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete,110 km (68 mi) to the south, through the creation of a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis."

At any rate, Santorini suggests the possibility that Plato may have been writing down a story he'd heard that was hundreds or thousands of years old and we don't know that it was not based upon some historical event, just as the battle of Troy was.

ALIENS!!!

I'm pretty convinced that it's just a coincidence.

GEOMETRY!!!

Pyramids are the simplest polyhedrons. Most ancient cultures also mysteriously developed the cube in separate locations around the world and used it for huts and things.

Give blocks to children and they are liable to discover the pyramid. It's not really that amazing. Maybe if there were cubicuboctahedron monuments all across the ancient world, then you would be on to something.

"interesting, is it just a mere coincidence that wide use of pyramid construction in many (almost all) ancient civilizations that were on completely different places on the planet just so happened or was their another influence that exerted such ideas and direction?? im pretty convinced the answer is the latter, but what exactly gave such influence is the true question from which people are not ready to face and accept."

And did you ever notice how it's only BROWN people who build pyramids? I mean, brown people could never have built something so big all by themselves. White aliens must have helped them.

Probably from sand, somehow.
While it forms a cone, getting rid of the curves to make a square and carrying it to the point forms the square-base pyramid.
A lot of people underestimate just how math-based some ancient societies were. Giza was designed heavily around math, with some errors in precision mainly down to their tools not being as refined.
