Joe Rogan Experience #2136 (Hancock & Dibble). Quote from Hancock (Apr 16, 2024 4:26:39): "that's a beautiful line to end with, people don't have to be assholes" Too bad he and his supporters forgot that.

If we accept that "Odysseus" actually visited this place (as described in the legends you base your identification on), it would have to be above sea level in his/Trojan War times (so, what level?), not some 200m BELOW that. First do the legwork, then claim a discovery.

You just cherry pick the ones you like, and ignore the rest, need to approach these "data" more critically, examine and discuss them, and not present pars pro toto with preconceived ideas.

You have not actually demonstrated that the anomaly that just ONE online seabed map shows actually IS the "ancient city" you claim. Cities don't look like that. The whole area around is covered with lines, squares and other anomalies ("geoglyphs"?)
@HistContent That site is a joke. There is nothing huge or amazing about it. Its a NOTHING BURGER. I found a city that is the size of Manhatten, whereas this mound is barely over 300m wide!. 17640m long. Yet I cannot get people excited about it.

@findsorguk @findsorguk, Let's see something on your website explaining this to the law-abiding metal detectorists of the Kingdom. Why not explain how that "law" of yours actually works in practice in cases like these so they may be better informed about what it means to abide by the Law?.

This is probably a disturbing harbinger of the rapid approach of a culturally- impoverished and intellectually barren future.
This has been my worst business year yet. Almost every organization I provided writing and communication work for has switched to A.I., and the government's assaults on science and education are further shrinking my opportunities, and I'm not sure how I'm going to make money.

@Graham__Hancock @DeDunkingPast @YouTube @DeDunkingPast, the scruffy hairy autodidact from USA, needs to read more (and a whole new quality) of books before affecting cosplaying a"great white expert" who claims the right to "allow" a brown Egyptologist to VINDICATE (sic) himself". Fluff for brains.
