A decades-long scientific mystery may have finally been solved. Some Antarctic icebergs are an odd emerald green color instead of the normal blue tinge and scientists have suggested a new theory as to why they look that way.

Ice absorbs more red light than blue light and that’s why they appear as a blue color. While most of them look blue or white while they are in the seawater, many people over the years have seen these oddly colored icebergs. Even sailors and explorers from the early 1900s have reported witnessing strange colored green icebergs around Antarctica.

A green iceberg floats in the Wendell Sea in 1985. Green icebergs’ unusual color has long perplexed researchers.

AGU/JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: OCEANS/KIPFSTUHL ET AL 1992

While green icebergs have captured the curiosity of scientists for several decades, glaciologists conducted new studies which lead them to believe that iron oxides that’s in rock dust from Antarctica’s mainland is what’s turning the icebergs a green color. Australian researchers found huge amounts of iron in East Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf and that’s how the theory got started.

Interestingly, iron is a very important nutrient for phytoplankton which is a microscopic plant that’s at the base of the marine food chain. While iron is very limited in quite a few areas of the ocean, if this new discovery of iron in some icebergs proves to be true, it would be an extremely important benefit for marine life.

According to Stephen Warren, who is a glaciologist at the University of Washington, “It’s like taking a package to the post office. The iceberg can deliver this iron out into the ocean far away, and then melt and deliver it to the phytoplankton that can use it as a nutrient,” adding, We always thought green icebergs were just an exotic curiosity, but now we think they may actually be important.”

Icebergs break off of glaciers and ice shelves that extend out into the sea. Normal glacier ice is created when several layers of snow build up and eventually harden up, meaning that it has air pockets that light reflects off of. However, some icebergs in Antarctica contain a layer of marine ice which is water from the ocean that has frozen to the bottom of an overhanging ice shelf. Since marine ice doesn’t have any air pockets that reflect light, it is darker and much clearer than glacier ice. When Warren and his colleagues studied the green icebergs, they noticed that the green areas were in fact made up of marine ice instead of glacier ice.

Iceberg in Antarctica

Iron oxides that are found in soil, common rust, and rocks typically have warm, earthy colors such as yellow, orange, brown, and red. That’s why Warren was thinking that the iron oxides in the marine ice were turning the blue ice into a green color.

When glaciers move over bedrock, the rocks end up grinding into a very fine powder called glacier flour that ends up going into the ocean. The pieces of rock dust could then become part of the marine ice if it gets trapped under an ice shelf.

Warren, along with iron researchers from Australia are now planning to sample different colored icebergs in order to find out exactly how much iron they contain as well as how much light they reflect. If their theory is proven, that would be a huge discovery in regards to the study of icebergs, especially since iron is such an important and beneficial nutrient to marine life.

With new and advanced space technology, humans tend to feel more protected and not as scared if an asteroid was to ever threaten Earth. That’s because we believe that advanced technology allows us to be able to smash an asteroid into tiny pieces in order to protect our planet. However, new research indicates that blowing up an asteroid may not be as easy as we once thought.

In the early 2000s, a team of researchers conducted an experiment where they created a computer model of a simulated asteroid with a diameter of around one kilometer smashing head-first into a target asteroid with a diameter of 25 kilometers with a five kilometer per second impact velocity. Their results showed that the asteroid would have been totally destroyed.

However, newly conducted research by a new team suggests that after an asteroid is hit, its gravity would be so powerful that it would be able pull the destroyed pieces back together. After the impact, millions of cracks would form, pieces would fly off, and a crater would appear on the asteroid. After studying the cracks and predicting how they would multiply and move throughout the asteroid, they found that the entire body would not have broken up. They instead noticed that it had a huge damaged core that had such a powerful gravitation pull that the broken pieces would have been pulled back in. This means that the asteroid would need to be hit with a much stronger force than previously thought.

Charles El Mir, who is a doctoral graduate at Johns Hopkins University, explained in a statement, “It may sound like science fiction but a great deal of research considers asteroid collisions.” He went on to say, “For example, if there’s an asteroid coming at Earth, are we better off breaking it into small pieces, or nudging it to go a different direction? And if the latter, how much force should we hit it with to move it away without causing it to break? These are actual questions under consideration.”

While scientists don’t have much information about the interior structure of asteroids, they once believed that the bigger it was, the easier it would be to destroy, but they now think differently. “We used to believe that the larger the object, the more easily it would break, because bigger objects are more likely to have flaws,” El Mir explained, “Our findings, however, show that asteroids are stronger than we used to think and require more energy to be completely shattered.”

A top defensive idea has always been to knock an incoming asteroid off course or obliterate it.

Farscape Actress Confesses Her Belief In The Existence Of Aliens On Twitter, March 2019, UFO Sighting News.

I Tweeted to Farscape actress Gigi Edgley this week asking if she has ever seen a UFO before. She replied but only said, "I defiantly believe we are not alone :) "

Since she was from Australia I was thinking that she may have caught a sighting of a UFO sometime in her life, but being an actress, most of her time is probably spent indoors. I was wondering if she was ever inspired by UFO sighting and wondered how it may have influenced her role on Farscape, be she didn't reveal that to me. Very cool she answered me. The Farscape sci-fi series is one of the greatest space adventures of our time. The show includes bio-mechanical living ships, multi species crews, aliens that even Star Wars directors couldn't think up and a script that unbeatable. Check it out sometime.

Ancient Alien Faces On Mars In NASA Rover Photo, 100% Real!March 2019, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: March 7, 2019
Location of discovery: Mars
Source photo: 

• http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/214460
  

I was totally blown away while making this video below. I found that not only was there one alien human like face, but there was actually dozens of other giant artefacts that I had not noticed before. There were several large faces on the top of the hill, most looking out or up at the sky. This tells me they were all placed there on purpose. None were upside or fallen over. 

I also found a cyborg face. I have never found a half tech half alien face before so this was very unexpected and exciting. It means that alien on Mars did integrate technology into themselves, not just around them, but in them. 

The size of the ancient artefacts and the huge number of them in this photo really blew me away. At first when I looked at the photo, it looked boring and empty, but on closer inspection I found a flood of evidence that Mars once had a thriving intelligent culture on it.

Amazing footage of a cigar-shaped UFO over North Carolina

This really interesting footage was filmed on 25th January 2019 near Greensboro in North Carolina.

Witness report: 

Yesterday while walking around outside looking for birds to film and photograph I noticed a strange flashing light in the sky near an airplane. It was moving slowly in the sky, a little slower than the planes flying around. I could see the random flashing coming from the object for about 10 seconds. I tried to film it with my camera. Using my GH5 and Leica 100-400mm lens I was able to grab a few frames of the object. I did not think I captured it at all because the focus would only hunt and not lock on.

When I got inside and checked the footage I was blown away by what I saw. I have no idea what this object is. It is pill shaped with bullet headed ends. This is in rural North Carolina just outside of Greensboro. Enjoy the video and let me know if you have any idea as to what this object is.

Archaeology On Mars - From The Fantastical To The Real

David Anderson

Contributor

Rover and Pyramids on Mars

GETTY

NASA’s Martian rover Opportunity breathed its last digital gasp this week. What was a busy scurrying robot picking over and investigating the Martian landscape is now a slowly decaying pile of metal and circuitry. That is to say, Opportunity has entered my world, the world of abandoned things that is archaeology.

Humans have been dreaming about Martian archaeology for well over a century now. When the Italian Astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli described seeing canali on the surface of the red planet in 1877, many in the English-speaking world began to speculate that Schiaparelli was referring to artificially constructed canals. Percival Lowell became the largest champion of this interpretation. In his 1895 book “Mars,” Lowell claimed that the canals of Mars had been built by a desperate alien race seeking to salvage what water they could from the planet’s melting ice caps.

A drawing by Percival Lowell (1896) depicting "canals" and dark areas on Mars.

GETTY

As telescopes continued to improve, the Martian canals evaporated as quickly as the water they were meant to contain, but Mars’ association with fantastical archaeology was only beginning. In an 1898 science fiction novel, “Edison’s Conquest of Mars,” author Garrett P. Serviss told of a human expedition to the Red Planet that was sent as a counter strike against the Martian invaders depicted in H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” (which was plagiarized by Serviss in his own book “Fighters from Mars”). During the assault on Mars, the invaders encountered an encampment of human slaves whose ancestors had been captured in a Martian raid on Earth 9,000 years earlier. These slaves related a great secret to their liberators, when visiting Earth the Martians had built the Great Pyramid of Egypt along with the Sphinx.

As the era of Pulp Fiction boomed, stories of the inhabitants of Mars abounded. Most successful were Edgar Rice Burroughs’ stories about the adventures of John Carter, a Civil War veteran who magically found himself on the surface of Mars. Carter encountered a Martian landscape filled with fantastical cities and alien races. The theme of ancient ruins on Mars continued to echo as Burroughs’ hero regularly found himself in long abandoned cities.

Martian ruins took on a decidedly more sinister appearance in, noted Weird Tales author, Clark Ashton Smith’s 1932 story “The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis,” which tells the story of human archaeologists visiting an ancient Martian city. As the archaeologists approached the tumbled monoliths, the story’s narrator proclaims “I have seen the hoary, sky-confronting walls of Machu Picchu amid the desolate Andes; and the frozen, giant-builded battlements of Uogam on the glacial tundras of the nightward hemisphere of Venus. But these were as things of yesteryear compared to the walls upon which we gazed.” Without revealing the ending, it should be noted that the archaeologists do not fare well when they pass within these ancient walls.

In the ensuing decades, it seemed ever clearer that Lowell’s dreams of an ancient Martian race building canals and other structures across the planet was best left to fiction, but in 1976 NASA’s Viking 1 orbiter arrived in Martian orbit and the planet’s story shifted yet again. Among the pictures sent back to Earth by Viking 1 was a photograph of a region of Mars known as Cydonia, which included a massive geological feature that appeared to resemble a humanoid face. Controversy swirled as NASA officials insisted the face was simply a geological oddity, while others began to speculate that at long last Martian monuments had been found.

Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar lead the charge in proclaiming the importance of Cydonia to the public. Together they authored “Face in Space,” an article for Omni Magazine (April, 1982), as well as a book, “Unusual Martian Surface Features,” which argued that the Cydonia photos revealed not only a monumental sculpted face but also pyramids and other artificial structures.  DiPietro and Molenaar attracted a great deal of attention with their claims, but ultimately it was a difficult case to prove. People either believed the official NASA statements that these were simply natural features, or they indulged their itch for conspiracy and imagined that perhaps Mars had been home to an ancient race.

As NASA began carrying out more missions to Mars, many eagerly waited to see what new images might come from Cydonia. Finally, in 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor sent back a high-resolution image of the “Martian Face.”  To the disappointment of many, the face had faded to a simple rocky outcrop. The structure was photographed again in 2007 by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, further dashing our hopes and dreams for an ancient Martian monument as the rocky ridges and eroded slopes came into ever clearer resolution.

HiRISE captured this image (PSP_003234_2210) of an eroded mesa made famous by its similarity to a human face in a Viking Orbiter image with much lower spatial resolution and a different lighting geometry.

Yet all along this journey, the Martian landscape has become populated by actual human-made objects. Fourteen separate missions from four different space agencies have littered the surface of Mars with not only landers and rovers, but heat shields, parachutes, and an untold number of broken bits.  As an archaeologist, I love broken bits.

The things that people make and leave behind tell a different story than written history. A physical examination of landing sites on Mars would reveal critical details about why some landers arrived safely while others crashed to never be heard from again. Even the crashed landers tell a story of human triumph and ingenuity. One day, an astronaut will walk up to the original Viking 1 lander and marvel at the accomplishments of their ancestors. The material heritage we are currently scattering across the Martian surface will stand for centuries to come as a symbol of what we as human beings can do.

Sleep well Opportunity, we will see you soon!

30-million-page archive of humanity's achievements headed to the Moon

By Christopher Carbone | Fox News

Israel’s Moon landing mission is set

Israel is planning its first mission to the moon. The launch is scheduled for April 11th.

Tucked away inside Israel’s Beresheet lunar lander, currently on its way to the Moon, is a massive archive documenting humanity’s achievements.

The collection of images, text and symbols is the first part of a project to build a “Lunar Library” and part of a bigger push to create a space-based archive of Earth.

According to the Arch Mission Foundation (AMF), the library contains 30 million pages of human history that covers a wide range of subjects, languages and time periods, all stored on a DVD-sized archive made of 25 nickel discs that are each only 40 microns thick. An 84-page document that AMF provided to Gizmodo showed subject categories in the time capsule including aerospace, mathematics, women's studies, humor and criminology.

The first four layers contain over 60,000 analog images of pages of books, photos, illustrations and documents, AMF explained. Among the included items will be a copy of The World Factbook.

When Gizmodo asked why the full list of contents was not being released, the AMF toldthe news outlet:

"We’re only announcing some of the content in the library right now because of the various partnerships we have. Much more content will be revealed. ... Rather than rely on problematic curations of material, we want to include the full breadth and diversity of recorded human knowledge and culture and a record of the life and civilization of planet Earth."

There will be more discs sent to the Moon in the coming years, including in partnership with Astrobotic next year.

The Beresheet lander was launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and could reach the Moon by April 11. The lander and its time capsule will remain on the Moon indefinitely.

The Moon looms large for a number of countries’ space programs. China, for example, recently became the first country to successfully land a probe on the far side of the Moon when the Chang’e 4 lander reached the lunar surface on Jan. 2.

Kepler Space Telescope's 1st Exoplanet Candidate Finally Confirmed

By Mike Wall 

An artist's illustration of a Kepler-1658-like system. Kepler-1658b, which orbits its host star every 3.8 Earth days, was the first exoplanet candidate discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope nearly 10 years ago.

The first exoplanet candidate ever detected by NASA's late and lamented Kepler space telescope has finally been confirmed, 10 years after the iconic instrument's launch.

The candidate, known as KOI (Kepler Object of Interest) 4.01, was originally pegged as a possible Neptune-size planet orbiting a star a smidge bigger than our sun. KOI 4.01 was dismissed by some scientists as a false positive, however, after certain Kepler observations didn't accord with this scenario. 

Specifically, Kepler saw a pronounced "secondary eclipse" in the system — a significant drop in total light caused when the candidate went behind the host star from the telescope's perspective. A Neptune-size world orbiting a sunlike star would not produce an observable secondary eclipse, astronomers said.

But a new look at archival Kepler observations has forced a rethink about the star, which is known as Kepler-1658 and lies about 2,600 light-years from the sun.

"Our new analysis, which uses stellar sound waves observed in the Kepler data to characterize the host star, demonstrated that the star is in fact three times larger than previously thought," Ashley Chontos, a graduate student at the University of Hawaii, said in a statement.

"This, in turn, means that the planet is three times larger, revealing that Kepler-1658b is actually a hot Jupiter-like planet," added Chontos, lead author of a new study announcing the world's confirmation, which was presented today (March 5) at the Kepler/K2 Science Conference in Glendale, California.

The study has also been accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal. You can read a free preprint of it here.

Kepler-1658b — for that is now the world's official name — zips around its host star in an incredibly tight orbit, completing one lap every 3.8 Earth days. If you were in a plane cruising through Kepler-1648b's skies, and you somehow managed to avoid incineration, that star would appear 60 times bigger than our sun does from Earth's surface, discovery team members said.

Kepler-1658 is a future version of our own star. It's rare to find planets orbiting such "evolved" stars, discovery team members said. One possible reason is that hot Jupiters eventually spiral into their host stars. But the new observations suggest that such death plunges occur over longer time spans than previously thought, adding to the mystery. 

"Kepler-1658 is a perfect example of why a better understanding of host stars of exoplanets is so important," Chontos said. "It also tells us that there are many treasures left to be found in the Kepler data."

Kepler launched into orbit around the sun on March 6, 2009. The spacecraft spotted planets by noticing the tiny brightness dips caused when these worlds crossed their stars' faces from the telescope's perspective.

Kepler did this work across two missions: its primary one, which ended in 2013, and a second, broader mission known as K2, which ended this past October when the spacecraft ran out of fuel.

Kepler's work has been incredibly productive. The spacecraft is responsible for nearly 70 percent of the roughly 3,900 exoplanet discoveries to date. And, as the new study indicates, Kepler finds will continue to roll in even though the spacecraft has shut its eyes. 

Indeed, nearly 3,000 candidates spotted during the original and K2 missions await confirmation by follow-up analyses or observations.

And, in case you were wondering why the first Kepler exoplanet candidate was called KOI 4.01: KOIs 1.01, 2.01 and 3.01 were known prior to the telescope's launch.

NASA puts InSight experiment on hold because one stubborn rock is blocking their instruments

 BY ALEXANDRU MICU

A key instrument on NASA’s Mars InSight rover has run into a problem — ground control suspects a stone.

A rendering of a InSight Mission Candidate Landing Site made using topography data from the University of Arizona / NASA/.
Image credits Kevin Gill / Flickr.

The rover’s heat probe has struck an obstacle just below the red planet’s surface over the weekend and hasn’t been able to make progress since.

The Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package Problem

“The team has therefore decided to pause the hammering for about two weeks to allow the situation to be analyzed more closely and jointly come up with strategies for overcoming the obstacle,” Tilman Spohn, the principal investigator for the heat probe, wrote Tuesday in the mission logbook.

The instrument, known as the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package, or HP³, was designed to hammer itself 16 feet (roughly 5 meters) into Mars’ underground and measure how much heat its interior leaks. This data would help researchers estimate the planet’s composition and history.

However, trouble is brewing underneath InSight — this probe (nicknamed the “mole”) encountered some kind of resistance underground over the weekend and hasn’t been able to make any progress since. Ground control (at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, California) first tried to power it up last week. This first attempt failed to reach all the way to the Mars Odyssey orbiter, however, which was supposed to pass it on to InSight.

The mole was deployed last Thursday, after the team established a stable connection to the rover. It pushed its way in the red soil and made quick progress. For about five minutes. The next four hours of hammering failed to push the mole much deeper and eventually forced the device to one side — the mole is now lodged in the underground, leaning at about 15 degrees of vertical.

Artist’s concept of InSight and its instruments.
Image credits NASA / JPL-Caltech.

Current estimates place the mole at a depth of around one foot (0.3 meters). This means that the probe — measuring some 16 inches (0.4 meters) in height — is partially sticking out of the ground. Despite this, the probe likely still is burrowed “deeper than any other scoop, drill or probe on Mars before,” which was its intended purpose.

Spohn writes that the team is a bit worried but that they “tend to be optimistic.” They’re currently working on the assumption that the holdup is a buried boulder or some gravel.

This particular spot was picked for InSight to land on as it appeared to be mostly sandy and soft. However, the team was aware that such a holdup was possible. Tests carried out at JPL suggested that the probe should be able to dig its way around small rocks or layers of pebbles. Since the second attempt to hammer away at the probe didn’t do that, the team decided to put the mole on hold. They’re currently waiting to receive more data from InSight, including pictures, so they can “better assess the situation.”

But not all is lost. The probe is still intact — that’s a really good thing — so it can actually start collecting data. The team has already put it to the task. HP³ will measure how quickly a generated pulse of heat spreads through the soil. Later this week, as (Mars’ moon) Phobos passes overhead and eclipse the sun over InSight the probe will also track how the event changes surface temperatures. While not its intended role, these readings should help the team make better sense of heat flow values in Mars’ soil if and when the probe is deployed as planned.

‘Is this an alien INVASION?’ Mysterious lights in British waters stuns locals

STRANGE lights lurking in the shallows near a British seaside town have left locals fearing an alien invasion could be imminent.

By Katy Gill 

The two red lights were spotted in the waters surrounding Bangor, Northern Ireland at the end of February.

While standing cliff side, Jackie filmed the unidentified red beams that can be seen lighting up an area under water.

Though appearing to be to from two separate sources, a cloud of light can be seen radiating while surrounding them.

Jackie shared the video with local Facebook page Bangor life, in the hope to identify what they belonged to.

Eve O’Connor, another witness, claimed the lights emerged after a “strange fog” lifted.

Once the video was posted, many started to speculate what could be responsible for the strange sighting.

The video was captioned: “She walked round to try and find out what it was.

“[There was] no evidence of divers; i.e. no bubbles and nothing left on the shoreline.

Ex-Agent from Area 51: Battle Between Humans and Aliens from 1978 was Real

According to the claims of Thomas Castello, ex-agent of the famous Area 51, humankind almost testified a battle between humans and extraterrestrials. However, this event luckily didn’t spread outside the area where humans usually conducted experiments on aliens.

Mr. Castello said he was a photographer who worked for the US Army. Furthermore, before taking his job, he signed a contract with a confidentiality clause considering some relevant prohibited information.

According to the former employee, there was an obscure underground base where people went to search for the cure of their diseases. Among these people there were even children, he said.

Given these points, Thomas wholly negated the likelihood of interacting with any of these people.

Recently released declassified CIA data says Thomas had the chance to eyewitness numerous obscure practices. These practices included astral journeys and mind control.

Then again, the most exciting part of his claims is that he said he has seen scientists who had rather an extraterrestrial origin. Apparently, they were making experiments related to alien-human hybrids and cloning of humans and aliens.

Also eerie is that he claims he could recognize the abducted by hearing them talking nonsense because of strong sedatives.

He said he acknowledged what was happening because he was constantly seeing posters around his town about the same persons being lost without a logical justification.

He further says that was the instant when the battle between humans and extraterrestrials, called “the sweet battle” started emerging.

This war might have prompt due to increase of pressure. Aliens allegedly agitated to make an inside destruction to the genetic investigation of the humans.

All this happened because aliens wanted to keep using humankind to extend their study.

Today, nobody knows where Castello is or what is he doing; however, he sure did escape the secret infamous base.

NASA alien planet DISCOVERY: Will NASA find life on the distant world of Kepler 1658b?

NASA’S discovery of a distant planet in the Kepler-1658 system could boost the space agency’s hopes of discovering alien life – but is there life on the planet Kepler 1658b?

Kepler 1658b is so close to its sun, from the surface, the star would appear 60-times wider than the Sun does from Earth.

NASA said: “Despite being the very first planet candidate discovered by NASA’s Kepler spacetelescope, Kepler-1658b had a rocky road to confirmation.

Life on Mars? Ex-NASA consultant finds 'PROOF' nuclear war wiped out alien civilisation

MARS once thrived under the rule of an ancient alien civilisation until a devastating nuclear war wiped out all evidence of life, a former NASA advisor has shockingly claimed.

Together with plasma physicist John Brandenburg, Mr Hoagland and a team of investigators explored the possibility of Mars once teeming with life.

Mr Hoagland said: “John and I in 1983 had this conversation when I invited him in because I wanted him to be our nuclear expert on the team because to me some of the craters in the Cydonia region around the face and the pyramids did not look like natural meteoritic impact craters or asteroid impacts.

De missie van deze sonde is al enkele jaren bezig, maar dit korte moment was voor de wetenschappers het absolute hoogtepunt.

SECRETS OF THE DEPT... WHAT DID HAPPENED REAL IN THE PAST?

1. Secrets of the Deep - Ancient Underwater Cities

Secrets of the Deep - Underwater Cities (Bimini Road and Yonaguni)

It is the stuff of lore and legend. Cities swept into the sea. Civilizations lost beneath the waves. But are these more than just myths? Are there really sunken cities and ruins that need to be discovered?

The Bimini Road, sometimes called the Bimini Wall, is an underwater rock formation near North Bimini island in the Bahamas. The Road consists of a 0.8 km (0.50 mi)-long northeast-southwest linear feature composed of roughly rectangular to subrectangular limestone blocks. Various claims have been made for this feature being either a wall, road, pier, breakwater, or other man-made structure.

The Yonaguni Monument, also known as "Yonaguni (Island) Submarine Ruins" is a submerged rock formation off the coast of Yonaguni, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan.

Masaaki Kimura, Professor Emeritus from the Faculty of Science at the University of the Ryukyus claims that the formations are man-made stepped monoliths. His ideas are disputed and there is debate about whether the site is completely natural, a natural site that has been modified or a man-made artifact. Neither the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, nor the government of Okinawa Prefecture recognize the features as important cultural artifacts and neither government agency has carried out research or preservation work on the site.

4. This City Exists Or Not ? Even Scientists Are Scratching Their Head On This Question.

This city exists or not ??
Even scientists are scratching their head on this question.

Under the Antarctica.
The endless search now made the researchers go to the depths of the South Pole.
Recently, with the help of imaging technology scientists started to discover the depths of Antarctica.
The landmass has been explored to a depth of half a mile by the researchers from Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A structure similar to the Eiffel Tower
.On exploring the depths, one of the structures found was resembling the height of Eiffel Tower with a height of 300 meters.
According to a documentary by National Geographic channel, the water conduits and sediment ridges found under the South Pole tell about the stability the surface gets.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The Piri Reis map in the 1960s.
The idea of Atlantis city under the Antarctica has surfaced earlier also in the 1960's and 70s.
At the time, according to the Piri Reis map humans must have been living there.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Created by Turkish admiral.
The map's name was actually kept in the name of a Turkish admiral and cartographer who made the map with the help of scholars and discovered many places through the same.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Discovered Antarctica before 1818.
Antarctica situated at the South Pole was discovered in the year 1818, but according to The Epoch Times, the Reis map showed Antarctica hundreds of years back before its discovery.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Plato mentioned it first.
As per the legends, Plato was the first person to come up with the idea of Atlantis city.
It was cited in his dialogues, namely 'Timaeus' and the 'Critias' written around 330 B.C.
as per Live Science.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Then Ignatius L. Donnelly.
For two millennials after that, it did not occur to anyone about the long lost Atlantis until when the writer, Ignatius Donnelly again came up with it in the year 1881.
He also believed that metallurgy, agriculture, religion, and language came from the city of Atlantis.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
And the US researchers believed this.
In the year 2011, it was a team of the US researchers who believed that the legendary city was found on the mud flats of Spain in Cadiz.
According to them, the city is submerged right under the north Cadiz which was swamped due to a tsunami.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

60 miles of impossibility.
The team of researchers was led by the professor of University of Hartford, Connecticut - Richard Freund, who said, "It is just so hard to understand that it (tsunami) can wipe out 60 miles inland, and that's pretty much what we're talking about."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Richard Freund claims...
According to what Plato described Atlantis 2600 years ago as 'an island situated in front of the straits called the Pillars of Hercules', in 2011 Richard claimed that, "We found something that no one else has ever seen before, which gives it a layer of credibility, especially for archaeology, that makes a lot more sense."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Tsunami Prone.
Freund added that it is no surprise because the area is tsunami prone.
The largest of all hit Lisbon in November 1755 with a 10-story tidal wave.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The Old Testament theory.
There was a time around 5000 BC when people actually used to believe Atlantis to be a myth.
It was believed that it was inspired from the Black Sea Floods; a flood story of the Old Testament.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The land of superpowers.
With the number of misconceptions earlier, it was also believed that one could possess superpowers if Atlantis City is discovered.
Well, we don't see any superpowers today so maybe if you find it, then you can have those powers.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Relation with the Minoan Civilization.
Another theory of Plato only suggests that the Crete and Thera islands were earlier the city of Atlantis.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The truth? Still debatable.
Whether it was mid-Atlantic continent which sunk, Antarctica only, the outcome of Black Sea floods, or the Minoan civilization; nothing has been proved yet.

5. 7 Mysterious UNDERWATER Cities

7 Submerged Cities and Settlements

From mysterious building found at the bottom of a lake left for centuries to cities which were only previously thought to exist in the realms of fantasy to a...Russian Atlantis these are 7 Underwater Cities.

Audio production provided by JaM Advertising www.tasteofjam.com

Fuxian Lake is a 212sq km body of water which stretches over three separate counties in southwest China, and for centuries locals who lived on its shores told of the strange sights they had witnessed within its waters.

For centuries many believed the ancient city of Heracleion was a myth, consigned to the realms of fantasy along with Atlantis, Valhalla, and wherever the little Mermaid lived. Heracleion was mentioned in the works of the Greek historian Herodotus as somewhere visited by Helen of Troy, but in Greek mythology she was the daughter of Zeus, so this didn’t really help lend the city an air of credibility.

Whilst some of the cities on this list were mysteriously lost to the ocean deep, we know exactly what happened to the Chinese city of Shicheng – the government flooded it on purpose in 1959.

At nearly 5000 years old the city of Pavlopetri is the oldest underwater settlement humanity has ever discovered, and after sinking sometime around 1000BC these aquatic ruins provide a fascinating snapshot into stone-age life.

Phanagoria was a huge Greek city located in modern-day Russia’s Krasnodar Krai region, and whilst some of its ruins can be found on land, approximately a third can be found at the bottom of the Black Sea.

An old Welsh legend tells the story of a legendary 6th Century Prince known as Helip ap Glanawg whose kingdom straddled much of modern-day North Wales. The tales mention how Helip had a giant palace built in the area today known as Conwy Bay, but it was destroyed after a storm struck the area and it became flooded by the sea, completely submerging both the palace and surrounding city.

Remember how we said Pavlopetri was the oldest known underwater city? Well technically it still is, but only because archaeologists are still arguing over the age of another submerged city found in India’s Gulf of Cambay.
