Timo Johann found this cool Google Earth satellite photo. I don’t speak French, but these buildings look extremely similar to some alphabet letters, don’t they? Could it only be a coincidence? I really doubt it, they represent letters obviously. So, if anyone here knows French, help us and translate the meaning? Or did we all fall under illusion, and there is no hidden message. Every now and then someone finds strange Google Earth location, and mails it to me. I post only the best, and those that have anything to do with optical illusions. I still have few hundred submitted illusions in my mailbox, so don’t worry if you don’t see you rsubmission posted yet.

i speak french but i cant really make out the letters… if someone can tell me what the letters are i can tell you if it means anything
…Same here but i don’t see much…
Why not “Val d’oise”? That’s a French region. Maybe where the photograph has been taken.
it is a message from aliens and it means we come to destroy humanity to ∑´ çøµ´ †ø ∂´ß†®ø¥ ˙¨µå˜ˆ†¥

Well find out a common architecture of these buildings and ask him directly.
The top row og buildings spells “google” (with the E being formed in relief on a 45 degree angle).
On the second row, the buildings form “dE” – “of” or “from” in French & “liÉ” (2nd building forms capital E & lower case l – L/H end of 3rd building forms É), meaning “linked”.
The R/H part of the 2nd building from the right forms a capital B and the far R/H building is clearly a capital E.
The far R/H building in the 3rd row is in the shape of a capitial C. The french word “BEC” translates as “Beak” in English.
So, it appears to say “Google link of the beak”. If you Google the word “Beak” the top link is to the Wikipedia page about bird beaks. This then leads to a link to Darwin’s voyage on the Beagle & his first clues to evolution coming from the different beak shapes of the Galapagos finches.
Quite clearly, this is one big, French, “Up Yours!” to creationists, (R)Evolution is the key.

google translate! ROFL
i think its beibe
i dont understand it
it is what many would call an angelic* language. if it is it means “yet to come”
*i do not mean angel i mean an ancient language that only a few can translate. it is a lost dialect of the anlo people.
I do I be? Cool!
Hey so the top line spells out vais like the s is pretty hard to see but its their…then i dont no if you see it the first letter actually looks like l’j instead of id
so we have vais l’joiee which means
with joy.
so we just need the last line i guess..
toc means fake so we just need the first bit of the last line
I GOT IT IT SAYS
vais l’joiee il jou
WHICH MEANS will the joy he played!!!!!!!!!!!!!
probly meaning will he play with joy or somthething likenthat immmm so smart:)
WAIT I FORGOT TOC SO IT MEANS NOW
THE JOY HE’LL FAKE….
Well, i looked up this on google translate, but it says in italian only, gold foibe
Do you guys really think different architects working in the same town mind about making a “secret message” for people to try to understand I’m a french and there are absolutely no understandable word there. Paris architect are trying to put as much buildings and living places as possible while taking as less space as possible. Coincidence, that’s all i see
In Portuguese, taking the words “vai ido Ibe” it translates into “Ibe will come” according to Google :P. The name Ibe is African in origin but why architect would write an African name in Portuguese over France is unknown haha
Just noticed, it’s case sensitive apparently. Could say “ibe will come” or “Ibe going gone”
If you flip the image over the middle says 38 ICP
hello i am french, and the words is not french
true that, im bilingual.
to me it looks like “ABIBE”.
OH yeah 38 ICP
First line. “lé oūí,”. I can’t figure out the second line then “=” infinity. ( sign for infinity is the sideways 8. The punctuation is in the words
:) if u scroll down / up at a certain speed it looks like waves!
