Is The Lost City Of Atlantis In Antarctica - Update

Is there a lost city underneath Antarctica and if it's true then what if it's Atlantis?

It's been speculated a lot recently by nearly every conspiracy theorist that something major has been found or discovered down there in Antarctica. (It's been claimed since I can remember). Updated Monday 5th February 2024.

That speculation is based on a mix of new and old information like for instance the old Admiral Piri Reis Map from 1513 showing something that it shouldn't yet. An image of the map is below.

It's based on some of NASA's gathered information from Operation Ice Bridge which is the largest airborne survey in 3D of its type, that led to all sorts of rumours and myths plus legends.

It's also mixed in with ancient reports and actual maps of places that shouldn't be known for at least a century later.

• Has NASA been hiding "new information" and if so why?
• Who ordered it to be secret and who has kept it hidden all this time?
• Something this large has got to involve more than one person.

I found some amazing resources online and here's a bit of it that has got me interested.

Conspiracy theorists claim that photos taken by NASA's Operation IceBridge mission show what could be proof of an ancient human settlement frozen beneath layers of ice in Antarctica. Could this be Atlantis?

Pyramids Supposedly In Antarctica

There's supposed evidence showing Pyramids spaced out in the "typical way" similar to what we see in Egypt and around the world.

Pyramids on Mars

There are supposed Pyramids on Mars that align in the same way discovered by Aidar Alzhanov. The coordinates on Google Mars are as follows. 6°49'51.34"s 75°39'25.83"w.

The Lost City of Atlantis

Then there are the rumours of a hidden city that has been floated about for years, as conspiracy theorists and even some scientists claim the freezing continent is the home of the legendary Lost City of Atlantis. That's an interesting theory and probably just a theory at that.

One scientific theory claims that once upon a time Antarctica was ice-free home to an ancient civilisation, and had jungle-like conditions.

The theory, called crustal displacement, alleges that movements in the Earth's crust meant that large parts of Antarctica were ice-free 12,000 years ago and people could have lived there.

Allegedly, a society could have existed in 'prehistory', coming to an end with the last Ice Age which froze the continent.

And this could have been Atlantis, a mythical city founded by people who were half god and half human which was first mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato in 360BC.

Speculation over the location of the legendary long-lost city is rife, with wild speculation and some of it is plausible but only plausible and hence the reason why it's not a fact. Others believe it to have been near the Greek island of Santorini.

Was Antarctica's secret city confirmed by an ancient map called the Piri Reis map, compiled in 1513 from military intelligence.

It appears to show the Antarctic coast hundreds of years before it was discovered and with land but was denounced by many scholars at the time and even now.

Traces of Human Settlement in Antarctica

However, not long ago photos from NASA appeared to reveal traces of a human settlement underneath the ice. The full story is here in The Sun online meaning we might have to concede that anecdotal evidence and tangible evidence supersedes the know-it-all-all theories of the modern-day scientist's views.

Conspiracy theorists (some have been spot on for years) believe that there could be an ancient city hidden underneath the ice of Antarctica.

The pictures, taken using remote sensing photography for NASA's Operation IceBridge mission to Antarctica, show what online sleuths believe could be a city. You should check out the link for amazing information.

Google Earth Man-made Pyramid

Google Earth images also appeared to show a pyramid poking out of the tundra, with enthusiasts claiming that it is proof humanity once lived in the area and built a man-made structure.

The fascinating discovery comes just weeks after scientists revealed the Earth could be heading for another mini-ice age caused by the Sun "going blank" whatever that means but we'll stay on topic for now.

Leading archaeologist, Ashoka Tripathi, of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Calcutta believes the images show clear evidence of an ancient human settlement beneath the ice sheet.

Conspiracy theorists went wild when a video claiming to be from the lost city emerged (I'm not showing the video). It appeared to show extensive ancient ruins hidden in the ice and was a video supposedly 'left behind' by a California TV crew who have been missing since 2002. Believe that if you like but I urge you to research it for yourself before you commit to wild speculation. I enjoy proving or disproving claims because I enjoy thinking for myself or at least having and making an informed decision.

Conclusion

Archaeologist Jonathan Gray claimed that the US government is trying to block the video from being seen because it reveals there is a "massive archaeological dig underway two miles beneath the ice". Again, it's just words arranged in such a way to sound dramatic and give you that reason to mistrust. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it's enough to manipulate people. So be aware of the claims and do your research!

But that's not the wildest claim - with several online websites claiming that there is a city in Antarctica and that horrible man from World War 2 knew about it, making it a secret base. The wild claims state that the Nazis claimed an area of Antarctica as German territory and sent an expedition there and some say that they are still there. It's about as credible as a dodgy $15 note.
