This is the underwater formation off Yonaguni-Jima. It's unquestionably a natural formation.


Harte, Why is it that you think the Yonaguni Structures to be a natural formation?
I dont think so. You can refer to the pics below, and anbody can associate the straight lines and smooth surfaces of the constructs to be of man made origin.
Why, there wads this ancient sea port found off the cost in Tamil Nadu in India, near Mahabalipuram, as a result of the Tsunami. They are also under the water, so why dont u classifyt them also to be a natural formation?

You may conmtinue to believe in the ancient city off Cuba if you wish, for the time being anyway.



Harte, this is where i or anyone would take offence. Do we need your permission 'for the time being ,anway' to continue believing in anything, be it the cuban underwater city or the man on the moon? Its actually an individual choice and perspective to believe in anything and that doesnt require any permission from anyone. Sorry, If i rub u the wrong way, couldn't help it, but respond!

For me, it simply doesn't make sense that it is man made. We've all seen the close-up underwater photos, but when you look at a 3D plan of the site you realise that it really doesn't look like anything. As in, you cannot imagine it being built for a human purpose.

I know there's erosion to take into account etc, but even when you visit some roman ruins with just the foundations left in the ground, you can see the layout and therefore basic purpose of the structure.

Not with the Yonaguni site. It has form, but it doesn't look like it has function.

Coredrill,

The site was investigated by a gaggle of pseudoscientists already.

All of them came away saying it was natural.

If the pseudoscientists say it's natural, when they have everything to gain by claiming it's man-made, then it's time to give it up.

Even Graham Hancock has stated that it's a natural formation. He and John Anthony West got Robert Schoch involved (the geophysicist that claimed the Sphinx was older based on erosion.) Schoch found that it was a natural formation.

These people all say that it's a natural formation that may have been utilized, even altered, by ancient humans. So what? I can find a rock in my backyard and make the same claim about it.

The surfaces you see in the photos appear very smooth only because the limestone underneath has been overgrown by the flora and fauna of the sea.

There's a report about this written by Schoch. You can find it on the web. A copy is at a site called The Morien Institute.

Besides all this, try to find some photos of Yonaguni. The island, which is much larger than this formation, was obviously above water when the formation was, right? If you look at the island itself, it's shaped very similarly to the "monument." I mean, there are right angles and smooth surfaces everywhere that the bedrock is exposed. This means that the island and the underwater formation have what geologists call the same "morphology." And that's due to them being made from the same rock formation - a limestone formation that has level horizontal layering and a large amount of almost perfectly vertical fissuring, or cracks.

This causes the rock to naturally break off into the shapes you claim are "obviously" man-made.

Lastly, if the island of Yonaguni was above water, and the "monument" was above water, then why isn't there any evidence at all of ancient occupation of the island of Yonaguni?

They've looked. Nothing there but some old tombs - far too recent to be from the era when the "monument" was dry.

As I recall, there was nothing ancient about this seaport at all.

I believe it was flooded in the 1700's or 1800's.

Was this the place with the legend of the seven temples? I mean, several of these temples were known to have existed and known to have been flooded.

The area is undergoing subduction due to tectonic activity.

Besides its artificiality, there is another archaeologically rather important aspect of the monument that looks obvious seeing the step structures with their combination of straight and non-straight angles: a similarity to the constructions in Peru, specifically Machu Picchu.

Edgar Cayce the Sleeping Prophet said that Atlantis would be discovered off Bimini Island. tlantic Ocena, off Florida.

His readings on Atlantis mention that it was a technologically advanced civilization, beyond out current science by his description.

Difficult to be objective about Cayce, when so many of his readings resulted in cures and are spot on today concerning nutrition.

He was poorly educated, fundamentalist Christian without the painful and boring bits, and had no notion whatever about such weird and wonderful things as Karma and Reincarnation, when a question asked of him elicited an answer that referred to a previous incarnation. This caused him huge difficulties, thinking that his hitherto innocuous readings on health were being invaded by non-kosher spirits or worse.

There is a foundation devoted to studying his readings and how to apply them for current curative purposes.

Sure. He also said that by the end of the 1950's China would be a Christian nation and that California would slide off under the Pacific Ocean (a physical impossibility.)

He lifted his entire Atlantis description (as well as his reincarnation con) from another fraud, Madame Blavatsky and her Theosophist Society.

None of Cayce's readings resulted in cures. Cayce said nothing more about nutrition than the nutritionists of his day were saying.

One of my favorite subjects. Everything I say below is just my theory (unless I state otherwise by providing some form of reference).

As far as I have been able to determine (and I have done lots of research including traveling to the site I am suggesting). The "Lost City of Atlantis" is buried beneath the ocean and considerable depths of lava/ash off the coast of Santarini (the Islands of Thira), Greece. Scientist have already determined that between 1500 and 1650 BC a volcano in the center of the island erupted, sinking the middle of the island into the ocean and basically transforming it into 3 smaller islands in a near circular pattern with the remains of the volcano (lava/ash) forming a fourth island in the center.

According to Plato there where actually two parts to the "Atlantean Empire". It is my belief that the second was located on what is now the island of Crete (Creta), Greece/Turkey (it has been disputed territory for hundreds or maybe even thousands of years). Scientists believe that said volcano (from paragraph above) caused a massive tsunami that swept south through the sea and rolled over the Island of Crete some 100 feet in the air. Thus destroying the other part of the Empire.

Recently there have been possible Atlantean relics discovered on Crete and sonar testing has been done in Fira (Thira) that shows what appears to be an entire city (buildings still standing) buried beneath the ocean and lava/ash. Additionally remains of an ancient "Minoan" City have been partially excavated on the island of Santarini. Scientists believe this city was populated up until the volcano erupted 3500 years ago. Personally I believe this was actually where the farmers, peasants, or what ever you which to call them lived. The level of technology in this city is astounding. There where twin pipe systems carrying cold and hot water to almost every building in the city. There where "water closets" that stored hot water, presumably for things like showers. There where two and three story buildings through out the city. There is even evidence of sewage systems, piped heating systems, etc. I firmly believe this was either part of the Atlantean Empire or was highly inspired and assisted by them.

Wikipedia has a rather interesting article on this Island and to the best of my knowledge it is accurate. Except for there claim that the "ancient city" of Akrotiri (the one I refered to above) is closed to tourists since 2005 because the canopy over it collapsed. Yes the canopy did collapse but I was there in October, 2006 and it was very much open to the public and you will find a few pictures of the city in the link below.

I have pictures from the Island of Santarini (Thira) on Picassa Web Albums located here!

'Most of the rest of the world' hasn't been considered to be Atlantis, either. And a negative can be proven.

It's always easier to say something doesn't exist, instead of actually looking into it. There is no proof God exists, but still vast amount of people believe he does.

2. The lost city of Atlantis is a city. You are not a city. Therefore you are not the lost city of Atlantis.

You see, the mistake you have made is assuming that saying that something can be proven to not be somethign else is the same as proving a negative. It is easy to prove that Atlantis is not in one place or another on the world. It is easy to prove that Atlantis does not exist. That is not proving a negative - I could rephrase it to say that "I can prove that Atlantis is a fictional construct". That phrasing make it into proving a positive, since it is phrased as one.

It isn't a mistake. You're eliding one step. To prove something is not something else, you must first, de facto, prove it is not the first thing, which is proving a negative. Then there is a second step in affirming it is something else. In your example No. 1, for instance, you haven't actually proved you're not an animated character, you just sort of say it; in No. 2 you haven't proved I'm not a city.

Conversely, you could prove the opposite of the given statement, which would be proving a positive, and then go on to prove the two things aren't mutually exclusive. But that's also a two-step process.

This sort of process is used all the time by pseudo-scientists and pseudo-historians to "prove" their hum-buggery, but it ultimate involves hoodwinking the reader and trusting to their credibility. Ot ignorance.

Ok - let's prove you are not a city:
First off let's define the concept of "City" as a place where multiple sentient human beings live in a society that includes a form of barter (Whether directly or indirectly through a monetary system). We shoudl also further define a "City" as having to be of a certain size (Otherwise we run into the problem of calling a village a city, for instance). So let's say that a city needs at least 1,000 people living inside the borders of it (Borders which are defined as encircling all the buildings and residences of people who consider themselves to be part of the city).

So, let's see.... Let's count you. One. Since you are one person, you are not a city.

Since I just did the impossible, perhaps you can do the possible for me - prove that you ARE a city.

And the whole idea that there is no "proof" in the real world? - Depends on how you define proof. If you define it as evidence that leaves no other explanation, you are right. If you define it as a logical/mathematical system, then they certainly do exist.

And the normal process of proving that one thing is not another would be to prove that it IS the first thing (Meaning that in a binary, either/or system, it is not the other thing). Therefore, your statement that the first step is to prove it is not the other thing is also flawed.

Think on this - any logical proof is based on tryign to "Prove" (Logically) a certain outcome. Since any outcome automatically means that other outcomes are not reached, a logical proof by definitiion leads to negatives - eg: "It is this, not that".

Here's an interesting take on the history of Atlantis....

The Illuminati... seem to have their finger in every pie... happy.gif

QUOTE
http://www.burlingtonnews.net/leumurian1.html
The Illumaniti American Organization, The Leumurian Fellowship, says that an extraterrestrial race from Venus, known as the Kumaras, were the leaders of the Lemurian civilisation. The Fellowship says the Kumaras created a Mystery School to initiate chosen people into the advanced esoteric knowledge. It was structured with 13 schools (levels of initiation), each on more advanced then the other. Each has to go through all the schools of initiation. After passing the 13th , one is allowed to go on to teach the knowledge of the Brotherhood of the Snake or Serpent.

Atlantis and Lemuria existed for hundreds of thousands of years and Atlantas broke up in staghes over a long period before the final destruction. Both cultures expanded across the world with their priests and 'royal' bloodlines or 'Dragon Kings...or as some people call 'Shepherd Kings', founding colonies in all parts of the globe spreading the Serpent Stories. Sacred sites were placed on the vortex poins on the global energy grid. This is a web of force lines, known as ley lines or meridians, which encircle or interpenetrate the palnet. When these lines cross it creates a spiralling vortex of energy and the mor lines that cross, the bigger the vortex. The grid is geometrical and the vortex points are in geometrical relationship to each other.



Practically all of the gods of Greece are of a northern origin, originating in Lemuria toward the end of the Third Race after its physical evolution was completed. The Fourth Race is, with Hesiod, that of the heroes who fell before Thebes, or under the walls of Troy. The Trojan War, therefore, although an historical event of some 6,000 years ago, was also a symbol of other events which took place upon the continent of Atlantis. The Atlanteans developed from a nucleus of northern Lemurian men, centered, roughly speaking, toward a point of land which is now in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The early Atlanteans were three-eyed, having two in front and a third eye at the back of the head. The Greeks preserved the record of this race in a statue of the three-eyed Zeus, discovered in the Acropolis of Argos and believed to be the oldest statue ever found in Greece. See Red Haired Mummies of Egypt

At the height of their civilization the Atlanteans were giants both in body and in intellect, and were greater scientists than those of the present day. For one thing, they had aeroplanes which were operated by solar force. Homer's vessels "going without sails or oars" refers to them, as does the myth of Icarus, who was warned by his father Daedalus to fly

...nor low, nor high,
If low, thy plumes may flag the ocean's spray,
If high, the sun may dart his fiery ray.



Unfortunately for their own future, the Atlanteans turned their knowledge to negative and material l uses. Many modern practices such as vivisection, blood transfusion, the transplanting of animal glands to human bodies -- even the craze for personal wealth and power --
In direct defiace of nature, The Atlanteans used their knowledge for warfare, which resulted in the catastrophic submergence of their continent which was felt around the word as can be evidenced by the great deluge stories around the world in all cultures.



The Greeks preserved the tradition of the sinking of Atlantis in the myth of Deucalion. The legend says that after the fourth race had passed its apex of development, a change occurred in men. Modesty, truth and honor fled, and in their place came crime, fraud, cunning and the wicked love of gain. Seeing the condition into which the earth had fallen, Jupiter determined to destroy it and form a new land where men would have fresh opportunities to live a virtuous life. So the waters came and covered the land, leaving only Mount Olympus above the waves. There Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha found shelter, and from them sprang the new, fifth race. * Christians have the same story found in Genesis in the Accounts of Noah and the Flood.

As much as I'd like to watch Wookie squirm in proving negatives, I'll just point out that this has strayed somewhat off-topic.
Perhaps Wookie has some other, slightly more compelling reasons for Atlantis not be fiction?

Actually, my take on Atlantis is that it was fiction that Plato created to make a point and that has been taken way to literally since. I'm sure there are many cities around the world that have been buried by Volcanoes/floods/earthquakes/etc.... But that doesn't exactly lend any credence to the story of Atlantis.

Please prove that you are not an animated character.

Also, please prove that Mickey Mouse is an animated character.
Please prove that Atlantis is a city. Please prove that a city cannot post on this website. Please prove that Jaylemurph is not in fact the City of Jaylemurph.
You nonmathematical types need to stop using the word "proof."

I must have said this a thousand times here at U-M.

There is NO proof in the real world. Only evidence for, evidence against or no evidence either way.

That is all there is. Anything else you might claim is just a bunch of fluff.

Let's make a definition of "Animated Character", shall we? Let's call an animated character a being that lives in a two dimensional world, that is created by the skilled application of pen/pencil on some form of writing material or a collection of bits that form a coherent shape on a computer screen. We should also go further and state that an animated character follows the script provided to him by non-animated characters.

Since Mickey Mouse meets these requirements, we can say with a great amount of certainty that he is a animated character.

Since I meet none of those requirements, I can say with a great amount of certainty that I am not an animated character.

As for proving that a city cannot post on this website, refer to my earlier definition of "City". Since the definition does not allow one to determine whether or not a city can respond to a post, there is no ability to say that a city cannot post. However, when posting, the poster presents him or her self as a single being. Since the definition states that a city is made up of multiple people, the poster is not a city - what is behind the post can be one or more people, but within the confines of cyberspace, it is a single entity.

And, by the way, I have yet to see you actually respond to me.

Wookie --

Like I said, I'm not going to engage in a discussion of logic with you any more because I don't think it's appropriate for several reasons (not the least of which is your lack of knowledge on the subject). If you want to know what I think about Atlantis, you can look around the several threads on this forum.
