Perhaps eclipsing the discoveries of Troy and King Tut’s tomb is the discovery of Atlantis. Now, two daring scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, claim they’ve found it. They discovered the submerged ruins of the ancient city off the shores of Cuba. In the distant past the region was dry land, but now only the island of Cuba remains above water. The ancient city is 600 feet below the ocean and the team of researchers led by Weinzweig and Zalitzki are convinced it is Atlantis—the city lost for more than 10,000 years.
Two scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, working off the coast of Cuba and using a robot submersible, have confirmed that a gigantic city exists at the bottom of the ocean. The site of the ancient city—that includes several sphinxes and at least four giant pyramids plus other structures—amazingly sits within the boundries of the fabled Bermuda Triangle.
According to a report by arclein of Terra Forming Terra, Cuban Subsea Pyramid Complex, the evidence points to the city being simultaneously inundated with rising waters and the land sinking into the sea. This correlates exactly with the Atlantis legend.
The disaster may have occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. As the Arctic icecap catastrophically melted it caused sea levels to rise quickly around the world, especially affecting the Northern Hemisphere. Coast lines changed; land was lost; islands (even island continents) disappeared.
This is why Fidel Castro wanted nothing to do with America. He we be the last of the Mohicans to guard the secret against his oppressors!
Actually for a change this claim is reasonable. Plato describes Atlantis as being beyond the pillars of Hercules. To understand that you need to know who Hercules is, so turn your maps (google earth is good) of the entire area, from Gibraltar, the middle east down past India, so West is pointing North. You will see Hercules holding his two pillars, Europe and Africa apart. Beyond the pillars places Atlantis in the Atlantic ocean.
Plato then continues describing it as a large continent the size of Africa and Europe combined. Not a small island. The time described would fit with the end of the last ice age when most of the ice melted between then and 6’000 years ago. It then slowed down to a steady 1 to 3mm sea level increase per year ever since
