I know ther are some threads here about how Egypt is supressing discoveries and while I don't have any concrete evidence per se...it seems they are always hindering progress. Could it be they already know the truth of Egypt? The Egypt truely was the last refuge of a greater culture that was wiped out?

The article or picture caption says which satellite they were using. It wasn't google earth. Some commercial satellite.

It makes one wonder how long it will be before they start useing a type of ground penetrating radar with these satellites.50,000 years could bury a lost civilization very deeply.
