Sunken City Found Off Of India

Raindeer writes "A city only known from old myths about seven pagodas and thought by Western scientists not have existed, was found off the coast of India. The myths speak of six temples submerged beneath the waves with the seventh temple still standing on the seashore. The myths also state that a large city once stood here which was so beautiful the gods became jealous and sent a flood that swallowed it up entirely in a single day. " With the purported discovery of a city off of Cuba, as well as the the finding of Herakleion underwater archaeology is doing well.

Sorry, your date is wrong. The earth is 6000-7000 years old, so the earliest country has to be less than 4000BC.

yeah, I mean look at George W... How could anyone ever think that Americans (or should that be people from the U.S.) were stupid!!!

I think you mean, "There are legends which speak of a person called christ who was born 2000 years ago". Unless you can provide some evidence for his existence? No, the bible doesn't count.

So you're saying the fact that there are several religions based on this supposed mythical person is not evidence in and of itself? In addition to the Bible there is also the historical account of Josephus which was published in Rome in 93 AD. For more info check out http://members.aol.com/FLJOSEPHUS/home.htm

There is also no country (in the "western" world anyway) which I am aware of which is as insular and generally unaware of the outside world as the US.

Don't be an idiot. I am really sick of Europeans who think "awareness of the outside world" means "can point to my hometown on a map." Jesus Christ. What, you know more about France than most Americans? Fantastic. I know more about Mexico than most Europeans. Big fucking deal. Can you all just get your head out of your collective asses and realize that the world does not revolve around you and your oh-so-important history and culture?

And by the way, this is coming from a person with a degree in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies who visits Europe as often as his budget allows.

Re:Gravity is 1% Less in India

How much is known about this anomaly? Granted, I know nothing about physics, and not too much more about gravity, but could the principles/physics found at this place not be applied to other things?

IMHO, things like transportation and launching spacecraft would be a lot easier if we were able to distort gravity. Think how much less of a problem SUVs (and even vehicles that people actually need because of the sheer size of them) would be on fuel consumption if they only had to move half the weight of the vehicle!

If this is simply a naturally occurring phenomenon, then with the right conditions, could it be reproduced?

If this is the lasting effect of a large spacecraft (yes I believe in aliens and UFOs) having crashed in that area, then first of all, we could probably stand to learn a thing or two about the technology that is disrupting our gravity, and second of all, that must be on hell of a power source to keep creating an anti-gravity field after such a long time.

Either way, this really reinforces my belief that we should be spending a lot more time exploring and learning more about our own planet before we push too hard to get to other planets.
