Underwater archaeology

Here's a site

http://www.satellitediscoveries.com/

you might find interesting. It focuses on geometric patterns detected from
satellites. Some of them are underwater...

I found this a week or two ago. The quality of the images is not so hot, and
a lot of the "features" presented are very large....maybe too large to be explained by human actions. Back to Giza...people are seeing a face looking up at the satellite!!

Because I use a Mac, Unfortunately I can't uses google map or google world or whatever it is called, to find a coastline and zoom in on it. I would think this would be a possible source of interesting images from relatively shallow water, expecially where it is clear.

You can't? I wonder if you've actually tried it!
Because on my Mac http://maps.google.co.uk/ works without a hitch...
I suggest you try again and start planning your underwater excavations!

Or, you could buy Graham Hancock's "Underworld" since he has done a lot of the heavy lifting for you>

Bob, are you working for Mr. Hancock now? LOL! Seriously, though, Hancock writes things that will definitely make you think. He is a very intelligent man with no fear whatsoever. I do recomend that one take his theories with a grain of salt as some of them are a bit far-fetched. The things he brings up are definitley worth investigation. He does extensive research on most of that stuff so most of the information is valid. For his most recent book he experimented with all manners of halucinogens to see if he could figure out why shamans and ancient people used them. I bet that was some interesting work. Anything for the research, right?

Scroll to the bottom and look who was at that conference on precession. A virtual "who's who" of maverick theorists. West is noticeably absent from this group.

Here's the new book.

It just seemed easier for Stan to read the book than to go through the trouble of getting scuba certified and travelling 3/4 of the way around the world.

And, I'm not aware of anyone else doing this kind of research.

Hancock is hardly on a par with the aliens-built-all-this-stuff kooks. For one thing he is more of an editor in that he gathers and collates work by others and fully documents his sources.

As has been mentioned, the Zahi Hawass-types hate it when West and Schock mention rock walls that were eroded by rainwater....but the rocks are still there nonetheless.

I didn't know his latest book had been released yet. Last time I checked it was only out in England.

Apparently it has been released in hardcover here. I haven't been in a book store in a while, though, so I haven't seen it. I've actually only read "Fingerprints of the Gods". I haven't read any of his others. I have seen him on Discovery channel or somewhere on TV. He's a smart dude. Not at all the flake some might think.

Amazon.com for me.

I think I'll take a peek over there and see if they have it yet. Does seem like an interesting excuse to take a lot of drugs, though.

So what do you thinkof the site I started this thread with?

Does it turn you on?

Do all those underwater "grids" and "triangles" say "man-made" to you?

Thanks for the tip, Rokcet...
Yes, I can use the site you referenced.

THere is another one, though, that consists of satellite photos...
you can see your house or anything like that...
I believe it's only for PC's so far.
The network TV shows in the US use it to show
views of Iraq, Baghdad, etc.

It's a very interesting site. I haven't had time to check it out in detail, but what I saw was cool. Some of that stuff does look man-made. I wouldn't say it turns me on, but it gets my attention.

Here it is.

Has anybody here read; "1491: NEW REVELATIONS OF THE AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS", by Charles C. Mann? If so, is it worth buying? If not, do you plan to? It sounds very interesting to me.

The pictures are fuzzy so it is hard to tell. However, that grid in the middle of the ocean seems odd to account for via nature. "Nature abhors a vacuum" and it isn't too hot on right angles, either.
