Got ruins? Undersea archaeologists release new photos
By Jes Alexander on December 16, 2009
WASHINGTON, DC (Herald de Paris) – EXCLUSIVE – New, un-filtered images were revealed, today, from the team claiming to have discovered a previously unknown and submerged ancient city on the sea floor, in the Caribbean. This series of images were released, they say, to focus attention more on the discovered ruins, and less on the anomalous blocks misinterpreted by the satellite imagery.
These images appear to show stone foundations and construction rubble fields. Some of the features show verticality and shadow, which researchers claim pixelated distortion would not. The team cautioned that the puffy-looking white areas in photo #4 are not clouds, but instead the reflection of the ocean’s surface with the sun high in the sky.
By showing the un-filtered images, the team hopes to exhibit why filtering and lightening of the images has been necessary. If the public can garner sharper images from the originals, please contact the Herald.
The project team asks that for more information, or to find out how to help fund their research as they move forward, please contact Herald de Paris publisher, Jes Alexander, at a specially set-up telephone number:Â 415-738-7811.

If this archeological “find” is as significant as the article seems to suggest, why aren’t the major news outlets reporting it?
They should re-check their coordinates on their borrowed satellite and cross-check it against a map. . . Cities this sprawling don’t go missing — especially with all of those roads and vertical buildings that are strangely still intact even after being submerged for thousands of years.
UPDATE:
WASHINGTON, DC – “Lost City” now shows to be Obama Health Care Plan scattered on sea floor by Senator Joe Lieberman, also an artifact.
They just did this morning on Dylan’s show featured on the MSNBC network. They only barely mentioned it and showed only one or two pictures. Amazing stuff though!
Because Main Stream Media only spews propaganda and government approved “news”, you’ll have to wait for the major networks to get the official “story” … usually takes a day or so.
PS: Wake up
The Main Stream News probably haven’t gotten the official go ahead to “cover” the story. Give it a couple days and you’ll see more than a headline and of course the bubble head news readers will smirk, smile or frown to tell you how to fell about it.
PS Wake up D.
THANKS FOR COVERING THIS HERALD
Oh my god…I can’t believe ya’ll don’t know what this is. This is a city ship from another dimension from the FUTURE not from the past. It is simply sitting on the bottom of the sea floor waiting to rise up….no imaginations!
Timing is everything. On the crest of global upheaval, economic, social, cultural spiritual, meteorological unrest, with catastrophes of all climatic types, with destructive categories on the rise annually. Religious unrest and uncertainty in all of its forms.
With the discovery of the lost book of Nostradamus, the predictions of the Mayan calender that ends its long count at 2012 and prophesy’s a time of complete global change for the best or worst and the beginning of a new evolution or de-evolution or total destruction to moderate destruction and with the historical, theoretical and now maybe factual stories of Atlantis, if just a portion of these stories are true. The fifth world may begin a new and hopefully great era for humanity, for if this story and these photos turn to be true it will open the door to all possible outcomes. Hopes and fears of all ancient myth and factual stories. The Sky Is The Limit.
Maybe humanity has just gotten the break we need to fix our generations of mistakes and realize that sometimes the ancients write stories and they are exactly what the story says. Sometimes deluded. We can only hope that in these trying times our neighbors, our individual religious beliefs and scientific understanding will boost us to the next level in our existence.
May God Bless humanity and may humanity finally learn from its mistakes, good luck to us all.
If this is tru, a big piece of the puzzle has risen!
GPS location please….
I think, you all are “compression maniacs”..
Todays LCD screens with higher gamma are showing this, but some 10 years ago, you would not notice this with your old CRT monitor!
As i said, this is clearly compression algorithm used for images comprimation !
When i see actual diver with his pictures i will admit it exist, but from images from google, ridiculous!
The only sunken city that has been reported to be at least 5 square miles is north of the Berrry Islands in the Bahamas, where Dr. Ray Brown filmed 6 ft.
diameter corinthian style marble columns and a pyramid he entered and took
a crystal ball from that levitates a two ounce weight passed over it and shows
the image of a pyramid in the crystal. It is less than 200 ft. down and was
shown first on the “In Search Of” series with L. Nimoy. We have had this for
more than 30 years without complete investigation and publication. Cay Sal Bank has another possible city with more than one pyramid found at 800 ft. and
one is about 600 ft. high. Similar size pyramids were found and investigated
by Charles Berlitz and Don Henry south of the Turks and Caicos Islands, however they never published their work with two subs on the site. Mr. Berlitz
was with the CIA and they were probably influenced to keep it a secret.
Living in the Dominican Republic I can confirm that de sunken city in Pepillo Salcedo is not a hoax.
We were made aware of it by local fishermen about one year ago and poled the lake of carbonara with them We have since made many trips to the area to find out more
As the rules concerning sub terrean and sub aquatic exploration in the Dominican Republic are very strict we set up a local Dominican non profit organisation to aply for all the neccessary permits in order to start excavation
We welcome everybody interested in these matters to join us and are willing to share all information we already possess.
Everybody who possesses Google earth can check the existence of the city for himself
The most dramatic view has the following coordinates
19 42 04 74 N ; 71 43 15 20 W
Find the location, zoom in rotate and tilt you will clearly see huge platforms of several buildings, and a breakline with part of the structure sloping up towards the mangrove. The mangrove litterally started to grow on the highest and exposed parts of the structure
The city is very huge and covers the complete valley of the Massacre river
It extends from Montecristi to Cap Haïtien on the other side of the border, and goes inland as far as Dajabon in the south extending beyond the Siete Hermanos ( a group of islands ) in the North.
A possible explanation : ancient maps contain drawings of an island in the Atlantic Ocean called Antillia, the island of the (legendary) seven cities.
Columbus is said to have possesed such a map ( portulan ) when he set out on his journey.
Atlantis went down in several phases, during the last phase 12 islands are said to have stayed above the water. Antillia was one of them
It is possible that hispaniola ( Haïti + Dominican Republic ) is a remnant of Antillia and the sunken city of Pepillo Salcedo one of the seven cities.
If the above hunch is correct one should not be surprised that another sunken city will turn up under the mangrove swamps in the Dominican Republic in the area of Los Haitises for example ( ishtmus of Samana )
So the sunken city of Pepillo Salcedo could have something to do with Atlantis in its last phase of developement.
How do we want to proceed from here ?
While waiting to obtain all the neccessary permits ( and this can take a very long time in the Carribean ) to excavate we started to make a survey of possible excavation sites.
The google sattelite maps that cover the area are not very recent, the topography of the area has changed during the last 20 years.
When one compares the maps with the actual situation on the field, one realises that the many places that are flooded on the google maps are now dry land, in other words it must be possible to get to some part of the ruins without getting ones feet wet. About one to one and a half meters of mud covers the ruins that are under water, once the area is dried up one should be able to get to the ruins after digging away one to one and a half meters of dried mud in some carefully selected sites
To find these sites we plan to fly camera equiped model planes over the area
It is indeed a well known fact that subterrean structures can show up in areal photography of cropped fields during draught periods due to the differential uptake of water and minerals by the plants.
Involve the governments of both the Dominican Republic and Haïti
The area of Pepillo Salcedo and on the other side of the border Cap Haïtien belong to the poorest parts of Hispaniola. It is obvious that if the sunken city turns out to be what we expect that part of Hispaniola will suddenly gain world attention. Excavating the area could not only give work to hunderds of local people but would also be a huge boost to the local tourist industry which is currently lagging behind because of want of infrastructure and tourist attractions.
We do not yet have professional archeologists in our team, anybody interested ?

So whatever happened to this story?? Seems hard to believe something of this apparent importance would be ignored even for a few weeks!
The photos are a hoax. The imagery is identical to what is seen from an aircraft flying over an industrial plant. The claim that the white stuff is not clouds but “reflections on the water” is nonsense. As a former international aviator, I have flown countless hours over oceans and seas and can tell you there are no such things as “reflections”; when sunligh hits calm water, it simply makes it appear to be a lighter shade, and when sunlight hits wavy water, it makes the troughs of the waves appear to be a lighter shade.
I left out one thing. If you carefully examine the photos as they were displayed when this story first broke, you can see several things atypical of an ancient city:
1. several pipelines connecting two buildings
2. a circular storage tank of the type found on “tank farms”
3. a tractor-trailer, with tractor cocked to left, in front of a building.
Additionally, these photos are not of a quality consistent with satellite imagery, which can literally take a picture of a person standing in his front yard.
picture #8 in particular –no way the waves and salt water would allow such crisp edges to remain crisp, unless made of an exotic material.
This one’s toast.
I am also very interested in connecting with the team leader of this Research Project to do all I can to promote the cause and get funding. I incidently originate from the Caribbean myself.. So Jes Alexander please contact me with more info. I will try to contact you soon too. I can help in various ways of really getting the word out..
Is very interesting … the imagery looks like was taken from an aircraft passing thru an industrial plant. But also with great tropical storms and huricanes activities which happen from 2004 thru 2009 , specially in 2009, when the Caribbean islands was rocket the most, it can clean aloft of dirt from anything underwater. the work can be done by nature it self. I had the privilege to scuba in the north, south, east & west part of Cuba and now in the Florida Keys and is very impressive how the bottom ocean can change after storms.
It is absolutely impossible for any minerals or building materials to last underwater. I base this on absolutely nothing. I’m not a scientist, I don’t work with satellites, I’m not one of the numerous geologists that were consulted on this project, and I have no formal scientific or math skills. I don’t know how laser mapping systems work, or anything about marine chemistry or the refractive index of salt water. I am however, deeply opinionated, and will state emphatically that whatever it is other people are reporting is probably wrong, because I have never heard of it before or hear it reported. If you don’t agree with me, then you obviously just don’t understand that NASA doesn’t know what they are doing and probably makes a lot of faulty discoveries anyway…. I mean does anybody really believe you can identify chemical distributions of stars? has anybody even ever SEEN a black hole? plz!
