Two Giant Underwater Crystal Pyramids Discovered in the Center of the Bermuda Triangle
http://www.endalldis...rmuda-triangle/

With the use of sonar, oceanographer Dr. Meyer Verlag discovered giant glass pyramids at a depth of two-thousand meters. The use of other devices have allowed scientists to determine that these glass giants are both made of a crystal-like substance, and are nearly 3 times bigger than the pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.

Yeah, right. They don't even provide sonar-images, just crappy-looking renderings.

Doesn't mean it's fake... Just means more research needs to done.

I quite agree that its probably BS, but one thing I do know is that watching TV news is a complete waste of time and everything you see needs to be checked just as much as things you find on the "Interweb-of-Lies" - James May. So I do plan to look into this more, even if it is just a fascinating diversion.

Some poor budding scientist who could be developing immortality is wasting his thought processes on this crap... It should be a crime and whatever non/not-for profit came up with it should lose it's status and be fined into oblivion!

I don't think it's a nonprofit. You can buy stuff from them, or just donate money if you're so inclined. They call themselves "end all disease", so I'm sure it's legit. Sounds like a good cause... Maybe when they end all disease, they could move on to ending poverty, uncoolness, and poor fashion sense.

How are they helping to end disease when they are creating it (rhetorical... I think we can surmise)? If you take a science type and blow that smoke up their arse, they'll waste alot of time thinking about it instead of doing science and actually curing disease... The person who believes in that stuff could be something more. We have a bad habit of doing stuff like this and sh*t canning an entire life and we start it way too early... I wonder if it wasn't for isolation/ostracism as a social response whether this kind of stuff would ever happen. May I live long enough to see such a day where it isn't the result of picking and choosing who lives.

I'm donating a large bag of indoor cronnic to help them come up with more stories!

Seriously:
I like the direction this conversation is taking because I think its very important for people to realise that there are newsworthy things happening that just don't make it onto the 8 O-clock news.

A good recent example is the huge number of people demonstrating against Monsanto.
Whether they are correct or not is not the point, but when 200 000 people turn up outside legislative buildings; its newsworthy, but does not make it onto the news much at all.

Personally I agree that Monsanto needs to be stopped, as do over 800 scientists:

I worry that this info may be true, but feel that no amount of research is give me a definitive answer:

The point I'm trying to make:
You are being treated like a mushroom: Kept in the dark and fed shit.
So you would not know about it if there are pyramids where this article says.

Keep an open mind and do some research into other subjects you find intriguing.

A long life needs to be interesting..!

That might be true if you get your information about the world from television, tabloids, and sketchy web sites. If you seek out quality journalism, international perspectives and diverse opinions, and you develop a little bit of a bullshit filter, I think you will be pretty well informed. If there are really "glass" pyramids three times the size of the great pyramid at a level of 2000m, the tops would be less than a mile deep. That's beyond the range of light or sonar as I understand it, but oil companies are drilling at such levels, so they must have some pretty decent imaging technology. Subs, if nothing else. I think it would be really tough to hide a discovery like this purports to be.

[Logic]

Another way of putting this is that no one has proof that there aren't pyramids any more than there is proof that there are. So the only thing we can really agree on is that we just don't know.

Its pretty easy to find people who watch TV but have never heard of Monsanto, even through there were hundreds of thousands of protestors out shouting about it.
This means that its actually pretty easy to hide things from Joe Public who seem well conditioned to believing that: "If it wasn't on the news; it didn't happen."

Another way of looking at it:
How many people know that C60oo 'doubled' the lifespan of 6 rats?
Now imagine giving that the coverage that 9-11 got...

It said a doctor made the discovery while diving... I don't know much about diving, but I imagine you can't easily dive that far...

But there is plenty of reason to believe that it doesn't exist simply due to the nature of the report. A doctor goes swimming in the bermuda triangle and discovers giant glass pyramids... WTFITS? You didn't try the ibogane or one of those plant based wonder drugs in South Africa did you?

C60 should definitely have gotten as much coverage as 9/11. Could you imagine if O'Riely talked about it on the factor and slammed CNN and the Democrats for wanting it as part of universal healthcare and Stossell committed to replicating the study to find out if it's true and speculated on the financial implications of immortality, and Meagan Kelly got really excited about getting the skin cream version of it anytime it got brought up? And Geraldo Rivera's like "I think I smoked something by that name back in the seventies!"

One cant dive to 2000 Meters, not even to 1000 Meters.
I think the doc they are talking about may have found a shallower, different pyramid. Maybe, possibly, but very unlikely.
There are other verified ruins and such underwater though.

Again: We wouldn't know if it were true.

Here's something else that isn't going to make the 8 O-clock news:

Ok, a shallower pyramid would be even bigger and ships would be wrecking into it and stuff. There's no pyramid at the bottom of the ocean dude. These articles are leads for civic groups... you start talking about them and suddenly everyone knows that you're on drugs because you wouldn't believe them otherwise. Give up the drugs and stick to conventional science.

That's an interesting one, but at least they aren't claiming that it's cooler or more advanced than a stone age pyramid.

The batteries have gone flat!
LOL! Kidding!

Yes there seems to be a lot of evidence that humanity was more advanced and had advanced building skills much earlier than initially thought.
ie: 10 000 years ago before sea levels rose dramatically. There is evidence of water erosion on the Sphinx too and it has not been wet enough to do that, there, for 10 000 odd years.
