Question Mr. Salier,
I believe that I have discovered an underwater city of vast proportions on Google Earth. Apparently so ancient, normal geological formations have partially obscured it. Before you delete this, you should know that this site is easily accessible on G.E. if someone would only take a moment.
Question: To whom would I tell this to with the interest/ability to investigate it further? I'm an ex-cop; a skeptic-but I know what I found...Sincere Thanks, Steve
Answer Hi Steve,
Although it is within the realm of possibility and we know of several sites of cities that have been submerged due to tectonic movements most are costal in nature. I would love to know what your coordinates are on GE and take a look for my self if you are willing to provide this to me and I will give you my view and impression. If it is something that needs to be explored, I will place you in touch with an archaeologist who works in that area. How would that work out for you?
And by the way, as an archaeologist, I have worked with satellite images, color enhanced images, radar images and many other types of imagery looking for sites both on land and in water. So, it is possible that you have found something after all there are a lot more amateurs out there then professionals and over the many years of working as an archaeologist, most sites are found by dedicated amateurs like yourself. So, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
