Previously undiscovered ancient city found on Caribbean sea floor

WASHINGTON, DC (Herald de Paris) - EXCLUSIVE - Researchers have revealed the first images from the Caribbean sea floor of what they believe are the archaeological remains of an ancient civilization. Guarding the location’s coordinates carefully, the project’s leader, who wishes to remain anonymous at this time, says the city could be thousands of years old; possibly even pre-dating the ancient Egyptian pyramids, at Giza.

The site was found using advanced satellite imagery, and is not in any way associated with the alleged site found by Russian explorers near Cuba in 2001, at a depth of 2300 feet. “To be seen on satellite, our site is much shallower.” The team is currently seeking funding to mount an expedition to confirm and explore what appears to be a vast underwater city. “You have to be careful working with satellite images in such a location,” the project’s principle researcher said, “The digital matrix sometimes misinterprets its data, and shows ruins as solid masses. The thing is, we’ve found structure - what appears to be a tall, narrow pyramid; large platform structures with small buildings on them; we’ve even found standing parallel post and beam construction in the rubble of what appears to be a fallen building. You can’t have post and beam without human involvement.”

Asked if this city is the legendary city of Atlantis, the researchers immediately said no. “The romanticized ideal of Atlantis probably never existed, nor will anyone ever strap on a SCUBA tank, jump in the water, and find a city gateway that says, ‘Welcome to Atlantis.’ However, we do believe that this city may have been one of many cities of an advanced, seafaring, trade-based civilization, which may have been visited by their Eurocentric counterparts.”

I was leafing through some old National Geographics and found 17 pics that may hold clues to the ancient past!!!

I’m NOT setting up a special phone line, but you CAN send me MONEY to further my research!

Right now looking at the images i would think these images are false. The detail of the image and the artifacts in the images don't seem right. Some of the images look like a a picture of Caribbean blue water over an off nadir image or tilted image to create this. The image had to be taken at less that 100m depth becuase of the diffusion of light and I believe we would have found such a site earlier if such structures existed at such a shallow depth. I do not see shadow, I do not see variety of structure, nor artifacts that would conclude an ancient site. sorry this seems to be plain hokum ala piltdown city.

Hey, if I had money to send to someone for reading old National Geographics, it would be you. :’)

Maybe the 'discoverer' is hoping for people who can't read, but like pretty pictures.

Are these the same guys that had Bigfoot in a freezer?
