A team of Canadian and Cuban researchers has stumbled upon the remnants of a 6000-year-old metropolis submerged in deep waters off the western coast of Cuba. Using advanced sonar and video equipment, Paul Weinzweig and his son Ernesto Tapanes discovered massive, non-natural structures resembling pyramids and megalithic designs found in ancient Mayan and Aztec sites.
Enigmatic Symbols and Inscriptions
The team’s footage revealed intricate symbols and inscriptions of an unknown language etched onto the structures. Cuban anthropologists and scientists from around the world have confirmed the artificial, symmetrical nature of these enigmatic formations.
Remnants of the Legendary Atlantis?
While further research is needed, one tantalizing theory suggests that these submerged structures could be remnants of the legendary lost continent of Atlantis, potentially swallowed by the same cataclysmic event. The site’s location on a fertile mud volcano plateau near geological fault lines aligns with the preferences of ancient civilizations.
A Remarkably Advanced Ancient Civilization
If the estimated age of 6,000 years is accurate, these massive stone structures predate significant technological advancements in human history, such as the invention of the wheel in Sumeria and the sundial in Egypt. Could an advanced civilization have flourished in the Americas mere centuries after the dawn of organized human settlements?
Ongoing Exploration and Research
Weinzweig and his team plan to return with a deep-water mobile excavator to conduct on-site archaeological evaluations. Involving genuine ancient civilization experts, they aim to unravel the mysteries surrounding this extraordinary underwater discovery, which could rewrite our understanding of early human societies.
