I thought that everyone knew you were 6'2". (Ahem)
Let's just say I hope to keep growing, and leave it at that. {ggg}.

No, I'm not talking about plate tectonics, I'm talking about crustal displacement. The entire crust moves at once. The ancient Egyptians claim that they're the oldest civilization because they've observed three of these movements. At the same time of Joshua where the bible says the sun didn't set for a whole day, the ancient inhabitants of Mexico (being on the other side of the planet) said the sun didn't rise for a whole day and through the night they guessed where it would rise (apparently this had happened in their history before), the ones that guessed what is presently the east were correct.
But done by humans, contrary to what Schott said.
Schott said that IF any of the features were done by humans, it was done to an already existing natural structure before it went below the waves.
He also said, "If you find anything other than what I've already been shown, I'll be on the first plane back." (...or something close to that)
I wasn't impressed with anything I saw until I saw the large carved human faces on those huge structures. Those got my attention. (I immediately thought of Mt Rushmore)
Do you take Einstein seriously?
"In a polar region there is a continual deposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth's rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses [of ice], and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth's crust over the rest of the earth's body, and this will displace the polar regions toward the equator."
- Albert Einstein From The Path of the Pole by Charles Hapgood.
Einstein also stated:
"In a polar region there is continual deposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth's rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses, and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth's crust over the rest of the earth's body."
LOL Obviously. No one is claiming ancient scuba divers did it.

It's unfortunate that Schott made his statements right before the faces were photographed. He wouldn't say the same thing now, that's for sure.
Let me expand on this. Schott said he thought that any human-carved features would've been done to an already existing structure. Yet isn't the claim that the high underwater currents of that region created the structure? So it wouldn't have been created until the structure went underwater. Why would humans carve faces on something that didn't exist yet? And we know they didn't wait until it went underwater. And if the faces were carved, then the structure went underwater to be "finished" by the currents, why did the currents leave the faces intact? So if there has been only one ocean-rising event, then the whole structure was above water and made by humans. Humans may have used the natural grain of the structure to make their stages, but the ocean currents did not do it. The faces prove it.
Meantime, their language had changed from Semitic in family to Indoeuropean, which is difficult enough to understand given that their Assyrian captors were themselves Semitic. Celtic is also on a rather different branch from the Persian flavor of Indoeuropean. Therefore, it's hard to see what a Lost Tribe of Israel with the history you relate is doing speaking it.
I noticed that too.
I'll give more thought to crustal plate (rapid) movement theory. I'm still a skeptic though.
Nope, the water didn't do anything. Didn't you see the exact same structures on land nearby? The structures were above water, the humans rearranged and carved some faces on them, then, the oceans rose and covered them. (it's that simple)
I'm thinking of the washing machine, when you have clothes in the 'spin' cycle and there's a pair of jeans wadded up on one side.
The 'clunk clunk clunk' you can hear from the other side of the house caused by the imbalance.
As I see it, this *has* to happen to a spinning ball like the Earth as ice builds up. And computers should be able to give some very good ideas as to the how, when, where.
The one big question to me is, what about the acceleration from such a momentum change? Wouldn't that destroy all buildings, throw people miles, etc?
We now know 'gravity' is actually curvature of the 'fabric' of the universe. Is it possible something about gravity prevents us from such acceleration changes outside our slice of 'space/time'?
That's what I was thinking, not to mention that movement like that would cause the world's oceans to 'slosh' over all the land masses on earth and destroy and kill everything.
It would explain a worldwide flood though.
But, I'm still thinkin'.
