A Central Florida man believes he has discovered what's left of a highly advanced ancient civilization by using some new technology, and says some of the evidence is right here on the Suncoast.
"Looking further, I begin to find the real beauty in Cortez." John Jensen is no archaeologist. He says he's just an amatuer researcher of what's under the water. Well, what he says he's observed from the sky could rewrite the history of the world. "I recognize some patterns that appear to be man-made, or at least not natural."
He's identified more than 60 sites in places like Louisiana, New Jersey and Florida as what he calls ancient channels, canals, and harbors. A handful are from Tampa down to Ft. Myers, including one in Englewood and one around Cortez in Manatee County. "There's a horseshoe with a circle in the center of it, and other lines around it that suggest that they're not natural."
Jensen says the sites are now about five feet underwater, and says there are underwater banks and edges which indicate they were built before the sea level rise six to seven thousand years ago. "That's the result of the process of digging above water, is to dump the refuse on the bank beside it."
"They definitely were modifying their environment. A canal system or harbor system is not that unthinkable at all." Jodi Pracht is the Archaeologist for Sarasota County. She says our area has some of the oldest evidence of human inhabitance in all of North America, dating back between 10,000 and 12,000 years.
As far as Jensen's claims she's not so sure. "At the years this gentleman is talking about, and the level of modification...the science does not support that."
At places like the Indian Mound park in Englewood there is evidence people lived here an awfully long time ago. However Jensen says his evidence suggests it's much bigger then we ever thought. "(The diggings) probably were not made by some folks wearing leather buckskins, breechcloths and baskets on their heads."
Jensen says the widths of some of the underwater waterways are larger than the Panama Canal -- something which would have required some serious innovation. "Underwater sunken systems that require technology to produce that is beyond or at least equivalent to what we have today."
Jensen says he has uncovered some of the sites in just the past few months; perhaps finding something experts have yet to even see, let alone attempt to explain...at least for now. "The science is very conservative. There is probably a lot more going on out there than as a professional you would agree with out loud," says Pracht.
Naturally occurring or man made? How about from something not human at all? Jensen says he doesn't know, but perhaps the answers are just beyond the water's edge. "Depth reading and core samples will absolutely rewrite everything we know about history."
Jensen says his work and his theories are catching on. His website, which he says he makes no money on, is now receiving more than 25,000 hits a month.

Here in my corner of michigan you’ll find “Marl” pits around lakes and swampy areas. They look pretty similar because they’re dredged the same way. My swimming hole from my teen years was a place called Lime lake and we used to dive off the concrete barge the dredger once rode on.
Marl is a lime clay gravel mix. They don’t appear to use it a whole lot these days or at least they don’t dig it around here much.

His skin is surprisingly pleasant to the touch you know.
I remember reading about a canal dug in central Florida by Indians, however it was fairly narrow and shallow, though I think it was a mile or two in length.
Wasn’t it Edgar Cayce who predicted that “Atlantis” would be found in the Atlantic off the Florida coast?
Modern Floridians could not bubble intestinal gas from a bathtub without serious and intense instruction and a case of free baked beans.

Thanks, of course the professionals will dismiss it. Cause they are lazy!!!!
Your horse is mighty sick. Worst case of hookworm I ever saw.
Du-du-du-ra-ra-ra-rrattttttttttt. ;D

The people buried there were half male and half female.
Makes you wonder ... ☺
Could this be Atlantis?
The lost continent of Mu?
If everyone were half male and half female, you couldn't be attracted to the opposite sex. ☺
It is nice to get these pretty pictures, but so often on many sites there is no description/explanation to go with them. Enquiring minds really want to know, not be frustrated. Another site to check out Graham Hancock’s Forum. He is all about things that might now be underwater as the glacier melt has raised sea level 400 feet in the past 15,000 years. I understand that Ballard, who made those interesting finds at 500 feet in the Black Sea has moved to Texas to explore off shore. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Thanks potlatch
Florida has an incredible amount of sharp coral rock that has been used for paving roads and stabilizing large fields (like at out old schools) there
