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.” It is unknown at this time how the city came to be on the sea floor, and not on dry land. “We have several theories.” The team hopes to conduct a massive mapping and research expedition, to learn as much as possible about who these people were, before turning the site over to the Caribbean island’s home government. “Whatever we’ve found does not belong to us,” the project’s leader said, “It belongs to the people of this island, and to the world at-large. If any pieces are brought to the surface, they belong in the hands of a museum.” The project team asks that for more information, or to find out how to help fund their research, please contact the Herald de Paris’ publisher, Jes Alexander, at a specially set-up telephone number: 415-738-7811.

It's where mermaids lived. ;-)
Amazing. Thank you.
Avoiding foreign entanglements is the best domestic policy.
Yeah, because gee that's never happened before. *rolleyes*
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Not that it was needed. But yet more proof of the validity of Gods word which can ONLY be found in the Bible.

By the looks of the photos and the scale of what is presented, what has been seen by "satellites" should be visible from the surface or at least from relatively low altitude. The Caribbean has been pretty thoroughly navigated over the past 500 years. You think someone might have noticed these formations. I'm skeptical, to say the least.
Who knows?
I'll bet that's where all them al Queefers is hidin' that hates us fer our freeeedums. Better nuke it.
Better safe than sorry. We got lotsa bombs & never get to use 'em. 4th of July.
Home of the Elder Gods!!!! YES CTHULHU!!!!! ALL HAIL OUR AQUATIC OVERLORDS!!!
Better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are not.
that's funny ;P
Very interesting ... I think there are lots of these out there.
Doing what's right isn't always easy but it's always right.
Wow, there's a huge leap, but it is no surprise because many other huge leaps are required to accept the bible as any sort of truth, so what's one more leap for good measure. It really is too bad that we don't have a time machine to send you ignorant fucks back to the bronze age where you so long to be.
I guess to these people if they don't see a sign that says "Atlantis" in English then it can't be Atlantis. Since Plato placed the end of Atlantis around 10,000 BC, if the ruins were above water around that time then it most likely is Atlantis.

Wow, there's a huge leap, but it is no surprise because many other huge leaps are required to accept the bible as any sort of truth There is not any word about Atlantis or any other lost civilization in the Bible. There are a lot of lurid stories about murder, unnatural acts, war, and revenge though, at least in the Old Testament.
Yeah. God killed the bad guys. Good for God. He's going to do it again. Sad to be one of the bad guys.

Better nuke it. Are you telling me that you've done a survey of the area and have found oil there?
