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 locations coordinates carefully, the projects 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 projects principle researcher said, The digital matrix sometimes misinterprets its data, and shows ruins as solid masses. The thing is, weve found structure - what appears to be a tall, narrow pyramid; large platform structures with small buildings on them; weve even found standing parallel post and beam construction in the rubble of what appears to be a fallen building. You cant 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.

Kind of hard to believe that with all the mapping and research done in the Caribbean this is the first time we came across this.
It is quite amazing.
where is the sarcasm tag?
Yes...especially with the Starbucks prominently displayed in the lower left edge of the city.....
*made you look!* :)
Didn’t Edgar Casey call this during one of his sleeping trances?
Clearly. I'm sure AlGore will back me up on this.
You really don't expect us to believe sea levels can rise and climate can change naturally do you?
More voters for ACORN to sign up.
Wonder how deep they were in debt.
uh oh....you mean the seas have been rising for ALL THESE YEARS????? OMG....where’s the SKY is Falling guy???? We’re gonna die!
I think your right on this. I am sure it was Global Warming that caused it. Better than an Ice Age which is GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN AGAIN
Exactly!
I believe in America today, 1 in 4 mortgages are “underwater”. But it appears that in some ancient cities, the situation is far worse.
Ooh, I see it! Right next to the dock where, knowing their fate, they sent out ships to all corners of the earth...on board were the 12...
Atlantis Ping
At what depth? ... There is a deeper ruin in the Black Sea, IIRC.
Yes he did, from what I know of his readings. I've heard and seen that mentioned many times in shows and articles about his life.

That looks just like an aerial shot of the San Fernando Valley in LA County.
I’m going to read the whole article, but I find it hard to believe that you can get pictures this sharp and detailed while looking through 2,300 feet of sea water.
