Ancient Sunken City Discovered Off Shores of Cuba. Maybe

King Africa writes "Explorers using a miniature submarine to probe the sea floor off the coast of Cuba said on Thursday they had confirmed the discovery of stone structures deep below the ocean surface that may have been built by an unknown human civilization thousands of years ago. The explorers said they believed the mysterious structures, discovered at the astounding depth of around 2,100 feet and laid out like an urban area, could have been built at least 6,000 years ago. That would be about 1,500 years earlier than the great Giza pyramids of Egypt. " The BBC has a bit more substantative article on this as well - but I do wonder how they assigned the date "of at least 6000 years ago" to this.

They just make up a number

They just make up any old number and say they used a special method to date the stuff. Then they take a big chunk of money from their funders and say it was for carbon dating ;o) . Does Carbon dating work for things under water?

Actually, photos of this were taken by U-2 aircraft back in the fall of '62, but other pictures were more interesting, so they got shoved aside. Try the Freedom of Information Act.

I agree. Completely implausible. Especially since there are no books that would give an account of any kind of flooding like that, or anything...

these "scientists" are spreading mere speculation

[tkolich62]

These people are just seeking attention. Why would they give all this info out if it is "irresponsible" to proclaim that it is indeed a human civilization? Irresponsible indeed.

I think a major indicator of the validity of this "finding" is the lack of pictures released to the public. Why are there no pictures so that we all can see and say, "Wow! They're right!"?

I say they found a bunch of rocks.

6000 years rediculous.

6000 years would have placed it before the Universal flood, unless this city is fosilized, it would be rediculous to say that it's 6000 years old, and, not to troll, but 4500 years is too early for Egypt also considering geneologies, The people falling away from God to have such a rediculous reason for building the structures, etc.

Egypt was blessed by God because they obeyed him for a large amount of time after the tower of Babel. Before the end of the world, Egypt will return to God and be very prosperous (Isaiah 20).

This is a VERY interesting find, and perhaps with more evidence it will get the "Native" Americans to shut up about us cheating them (Stupid anti-seminole mascots).
