The Submerged Atlantic Mega City
VIDEOS OF NEW DISCOVERY OF MEGA-GRID-CITY ON ATLANTIC FLOOR
You Tube Video #1
You Tube Video #2
A perfect rectangular Mega-Grid-City composed of “designed” massive canals (one mile in width, suggesting the “Age of Giants”), covering an area the size of Wales, was discovered with Google Ocean (a Google Earth sub-feature) at the shocking depth of 3.5 miles below sea level, or 18,480 feet! It sits on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean floor off the coast of the Canary Islands. The extremely perpendicular layout with right angles (which does not occur in nature) suggests its intelligently constructed artificial origin.
Google Earth officials and skeptics have attempted to discount the find by stating it is the result of sonar patterns produced during mapping, yet the internet giant said blank spots within the lines could not be explained. However, this red herring explanation does not hold water (no pun intended) because if this were truly the case, then the floor of the entire oceanic basins would be a plethora of such grid patterns produced from sonar mapping, but there is literally no other such grid anomaly elsewhere on the ocean floors of Google Ocean/Earth. Hence, this explanation fails the test.
My analysis: this is a pre-Flood city during Noah’s Antidiluvium Age when the sea level of the Edenic Earth was vastly lower and the seas of today did not exist, but shallow regional seas isolated by intermittent land formations. Also note the 2001 discovery by Russian oceanographer, Dr. Paulina Zelitsky, of a 20 kilometer submerged city off the west coast of Cuba in the Yucatan Strait (an ancient coastal city with massive pyramids) located at about 2,800 feet below sea level. This discovery is just as remarkable considering that the conventional geological sciences postulate a maximum Ice Age sea level drop of a mere 145 feet about 20,000 to 12,000 years ago… obviously the evidence suggests this is completely in error: http://www.reversesp...anteancity.html

A team of Canadian and Cuban researchers have discovered the remains of what may be a 6,000-year-old city submerged in deep sea waters off the western coast of Cuba. Using sophisticated sonar and videotape equipment, offshore engineer Paulina Zelitsky, her husband, Paul Weinzweig, and her son, Ernesto Tapanes, have found megaliths "of a kind you'd find at Stonehenge or Easter Island," Mr. Weinzweig said in an interview yesterday.
"Some structures within the complex may be as long as 400 metres wide and as high as 40 metres," he said. "Some are sitting on top of each other. They show very distinct shapes and symmetrical designs of a non-natural kind. We've shown them to scientists in Cuba, the U.S. and elsewhere, and nobody has suggested they are natural." Moreover, an anthropologist affiliated with the Cuban Academy of Sciences has said that still photos taken from the videotape clearly show "symbols and inscriptions," Mr. Weinzweig said.
It is not yet known in what language the inscriptions are written. The sonar images, he added, bear a remarkable resemblance to the pyramidal design of Mayan and Aztec temples in Mexico. Mr. Weinzweig said it is too early to draw firm conclusions from the evidence collected so far. The research team plans another foray to the site — off the Guanahacabibes Peninsula on Cuba's western tip — next month. Next summer, it hopes to return again, this time with the first deep-water mobile excavator, equipped with functions needed for on-site archeological evaluation, including the ability to blow sand off stone. Geologists have recently hypothesized that a land bridge once connected Cuba to Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. And portions of the Cuban island are believed to have been submerged in the sea on three separate occasions in the distant past.
The structures are on a plateau that forms the bottom of what is thought to be a mud volcano, 650 to 700 metres beneath the surface of the ocean and along what is clearly a geological fault line. "It's well known that ancient civilizations liked to build at the base of volcanoes, because the land is fertile. So that's suggestive," Mr. Weinzweig said.
One tantalizing possibility, entirely speculative for now, is that if the legendary sunken continent of Atlantis is ever proven to have existed, these structures may have been submerged during the same cataclysm. Mr. Weinzweig simply says that more information is needed. "We'd prefer to stay away from that subject. This is something of great potential scientific interest, but it must involve serious authorities on ancient civilizations."
The precise age of the underwater site is also unknown, although Cuban archeologists in 1966 excavated a land-based megalithic structure on the western coast, close to the new underwater discovery, said to date from 4000 BC. "Based on that and other geological information, we're speculating that these are 6,000 years old," he explained. "It's not exact, but they're very ancient." If that dating estimate proves accurate, it would mean that an ancient civilization had designed and erected these vast stone structures in the Americas only 500 years after human settlements first became organized in cities and states. They would also have been built long before the wheel was invented in Sumeria (3500 BC), or the sundial in Egypt (3000 BC). The three pyramids on Egypt's Giza plateau are thought to have been constructed between 2900 and 2200 BC.
The couple's Havana-based company, Advanced Digital Communications, discovered the site in July of 2000, using side-scan sonar equipment to view what resembled an underwater city, complete with roads, buildings and pyramids. The team returned this past summer with a 1.3-tonne, unmanned Remotely Operated Vehicle, controlled from the mother ship via fibre-optic cable. Its cameras confirmed the earlier findings, showing vast granite-like blocks, between two and five metres in length, that were cut in perpendicular and circular designs. But because of technical problems, Mr. Weinzweig said, "we were only able to survey the perimeter of the site. Based on initial explorations, we think it's much larger than even our sonar projections show. It may extend for several kilometres."
In addition to the archeological site, ADC has been exploring what Mr. Weinzweig calls "the richest underwater cemetery in the world" for sunken Spanish galleons. Hundreds of treasure-bearing ships are said to lie around the island, several hundred to several thousand metres deep. Last year, off Havana Bay, it found the remains of USS Maine, the battleship that blew up in 1898. That incident, never entirely explained, killed 260 sailors and precipitated the Spanish-American War.
