An amazing rock mass has emerged from the seawater near the offshore islands of Pharonga, located 20 miles south of Sittwe, the capital of Arakan State, report numerous witnesses.

Rock Mass Emerges Off Arakan Coast
A fishing boat owner said, "We have never seen a rock mass before in the area near Pharonga Island. Now there is a rock mass appearing from the sea and it is very strange and wonderful for all."

The location of the rock mass is seven miles south of Pharonga Island, 20 miles southeast of Sittwe. The rock mass is 10 feet high when the tide is low, and remains five feet above the sea when the tide is high.

How does a volcanic rock rising above the water's surface justify the title of this thread? Why did you even post this?

Apparently anything deemed "unusual" now gets reported here. I wonder what the connection to 2012 is? Unless the connection is forthcoming, I would be ok.with locking this thread.

I think it's very interesting. I hadn't heard about it. I remember when Surtsey erupted and became an island back in the sixties. I'll be interested to see when Loihi, the Hawaiian seamount, reaches the surface. But you're probably all correct. The 2012ers will try to make something of it. I broke a fingernail today. Ooooh no! It's a sign of 2012!

Be patient, it will appear in the 2012 hoax once someone thinks this is a sign of some kind;

Alex (guest) 19 Jan 2011 18:55

it doesn't necessarily have to do anything with mayans/2012 or anything in that realm

They are able to invent the most woo story ever. Why they wouldn't use this island as a proof? Anyway, you should close this thread before some doomsayer discover this new "evidence".

It's a good thread for "Off topic" category. Next time you create a thread not related to 2012, post there. Anyway, isn't a landmass, but just a rock.
In November a new island was "created" near France (I'm not sure if it was near France or Africa).

Peace!

I smell a hoax.
A Google search for 'Pharonga' throws up nothing but the precise wording in the original post and link and (naturally) many links to assorted woo sites.
Perhaps 'Pharonga' is Burmese for 'chump'.

I think we should have a collective noun for woo sites. How about 'delusion'?

Oh, you are right. I searched for "Pharonga", "Sittwe" and "Arakan" in Google Earth. 000 results.
It doesn't smells a hoax. Now, it is a hoax.

Sittwe is the captal of Rakhine state (formerly Arakan state) in Myanmar, so they are genuine. There is a large island (Myingun) to the south, plus a few rocks, but no Pharonga. The pictures are probably just photos of one of these rocks and, far from recently appearing, it has been there all the time.

Something like that happened in Pakistan and in France (http://www.guide2poitoucharentes.com/news/225/New-island-emerges-off-the-coast-of-Royan-Charente-Maritime)
This happens due to tectonic plates activity in the ocean during many years.

I wondered about that, since I had never heard of Pharonga but I hadn't done a search yet to see if it actually exists.

Re: new landmass appearing

Tomy2011 19 Jan 2011 20:03

I made a search in Google Earth, but mysteriously, no results. So I thought: "No, it's false". After Bikenbeer say Pharonga does exists, I searched in Google Maps and I found Pharonga, finally.

Re: new landmass appearing

bikenbeer2000 19 Jan 2011 22:49

I didn't say Pharonga existed. What's its latitude & longitude?

Re: new landmass appearing

Tomy2011 19 Jan 2011 23:14

Oh, sorry. Actually I found Sittwe and Arakan (not Pharonga) both in Google Maps, but mysteriously I didn't found them in Google Earth.
