Hello everyone, I was watching a video by Bright Insight, where he talks about a global cataclysm that reset human civilization many thousands of years ago. One of the things he mentions is the common criticism of "If there was an advanced human civilization, where's the evidence of metal buildings, fiber optic cables, etc ...?". Of course, Bright Insight makes a good case about natural erosion and corrosion destroying these things, but this question reminded me of something I saw in Google Earth that I would like to share with you now. First though, here is the video from Bright Insight: And without further ado, here is some of the stuff I found on Google Earth: Due to the 0.5 MB upload limitation on these forums, I will only show a single picture, but the one below includes many of the elements I want to bring to your attention. However, I urge you to open Google Earth, and navigate to the provided coordinates. You can get a far better picture with the ability to zoom in/out Moscow Oblast in Russia (Coordinates 55 36 27 N 40 18 46 E) Points of Interest in the above picture The most obvious are the city shadows (as I've called them for lack of a better name). You can see that despite this area being a swamp, there are lines here that form an easily recognizable grid. If you zoom in on the grid, there is no sigh of human habitation. Nature doesn't do perfect grids like the ones we see here, so this was obviously created by humans, and then something happened (likely a flood) to force humans to abandon the region It's possible that this city was destroyed in more recent history (god knows we abandon cities in modern times), but for those of you who want to strike a comparison with cities like Chernobyl, I will point out that Chernobyl still has buildings standing to this day. Whatever happened to these cities destroyed them so thoroughly, that these places cannot be recognized as cities from the ground. You can see the small modern town of Shatura on the left side of the picture that appears to be in the process of reclaiming some of the shadow grid. Take note of this, this phenomenon of our modern cities reclaiming the foundations of the old ones re-occurs all over the world. Finally, I want to bring your attention to the straight lines that go on for miles and make sudden sharp turns at odd angles (focus on the area immediately to the north of Tugolesskly Bor, and feel free to follow them to your hearts content). I believe that these lines are the remains of an ancient road system Key here is that no trees grow inside of these lines, the ancients have apparently built their roads to last. Fortunately for us, this makes these lines easy for us to recognize if you're zoomed in far enough If you find one of these roads, you can follow them, and 90% of the time, they will lead you to more of these shadow cities, or even modern cities Before anyone says that "we built these roads", I'd like to point that that our modern civilization simply doesn't built roads in the style that we see here. Our roads (especially the inter-city ones) tend to be curvy, and are usually thinner than these straight-lined monstrosities that go on for miles, and make sudden sharp turns Sometimes, you might see railroads, power lines (especially in the United States), or modern roads inside of these straight-lined clearings. I used to think that our power companies cleared the land in this manner, but this phenomenon can be found across all continents in the world, and in many cases, you don't find railroads or power lines inside of them (especially in 3rd world countries). It seems more likely to me that our power companies simply appropriated this land because trees conveniently don't grow inside these areas Coordinates Here are some more coordinates for you to look at in Google Earth, and my commentary associated with it Japan - Nakashibetsu (43 33 25 N 145 01 51 E) This is a case of trees growing in these perfect grid formations, and the modern japanese civilization appears to be building inside of it. Sweden - Ancient Road Hub (66 27 17 N 20 43 17 E) A bunch of these ancient roads crossing in one area. Good place to start if you want to find city shadows in Sweden, just follow the roads City Shadow - (67 04 31 N 22 29 00 E) City Shadow - (64 01 39 N 20 49 06 E) I will note that finding city shadows in western countries is far more difficult than other places in the world ... due to how developed we are. Regardless, it is not impossible as demonstrated by the next example New York City - Island City Shadows - (40 38 41 N 73 28 02 W) To think, you can find one of these things in the middle of a modern metropolis. It's a mind boggling thought that there was a city in this exact location before the current New York City, and the current city is merely reclaiming existing foundations. Unlike the first example in Russia, New York is far more developed, so we don't get the see the original city shadow Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey - (39 42 10 N 74 08 42 W) I find it interesting that most of the proper city shadows that I have found in the United States are all wildlife refuges, or conservation areas of some kind. here are a few more: Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina - (32 40 14 N 80 40 17 W) Another Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina - (33 09 00 N 79 02 38 W) Brazil - (22 40 18 S 43 00 30 W) You can find many many more, here are some tips for your searching The ancient road system is visible all over the world (Except Antarctica, where it's likely buried under the ice). If you find one of these roads, simply follow it to find a city shadow, but you need to be zoomed in well enough to find one Don't assume that modern humans set up trees that grow in straight lines for many miles (I.E: the japan example). You can find these city shadows co-existing with modern development if you look closely, but due to the modern development, it's harder to prove that we didn't do this. Most of the city shadows I have found are near water, or are low elevation (the sort of places that would be affected by a sudden increase in the sea levels as Bright Insight describes) If you are looking in North America, take note that the glaciers of the last ice age have warped the terrain to a considerable degree, and so it is harder to find anything there, but it's not impossible ... try looking near Seattle. I saw indications that Seattle WA, and Vancouver Canada may have been connected at some point as one big city. Same notice applies to the Siberia areas of Russia (for those of you who may be looking for possible indications of Great Tartary) Finally, if anybody can find modern day explanations for these phenomenon, I would like to hear them
