"Anything more on this story since 2002?"

Go look at:

Artifacts or Geofacts? Alternative Interpretations of Items
from the Gulf of Cambay - [www.intersurf.com]

Badrinaryan, 2006, Gulf of Cambay Cradle of Ancient Civilization
GHMB - [www.grahamhancock.com]

Ruins in the Gulf of Cambay - [en.wikipedia.org]

Talk:Ruins in the Gulf of Cambay - [en.wikipedia.org]

Given that the best, which the supporters of the "ruins" can do is
"publish" in the Graham Hancock Messageboard and Wikipedia, it seems
like they are failing at making a convincing case for their
interpertations.

One major setback, which they had, is after the sonar equipment was
refurbished, they were unable to relocate the "ruins" which appeared
on the sonar scans despite having GPS locations for them. As I
stated on a previous article.

"This is quite true. However, in article, which I can't find at
the moment, I read that they were unable even to relocate certain
"ruins" in a followup sonar survey despite having the Global
Positioning System (GPS) coordinates for where the original
sonar survey was conducted. The inability of them to replicate
their sonar images was explained away as the result of shifting
sand buring the structures. However, it also can be explain as
the result of randon nature of artifacts in the images caused
by glitches in sonar gear and software used to process the data.
It might be no conincidence that many of the "ruins" disappeared
after the sonar gear was refurbished. The difficulties of
exploring the bottom of the Bay of Cambay does not excused the
lack of ground-truthing of the sonar images. The difficulties of
ground-truthing interpretations made from satellite images does
not excuse the case for the artificial for the "Face on Mars"
from being questioned."
