In early 2001, a group of Canadian researchers spotted off the coast of Cuba, about 700 meters deep, what appeared to be the ruins of an ancient submerged city, with a monumental structures, including four large pyramids, a monument like the Sphinx and several monoliths with inscriptions. In the aftermath of the discovery, several national cvc governments and the National Geographic promised to undertake a series of studies on the underwater site. A distance of 13 years, however, cvc the discovery seems to be falling deliberately oblivion ... why?
The scans performed by a Canadian research team, led by Pauline Zalitzki, a marine engineer and her husband, Paul Weinzweig, showed a clear urban settlement, with significant monumental structures of granite, including four large pyramids, a monument like the Sphinx and several monoliths with inscriptions.
The couple, owners of a Canadian company called Advanced Digital Communications, were conducting a fact-finding mission commissioned by the Cuban government off the coast of the peninsula of Guanahacabibes in Pinar del Río Province cvc of Cuba, in order to locate the wrecks lying on the ocean floor of the hundreds of ships laden with Spanish colonial-era treasures.
Thanks to the use of sonar, the team was able to identify the majestic symmetrical structures cvc on the ocean floor, apparently made of smooth blocks of stone similar to granite square.
According to some researchers, there may be a settlement built in the pre-classical period, by an unknown culture of Central America, which pushed up the islands of the Caribbean. cvc The ruins might have more than 6000 years, a date preceding 1500 years, the official dating of the great pyramids of Egypt. cvc Some have not hesitated to speculate that it may be the remains of the legendary Atlantis.
"It's a really cvc wonderful structure which really seems to have been a large urban center. However, cvc it would be totally irresponsible to say what it is without more evidence, "however, had to say after the discovery Zalitzki.
The discovery cvc attracted the attention cvc of governments, cvc national museums and National Geographic, who all promised to investigate the strange images appeared on the sonar. Yet, after 13 years, the discovery seems to be deliberately fall into oblivion. What ever happened to the "ruins" of submerged Cuba? And because the media has stubbornly remained silent on this unusual discovery?
In July 2001, the two returned to the site with the geologist Manuel Itarrulde, a researcher at the Museum of Natural History of Cuba, this time equipped with a Remotely Operated cvc Vehicle to examine and film structures. cvc The images have revealed large blocks of granite about 3 feet long squared; some of these blocks seem deliberately stacked one above the other.
"These structures are extremely unusual," admitted Iturralde. "If I had to explain this geologically I have some difficulties." The geologist estimates that the facilities, to be located at that depth, must have formed at least 50,000 cvc years ago, "there was a time when this technology to build complex buildings," Iturralde reasons.
Moreover, the same Iturralde noted that there are local legends and Maya Yucateos that tell of an island inhabited by their ancestors disappeared cvc beneath the waves. "What we found could be the remains of a local culture that stood on the land bridge that connected the Mexican peninsula of Yucatan and Cuba," said the Zelitsky.
There remains a question why were not conducted investigations after the discovery promises. Although the mysterious structures are the result of a bizarre natural phenomenon, cvc one would expect that geologists and other scientists would not exist to investigate the cause that produced them.
Strangely, after extensive studies have not been reported by news agencies, dropping the question slow
