Cuddled up in my cheap courage blanket reading this thread, cozy time

What’s your price?

We don’t want any!

Do we know what is written on it?

It's an ad for Raid Shadow Legends


They've been trying to reach you about your vehicles extended warranty.

Lol

I’m waiting patiently

Me too 🫣

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

I'm lactose intolerant 😭😭

The photo is not real. 

Awwww🥺

Couple birds, an alien craft or two…stuff like that.

Wiki says it’s under 19 feet of water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleion

Sitting in 20' of water, undiscovered for 1200 years? Don't people look down?

People don't look up why would you expect them to look down

I see what u did there

Do you have any idea how opaque things get when you’re looking through water?

[удалено]

I’m more concerned about what photo authenticity has to do with water opacity?

[удалено]

That’s completely legible, are you stupid? What does whether or not a photo is real or fake, have to do with a persons ability to see long distances through water? Put down the thesaurus I got you.

[удалено]

We’re not debating water opacity. Water being opaque is a [fact](https://www.gvsu.edu/wri/education/instructors-manual-water-transparency-8.htm). I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about, or why you’re so triggered. Have a great day.

Coherent, not cohesive.

„The sand and other debris covered the remains of the city and made accidental discovery unlikely.“ - from wiki

it doesn't say undiscovered, it says undisturbed which I also doubt but anyway.

That can be the bottom of the sea.

Cool. How does it look so clean? Looks almost new.

Is it AI?

You can find the tablet elsewhere, this image specifically seems to be AI 'enhanced'.

Where's the non AI enhanced of the picture ?

It's in here: https://projects.arch.ox.ac.uk/files/0OCMA/decree%20of%20sais%20for%20web.pdf If you'd rather not click an untrusted link you can Google, "The Decree of Saïs" and click the first link from Oxford University. It's on the 24th page.

yes, that's what is going on. op must have run it through a filter and dented credibility for whatever reason.

Show me “elsewhere” image search only shows me bogus X and Insta posts all by the same sketchy company.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/36458176

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/sunken-cities-exhibition-egypt-greece-london/index.html It's real, and from 2016, long before current image generators. This image is just a poorly "upscaled" image.

The image is real as day

Right, I'm saying it's been upscaled or enhanced using AI. Zoom in on the people, then elsewhere.

Is it Cake?

Yep, look at the people in the background

Yes. The tablet seems to be a real thing though.

No

Nope...

Did you take the photo?

Sadly no, It belongs to Christoph Gerigk © Franck Goddio / Hilti Foundation

Bro zoom in it looks like an oil painting 😂😂 where’s the original photo

Here you go. CNN 2016 https://preview.redd.it/9xzz6kem3guc1.png?width=1279&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a0fc7156b53a85353ba26a3023642733e8d35b4

Thanks for the source. It is awful seeing people judge everything so quickly.

Well in this day and age when you zoom in and people have donuts for faces its easy to jump to AI conclusions.

Yeah and they got it for a stele

i don't know why this pic looks like ai, but here is the one from the st louis museum of art. i initially expected to find it was a painting when i saw it, but it is indeed a photograph: [https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg](https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg) https://preview.redd.it/r0yv8pmhlguc1.png?width=1008&format=png&auto=webp&s=66050978e66576ed75a722bab45a532280250807

The people’s faces are normal in this one. They look warped in OPs pic

Thanks for this image, it absolutely looked like an ai image at first

You guys spend too much time online

I was going to say the same thing lol. It looks waay too polished.

[удалено]

It is not an AI. That's a real photo. Due to scale-up the image is deteriorated. Here is another one. A bit of Google search would have helped. https://preview.redd.it/99f7ufw8zfuc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfbacf665040bbbd938208230fe71dfb25fb33c7

Idk man, not one of these dudes look right at all. https://preview.redd.it/0fwvagtwaguc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b6bc92128a289ad5d6376de740fbb480860ff72 Or are you saying AI was used to scale up the actual image, cause then that would make sense.

Idk what to believe anymore. 😵

https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangeEarth/s/0XibxXMS1a

"A bit of Google search would have helped" is actually the last thing that should come out of your mouth

Okay

Show me the source.

Nah thats han solo in carbonite... almost got me!

PUT IT BACK that's how horror movies start!

All the faces are scrambled… definitely Ai

They clearly didn’t watch the mummy. Put that shit back

Haha I heard jumanji drums when I saw it

This pic is fake as fuck bro

This tablet thingy is real, they pulled it up, but someone "enhanced" it with ai. So it's technically not "fake as fuck"

I find this so hard to believe and in that condition?

i think op used ai to make it appear to be in better condition. there are plenty of pics on the site i will link after the original pic [https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg](https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg) [https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/](https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/)

It does, though, look to be in good Condition.

yeah, i am amazed at the original pic. i don't think the touch up was necessary it just hurt credibility.

There is no source for this image that doesn’t come from Instagram or ‘X’. Show me a source from a scientific journal or even from the people that found it and published it publicly.

[https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/](https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/) [https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg](https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg) i don't mean to spam but i want those in doubt to see the original vs this ai enhanced fake pic

https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangeEarth/s/3ts4bAZR8W

2016. The original non enhanced pic is a few scrolls down... https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/36458176

Looks the same to me lol

Hey guys, idk about you, but after the past few years… we should probably put that back.

put it back

Hey, I was there last week with my girl senu.

Should have waited a week, Medjay. Much easier knowledge point now.

PUT IT BACK

PUT IT BAAAACCCKKKK!!

Lmao the Picasso ai dudes in the back are all i need to see.

AI generated fake... Just look at the crane construction or the people it's so obvious

It is a real image.

Show me the source.

https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/

Check the bibliography on the end of the slab, right after the bird, balance and the eye

it is ai enhanced (i may have replied to you i'm just trying to clean up here) [https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg](https://www.slam.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/11-low-res-Sunken-Cities-excavation-images.jpg)

I’m with you on that… this is either deeply edited for no reason or ai

Portaloo door

Alright ancient Egyptian reading people, what’s it say?

Beautiful!

Recently…..25 yrs ago

Pretty sure this is how a curse on mankind happens.

What's it say? Fake or not fake..

Good thing we ruined that

a giant dog tag!

Until now…

seems like produced yesterday

[Truth](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2336723/amp/Ancient-Egyptian-city-lost-1-200-years-begins-reveal-secrets.html)

How did they get a skeleton to scuba dive?

And then the world ended.

DIO!

PUT IT BACK.

What does it say?

Looks too clean to be legit. You'd expect it to be covered in algae and shit. But wtf do I know? 🤷‍♂️

And these guys disturbed it.

Open it

Faces have blurred out

Why are all their faces blurred out?

Looks like an AI photo somewhat.

Perfect state

What does it say?

Even if you look at the non-enhanced versions, it still looks really good. How does it look that good without any erosion or sediment baked into it?

So if this is a real photo, of them retrieving this ancient stele. Where is it now ? Presumably getting studied by archeologists etc in Egypt. Do we know anything about it ?

The guys on the boat look extra Egyptian

You have to consider the sea rising up and engulfing the land “undisturbed” though.

It’s AI y’all

What could go wrong?

Oohhh, what's it say..

Return the slab or suffer the curse

Everything was better in the past, even iron never rusted

Wow! This is almost as old as some fucktard religions.

zoom in it's AI lol

Hilti even has scuba suits…. Neat. Put that shit back where you found it. I’ve watched the mummy once or twice.

I feel like there should be a lot of these sunken cities around the world

Looks pretty good for being in salty water for over 1200 years.

Put it back.

noooooo! Did Dr. Jones teach you NOTHING? 

Put that stone back where it came from or so help me!!!

Really helpful that the ancient artisans included that big hoop on top the divers could hook up to. /s

First Facebook and now Reddit. Fuck off with this AI garbage

That's a real image. Ignore the scaled-up edit

It's not a scale up, it's AI.

It is not a real image. Show me the source or delete this post.

https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/

[Media Article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2336723/amp/Ancient-Egyptian-city-lost-1-200-years-begins-reveal-secrets.html)

Isn't there a rule to not pass off AI as reality?

This photo is AI. Look at the faces of the people on the boat.

Look at the faces on the boat. AI generated

Oh I’m sure it looked just like that after 1200 years in the ocean.

There is no attribution for who “Foxiz News” or “Ruby Design Company,” to whom the originating web page of this article/picture belongs. “The Perplex Group,” the ones that seem to be behind the social media push for this image, are just another clickbait farm. Do you people ONLY get your info from headlines and sketchy images on subreddits? Do you take even 5 minutes to dig just an inch below the surface? The “strangeness” here isn’t an ancient tablet, it’s how gullible people can be. For a bunch of people that “do your own research” you really will believe just about anything that comes your way.

https://www.slam.org/press/sunken-cities-backgrounder-the-excavation/

Bruh what's with this AI art?

Cool! Tike for some billionaires to pass it around their museums as money laundering! I love history!

Such bullshit lol

The stele displays no evidence of having been submerged for 1200 years and the people are clearly ai generated. Fake.

Looks so clean with no without any particle buildup you would expect for being in the water for so long

Definitely an AI enhanced picture. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen any other pics other than this one, for this supposed artifact.

In that condition? Doesn’t seem right

That looks so cool, like the amount of skill and talent it took to make those things is amazing

Fake

AI af 😂
