Dr Robert Schoch (geologist/geophysist), speculates in his recent book Voyages Of The Pyramid Builders, that the inhabitants of Sundaland took to the seas as their land went underwater at the end of the Ice Age and took their custom of pyramid building with them all over the world. Interesting book.

Thanks, I'll check that out! I've been exploring the possibility of contact between pyramid/ziggurat builders in Sumeria, Egypt, and India; didn't know about Indonesia. BTW speaking of that I recently started a book (another one!--LOL!) about a Pacific island with megaliths called Nan Madol, which might relate to Schoch's thesis.

BTW, Schoch says the underwater 'pyramids' found off the coast of Japan are natural formations. I saw a 'special' where he was swimming around these structures in scuba equipment.

I recently read somewhere that they seemed to be natural, too. Have you heard any recent progress in the research into the ones off Cuba?

No. Schoch said that from all that he has seen on this (presumably he's seen as much as us and probably more), they are natural structures too.

Nan Madol

(A quick check of Schoch's book didn't turn up any mention of Nan Madol)
