You do know that 98% of the worlds oceans have never been explored right?

I don't want to leave anything left unsaid....
do you know that we know more about the moon than our oceans?

1. The Mariana Trench
2. Antarctica
3. Amazon Rainforest
4. Several caves around world- ex: Yucatan Cenotes
5. Deserts by and large are unexplored
6. We know very little about our own oceans

The world is now small. There are no more unknown places. No foreign lands to be discovered. No mysterious wilderness to be settled by brave and hearty people. No natural resources to be exploited, or fortunes to be made, or indigenous populations to be slaughtered. You can't just hop on a ship seeking a new life.
We discover about 15,000 to 18,000 new species every single year.
Go find you something new.

St Bernard Parish still hasn't been fully explored

The civil rights movement sort of destroyed achieving any grand feats of civilization, like going to space. Open borders immigration play has been terrible. It is the chase of the all mighty dollar at every expense now. Countries are getting absolutely wrecked by the elite's no fricks given pursuit of profit.

Speak less, read more.
New finds are challenging everything we know about the ancient world. The revelations at Gobekle Tepe:

are mind-blowing and question everything we thought we knew. How in the hell did man build shite like this 11,500 years ago:
Let this soak in: that was built 6,000 years BEFORE the pyramids of Giza.
First thing we need to do is get over ourselves. Admit our arrogance and be open to ideas that might challenge our egos.
The ancient world is older and more incredible than we ever believed.

Really? I thought fish made it.
The pillars weigh between 10-50 tons. Show us all how man did that with technology from over 11,000 years ago. That's over 5,000 years before we believe the wheel was invented.

It takes a whole lot of baws, but shite can get done that way.

Obviously man did it with only primitive tools and they did this over 5000 years before ancient egyptians.
It's a little more complex than just man-power and a bunch of baws:
"At present Göbekli Tepe raises more questions for archaeology and prehistory than it answers. It remains unknown how a force large enough to construct, augment, and maintain such a substantial complex was mobilized and compensated or fed in the conditions of pre-sedentary society. Scholars cannot interpret the pictograms, and do not know for certain what meaning the animal reliefs had for visitors to the site; the variety of fauna depicted, from lions and boars to birds and insects, makes any single explanation problematic."

I have heard that there are mountains on the Pacific Ocean floor that are taller than my. Everest.....

Gobekli tepe blows my mind . And most of it still remains buried.
The existence of this site just raises so many questions. It challenges what we know about ancient man

I've seen more creatures from the unseen depths of the oceans to make me never want to explore there.

It is mind blowing for sure. People immediately want to lump it together with the Egyptians, since that's what most people associate with the ancient world, but this is thousands of years before that period.
Exactly, only 5% of it has been excavated. That's amazing!

We've pretty much got space figured and mapped out. There might be a asteroid here or there left to find but mostly it's all figured.

Seems like something you should have included in your link-less, original post.
