I'm curious as to what you all think is out there yet to be discovered. For example, does ANYONE think that there will be any new caves discovered in France that have cave paintings in them? Or everlasting lamps, or whatever? Do you really think that, for example, Zahi Hawass has NOT done his utmost to discover if there really is, indeed, a "secret chamber" under/near the Sphinx?

I have always wondered what may be at the bottom of the deepest ocean. The pressure at the deepest part has probably never even been explored.

Lol where to start.

I believe there are so many things we still have to discover. I always wanted for the lost city of Atlantis to be found, would be so cool. I would also love to see the deepest parts of the Ocean Explored more. They find new species on every new trip they make, we have so very little of the worlds waters discovered. As for things on land, I'm not even sure. Secret passageways in the Pyramids that lead to Alien proof? laugh.gif I would also love that flying cars would be made, or that we would discover how to reach light speed. Still, Ocean needs to be explored more, the fish and other things down there are really really cool yes.gif

There is quite posiblly far more yet to be discovered than has been found.
Certainly in the number of items this is true but it may well apply to the size
of the items as well. A lot of the very old sites are almost invisable with cur-
rent technology but in time there will be more ability to find more subtle clues.

There is a lot of change happening all the time. In many places even the Great
Pyramid would have collapsed and become hidden or buried.

Perhaps more importantly is that as more is learned there will be more real
science and less speculation about things that have already been studied. New
finds will be more easily understood and more information will come out of them.

If the ice caps continue to melt, you might have the chance to find out if there really is a lost city of Cthulu in Antarctica (*smiles innocently ... )

Antarctica is under a mile of ice; it'll be a long time before that happens.

I think whole heartedly that there is way more yet to be discovered than what we have already found. Logically, there are so many things we have discovered that can't be deciphered, or are unexplained, that we have to assume that they are just a little puzzle piece that fits into a much larger picture, of which the majority hasn't been discovered yet.


So, kids...start diggin up your backyards...we need more puzzle pieces! thumbsup.gif

I honestly believe that there is far more discovered than has been disclosed. Somethings are just not meant for public eyes.

I think I'll have to wait on the permit for that one... but my doggie has a big head start. yes.gif

Not only do we have countless little "puzzle pieces" to discover, but even recently they've discovered a gigantic ocean under Asia that nobody even imagined existed! How cool is that?!
isis-999
They have yet to find all the tomb's in egypt and as one poster said the ocean's hold a fast amount of knowledge we have yet to discover...I think we still have a huge amount of history to uncover....
Robert M. Blevins
Oh, heck...there is plenty left to discover!

What we actually know for certain about the world and the universe can be compared to a couple of ants sitting on top on their anthill in the middle of the Sahara. Imagine the two ants discussing what the rest of the world may be like... That scenario is man trying to explain the universe, and our purpose here.

I think the big question, the ultimate question would be: Are We Alone in The Universe? Perhaps we can discover the answer here on Earth, or maybe we'll have to find it out there... wink2.gif

I read the earlier post about the 'deepest part of the ocean'. Sorry, that's been done already. I think it was the Marianas Trench (?) We've been there, done that, as they say.
isis-999
I think we still have not found all of what the ocean's hold so i still have to agree with the poster before me....But the point you made about if we are alone is a very good one....I think that's a question we are going to try to find a answer to for a long time yet....
Owlscrying

i too believe are vast underwater "oases' science has no where near gotten close to,
also as ice caps melt - shifting will create openings to even more unknown territory of yet unnamed species of inhabitants in these arctic depths--
Clocker
Just look at South America for example...the way they found that Maya city in Guatemala only on their third visit. It was under the bushes/trees, which the explorers thought to be solid ground. South American jungles alone most likely cover a whole lot of ruins for us to uncover. Hopefully we won't destroy the beautiful nature of those regions in the process though :S South America is just one example...like so many people have said, there's probably a lot more that we don't know, than there is what we know. We humans just tend to be arrogant and egotistical enough to think we know everything there is to know about this and that.

Yes it is the Mariana trench and i believe that was done in 1970 or 65.

As for whats left to discover i believe Antarctica hold hundreds of fossils from all sort of creatures, perhaps some new dinosaurs. cool.gif

i want them to discover why some people are so stupid that they still beleive people came from monkeys... even though every skeleton that they have found has been proven to be a fake... lol...

and the fact that there aren't any intermediate species alive between man and monkey...

New species of big cat discoveredBy Robert Evans in Geneva
March 14, 2007 10:30pm

SCIENTISTS have identified a leopard found on the South-East Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra as a new species of great cat, the global nature protection body WWF reported today.

Genetic and skin tests on the creature, now dubbed the Bornean clouded leopard, or Neofelis diardi, have shown that it is almost as different from clouded leopards found on the Asian mainland as lions are from tigers, the Swiss-based WWF said.

New frog species discovered
March 14, 2007 03:11pm

A NEW species of frog has been discovered in Western Australia.

The chattering rock frog was found in the Kimberley region by scientists documenting biodiversity ahead of the arrival of the cane toad.

WA Museum herpetologist Paul Doughty and Sydney based tadpole expert Marian Anstis discovered the frog near the Grotto, a waterhole near the East Kimberley town of Wyndham.

Dr Doughty said today the frog was the first new species from the region to be described in 20 years.

WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) -- A team of U.S. and Chinese paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 125 million years ago in China.

The researchers say the discovery also provides first-hand evidence of early evolution of the mammalian middle ear -- one of the most important features for modern mammals.

'This early mammalian ear from China is a Rosetta stone type of discovery which reinforces the idea that development of complex body parts can be explained by evolution, using exquisitely preserved fossils,' said H. Richard Lane of the U.S. National Science Foundation, which funded the research.

Named Yanoconodon allini after the Yan Mountains in China`s Hebei province, the fossil is the first Mesozoic Era mammal recovered from Hebei. The fossil site is about 190 miles from Beijing.

The researchers say the skull of Yanoconodon revealed a middle ear structure that is an intermediate step between those of modern mammals and those of near relatives of mammals, also known as mammaliaforms.

The discovery is reported in the current issue of the journal Nature.

we did evolve from 'monkeys' - it's logical. it's why are some people are too stupid to see that ?

every skeleton fake? what propaganda are you reading?

Ethiopian fossils link ape-men with earlier hominids

By Robert Sanders, Media Relations | 12 April 2006

BERKELEY – New fossils discovered in the Afar desert of eastern Ethiopia are a missing link between our ape-man ancestors some 3.5 million years ago and more primitive hominids a million years older, according to an international team led by the University of California, Berkeley, and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

The fossils are from the most primitive species of Australopithecus, known as Au. anamensis, and date from about 4.1 million years ago, said Tim White, a UC Berkeley professor of integrative biology and one of the team's leaders. The hominid Australopithecus has often been called an ape-man because, though short-statured, small-brained and big-toothed, it walked on two legs unlike the great apes.

More primitive hominids in the genus Ardipithecus date from between 4.4 million and 7 million years ago and were much more ape-like, though they, too, walked on two legs.

"This new discovery closes the gap between the fully blown Australopithecines and earlier forms we call Ardipithecus," White said. "We now know where Australopithecus came from before 4 million years ago."

think of it like counting - 1,2,3,5,6,...... 4 is missing but that doesn't mean you can't use logic to fill the gap.

Most of the planet's oceans are very dark. At a depth of 150 meters (approx. 500 feet), there is little if any light left, and colors are no longer visible to the human eye. As odd as it may seem, we know more about outer space than we do about the deep oceans of our own planet.

We know what we know. We don't know what we don't know. Ergo, we don't know how much we don't know. And only The Shadow knows what lurks in the hearts of men.

I think everyone is right.

The Ocean
The South American Jugles
Outer Space
The Chamber under The Sphinx

That's about it. Well that's all I can think of.

I agree, except I don't know about The Shadow! How can we even speculate about what is left to discover. The changing geology of the earth, and the environment of the earth; plants, water, etc., means many things are still hidden from our view. We have enough trouble finding things that are proven to have existed, let alone finding things that we have no knowledge of. There is so much of this world that no one has really taken a close look at. We can't glance over something and believe that we have truly exhausted the potential for the discovery of new things.

I hear they have just discovered the room under the Sphinx, they say it may be a 'Hall of Records.' What I think needs to be done is not more discoveries but to piece together the discoveries that are already here. And if the room they have discovered under the Sphinx is a Hall of Records, we might have found a few answers.
