Probe Into Cuba's Possible *Sunken City* Advances

Oh yeah, I rember that. One of the most interesting guys Bell has on from time to time is the guy that specializes in archaeological finds that seem to wholly contradict established science. Things like a complete gold chain found in a seam of coal several million years old. He's got reams and reams of examples and maybe he's making them up but then he's not the only one with this sort of findings. The point that this guy makes is that anything that is found that largely contradicts established theory is just ignored. No one will touch it because other coleagues further up the food chain will ostracize those who contradict the 'old guys' theories that are the basis of present day text books. Of course this is ever the case. The more things change ......

"Unless of course you're STUPID like the feebs at NASA who're still working triple shifts trying to convince the world this thing is a mesa. "

How about the feebs who're still trying to convince the world this thing is not a mesa?

Like I said.....

[El Sordo]

It leads me to think about all the wonderful geological formations all over earth that just happen to look like things.

It hearkens back to the days of primitive humans seeing the gods in rock formations, clouds, the moon, etc.... Then there are modern primitive humans who see Jesus in sweat stains, Mary in the glare of a building, and Elvis in a jelly donut.

In regards to whoever wrote the bulk of your post, the evidence that the human mind looks for (and finds!!) recognizable patterns in naturally occurring phenomena is so strong and so well documented that to declare those who express skepticism (of whatever degree) about life (past or present) on Mars as "Feebs" seem highly arrogant at best.

Sorry, but the image of that main pyramid and the most recent face image above simply don't leave any room for doubt. Anybody claiming thoswe are natural formations is a feeb at best and likelty worse than that.

There have been recent "revealing" (pardon the pun) infrared photos indicating the possible ruined foundations of cities buried beneath the surface of Mars. NASA and Jet Propulsion Labs seem rather embarrassed, frankly.

But I really wanted to post a link to a very interesting site at MIT concerning Maritime Archeology.

Deep Arch Program

15,000 years and before that, so much of earth's water was locked up in ice that the sea level was 400 feet or more BELOW present day's sea level. The ruins of cities have already been found off of both coasts of India at depths that would have been dry land 20,000 years ago, stone pyrmids just off the coast Japan (Okinawa) and I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't cities out in the bottom of the Caribean or out in the mid Atalantic.

Bump.

[Drammach]

I remember reading reports and articles concerning off-shore discoveries (more like sightings) of cities and villages off the coast of Europe.
Those I can recall were off the coast of Portugal and Spain, and I think, Morrocco. ( The location around the straits of gibraltar might explain that. )
Speculation concerning Ice Age coastal cities and their subsequent inundation by rising seas goes back at least to the 30's or 40's. ( yeah, I'm an old fart.)

Thanks for the ping. Posted HERE also.

HAHA, good one!

I thought you were serious until you got to the part about the terraces.

[Doc On The Bay]

Best way to resolve the controversy; send the manned mission!

I must be a feeb, because I looked at those photos and they sure as heck don't look artificial to me.

The human brain is great at discerning patterns where none exist.

[dinodino]

Oh, and here's another thought that you von Daniken/Art Bell types never address:

If there *are* remains from an intelligent civilization on Mars, and if NASA know this, then why aren't they hyping it and using this golden opportunity to raise money for a manned Mars mission?

Why? Because there are no ruins to be explored, simply average photos of boring rock formations in which some misguided individuals see "ruins."

Real science is so much more interesting than these hoaxes, anyway! We may yet find evidence of past life on Mars, but it'll be at the microscopic level.

Where does one read about that?

[medved]

I must be a feeb...

Yep...

[dinodino]

Not going address post #33, eh?

[thinden]

[medved]

Not going address post #33, eh?

I just did.

[dinodino]

Would you be so kind as to share with the class why you feel NASA would cover up evidence of a Martian civilization?

[medved]

Money. JPL is the real culprit; its funding comes from unmanned probes and a real investigation of Cydonia would almost have to be manned.
