Ancient city on the Moon?

Question

I heard on the radio a discussion how in fact the austranauts found remnants of a destroyed city on the Moon, but NASA has not publicised those facts. Is that true and what are some verifiable sources?

Answer 1

Yes, it is probably true that you heard that on radio.

The information itself is false.  

There are no hidden cities on the Moon.

Many countries have sent probes around the Moon (USA, USSR, Japan, China, with more to come).

The idea that civilizations have flourished on Earth's Moon and on other bodies in the solar system all come from the head of Hoagland.  He is, at best, delusional.

He likes to pretend that he has inside information.  He does not.  His cover-up theory is based on the well-known principle that all astronomers and astronautics specialists work for NASA and are all part of a cover-up.

I guess he does not subscribe to the theory that the Moon landings were filmed in a Hollywood studio (otherwise, it would mean that the astronauts that have supposedly seen these lost cities, saw then in a desert in Nevada).

If anything, NASA has been very cooperative in allowing outsiders to compare Hoagland's notes to NASA's, but Hoagland just waits for the dust to settle (literally, when it comes to Mars) and starts over again.

To Faesson:

no.

To C B

yes I have read.  It still does not make sense.

Answer 2

please take just one of the red pills next time. you will feel much better.

try looking at the moon yourself some time. do you see any signs of ancient cities? how much more verifiable do you want?

later: try using a telesscope. the smallest detail you can see on the moon from earth is about 1km across. this is ample resolution to show changes in the landscape, just like the way you can see cities as dark smudges in weather satellite pictures.

now i know you're just being difficult, and not actually looking for information.

ok so i read about him....

i know i'm not in any position to say whether he is right or not.... i am however in a perfect position to say that it's one of the more 'out there' theories, and at best, extremely unlikely.

Answer 4

There are people who claim that. But that whole idea is just another crazy conspiracy theory. People don't like what they see and hear so they claim it isn't true and what they want to see is true and the government or world or whatever is just against them and keeping secrets.

Answer 5

"The guy you're looking for is Richard C. Hoagland. He's is a well spoken, very literate researcher with a scientific background.

He makes some unusual claims, but the people who are telling you it's ridiculous have never read a word he's written.

Go read some of his stuff and make your own decision."

Nah.  Hoagland is a nut, plain and simple.

There's no cities on the moon or mars.

Answer 7

its possible but unlikely becouse thers no atmosphere and the moon was blown off of the earth nearly 3 billion years ago/from a huge meteor true]but who nos anythings possible but that radio thing was prob a joke.

Answer 8

Check out Richard C. Hoagland's "Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA".  Hoagland claims there are all kinds of structures on the Moon that have been photographed.  Most of the pictures are low resolution, but there's certainly something there.

Answer 9

Let me guess - you were listening to Coast to Coast.  No, there's no ancient city on the Moon.  No, there's no record of astronauts finding anything.  No, there's no reason for NASA to cover up anything.  Can you imagine how much more funding they'd get if they found something like that?  No, it's not true.  But there are plenty of nutcases out there who don't care about check facts before spouting ignorance.

Answer 10

These so-called structures, particularly the "towers" are the result of slight mismatches in satellite photographs.  There is an identical mismatch on Google Earth photographs of the countryside about 25 minutes drive south of where I live but there is no tower there - I have been there recently.

People like that claim all sorts of stuff,  I'm waiting for the one that says the ancient Egyptians had cures for all forms of cancer.

Answer 11

It's not true!  Australia and Austria don't have any austranauts!

Answer 12

Hearsay has it that there once was a watering hole that only served Samuel Adams Utopias to spacefarers.  Unfortunately the first settlers knew nothing about creating a magnetic field to protect themselves from cosmic rays.  They also didn't know that building an atmosphere would protect them from gamma, x-ray and uv rays.  

So it became a ghost town.

Then they discovered superconducting rings and dynamos...and the rest is history.

Answer 13

I must admit that finding an ancient city on the Moon would be cool.  It has to be the couple of Archeology classes I took or something, but imagine, no water, air or flora degradation of an site....  <drool>

Coast to Coast.  Gotta be.  Bigfoot's baby momma, that guy that worked on reverse engineering flying saucers, but drives a Prius...  and of course, ghosts.

I love ghosts.  There's gotta be what?  40 billion of them by now?  Stacked up like cordwood all around us.

A Prius.  (did anyone laugh?)

Answer 14

Wow, the FIRST PARAGRAPH of the Richard C. Hoagland article says he's a "nonscientist who is not subject to peer review, he is free to dissent from the body of knowledge represented by astronomy and planetary science".  

That in itself leads me to put his credibility right next to the National Enquirer and youtube.
