I remember back in the late 70s or early 80s, either National
Geographic or Smithsonian published an article in their magazine about the
'Bimini Stones'...the article concluded that rather than being a 'road' as
the stones were then referred to as, they in fact were the tops of walls
enclosing a vast harbor structure that at one time was at the water's edge
rather than being below water. The article went on to conclude that
the style of the harbor design was very similar to Phoenician
harbors...
I expected all sorts of 'further developments' from this
discovery/conclusion, and always thought it strange that nothing more came
of it, and indeed to this day the "Bimini Road" is still debated....

SEARCHING FOR A
LOST CITY
Most intriguingly, researchers using sonar equipment
have discovered, at a
depth of about 2,200 feet (700-800 meters), a
huge land plateau with clear
images of what appears to be urban
development partly covered by sand. From
above, the shapes resemble
pyramids, roads and buildings.
ADC is excited but reluctant to
speculate until a joint investigation
with the Cuban Academy of
Sciences and the National Geographic Society takes
place early this
summer.
"It is stunning. What we see in our high-resolution sonar images
are
limitless, rolling, white sand plains and, in the middle of this
beautiful
white sand, there are clear manmade large-size architectural
designs. It
looks like when you fly over an urban development in a
plane and you see
highways, tunnels and buildings," Zelitsky said.
"We don't know what it is, and we don't have the videotaped
evidence
of this yet, but we do not believe that nature is capable of
producing
planned symmetrical architecture, unless it is a miracle,"
she added in an
interview at her office at Tarara, along the coast east
of Havana.
