News: Cuban Underwater City

A cuban geologist, Manuel Iturralde, has stated that an investigation into an unusual rock formation off of Cuba's coastline, should reveal whether it is the remains of a 6000 year old city.

The rock formation is on the seabed off of Guanahacabibes Peninsula on the western tip of Cuba. It is said to cover 20 km2 area at depths of 600 metres.

Already words like "Atlantis" are being bandied around and many scientists are sceptical about its veracity.

If someone is interested in the latest news about the so called underwater city of Cuba, please visit www.medioambiente.cu/museo and search in Novedades>> "Megalitos submarinos". I am updating this same page as soon as any new data become available. At the present rate of the research, a monthly visit will do it.

The "skeptics" are already lining up to dismiss anything that does not fit within their narrow-minded theories- that is "The Bering Strait Paradigm" -that peoples only came via the Bering Strait land bridge 12 thousand years ago to people the Americas- Which is proving to be as false as the "Flat Earth"- or that "Earth is the center of the Universe" theories- This site and the Pedra Furada site in Brazil- will re-write mankind's "history"- and the incredible feats our early ancestors were capable of- It's about time "Academia" got it's well deserved boot in the butt.

Since first hearing of a possible Atlantean city located beneath the waters off Cuba and reading 'something' that National Geographic was going full-bore on underwater photography of this site my interest was heightened to say the least. However the last six months has brought nothing further. Has this been deemed a site wannabe? No nothing under the briney deep? I have heard nothing either way. What is happening? Thank you!

It seems that people in power do not wish to know that there was a previous civilization of significance 12,000 years ago, hence National Geographic is backing off on the exploration of the underwater city in 700m of water off Cuba. A few years ago, the authorities scrapped a documentary on the Bahamas - which indicated a tsunami wiped out a 6,000 year old civilization that was on the Bahama banks,(only the floors remain).(These people gave rise to the Celts and Basques). The only way for exploration on this subject to gain momentum is for an independant body of educated individuals, privately funded to gain permission from Cuba and America to proceed with the project.
There is a great deal of evidence that shows that Central and South America as well as the Caribbean were far more significant players in the beginnings of civilization than is presently accepted.

Hi, Andrew:

Paulina Zelitsky ran out of money and National Geographic did not do a production contract. I talked with NG about 5 months ago and they confirmed they had not communicated about the deep underwater megalithic structures for at least a year.

The last information I had was that Paulina Zelitsky was working on ships off Mexico for income. She needed an estimated $5 million to do robotic undersea drilling and photography. Don't know when that will happen, but when it does, I'll report about it at Earthfiles and COAST radio.

Sincerely,

In one of the original interviews, the Russian women scientist mentions a "huge submarine" at the site which moves off quickly.
No further mention is made of this sub., 1. whoever owns the sub knows of the xistence of the city and has know previously. 2. Was it a sub?

Atlantis? 12,000 year old and 6,000 year old civilizations? I presume that everyone who makes statements like this has documented and scientific proof that there is even a remote possibility that this could be half true? Why is it that because there's an underwater discovery of something that isn't immediately explainable everyone has to assume that this is Atlantis? Why could it not be just what many scientists are suggesting, and be the remnants of a very recent seismic disturbance that caused an underwater collapse, and what was on the surface is now under 2,300 feet of water? Why could it not simply be a major seismic catastrophe from perhaps 700 years ago that we're only discovering now? How many people would have been around 700 years ago to record such a disaster? Where is the scientific proof that there is a lost civilization? Why could it not be the remnants of a native American (or Mesoamerican) civilization that is merely 700 years old? Why can we not wait until those who have studied such things all of their lives have had the time to research the findings, before coming to a lot of bizzare, uneducated and undisciplined theories and misguided conclusions? Perhaps one of the reasons that National Geographic won't take the time to reveal the Cuban underwater findings on television is because there is nothing to reveal. I'm sure if there was a significant civilization found underwater off the coast of Cuba that Paulina Zelitsky would have been able to find $100,000,000 in funding in less than a week. If there is a significant discovery, I'm sure we will hear about it soon enough because the world will demand it.

I've launched http://spaces.msn.com/TheMegaBlog/ to serve as a clearing house for information on MEGA, the so called "lost city of Cuba." Sr. Iturralde has been kind enough to provide detailed biographical information if you have any doubt about his credentials and recent blogs discuss related information about 4 more sites recently found in Cuban waters.

The MEGA Blog has moved to a better home at http://www.TheMegaBlog.com> and is broadening its horizons (no pun intended) to include all underwater sites throughout the Caribbean.

If you haven't already seen it, catch the 2-hour special called Quest for Atlantis on the SciFi Channel 7/13/06 at 11pm or 7/14/06 at 6pm. In spite of themselves, the SciFi Channel (aka NBC) does a pretty good job of covering the work of Greg Little and associates. Bimini Road REALLY IS ARTIFICIAL (although not a road), and they show the evidence!

When the first reports of the possible megalithic city found off of Cuba was made, I have waited and waited for more information.

It seems to me after all these subsequent passing years something more would have presented itself. I feel that this discovery maybe reseeding into the past and fading into the realms of legend like the original tales of Atlantis. :<

I know of only one written record that tells of cities sunk in the sea in the Americas. It's the Book of Mormon published in 1830. If you read the record you will know that there are more underwater cities down there. The passage below are the words of Christ spoken to an ancient American prophet.
From the Book of Mormon, 3rd Nephi 9:4-8

4 And behold, that great city Moroni have I caused to be sunk in the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof to be drowned.
5 And behold, that great city Moronihah have I covered with earth, and the inhabitants thereof, to hide their iniquities and their abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints shall not come any more unto me against them.
6 And behold, the city of Gilgal have I caused to be sunk, and the inhabitants thereof to be buried up in the depths of the earth;
7 Yea, and the city of Onihah and the inhabitants thereof, and the city of Mocum and the inhabitants thereof, and the city of Jerusalem and the inhabitants thereof; and waters have I caused to come up in the stead thereof, to hide their wickedness and abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints shall not come up any more unto me against them.
8 And behold, the city of Gadiandi, and the city of Gadiomnah, and the city of Jacob, and the city of Gimgimno, all these have I caused to be sunk, and made hills and valleys in the places thereof; and the inhabitants thereof have I bburied up in the depths of the earth, to hide their wickedness and abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints should not come up any more unto me against them.

It would seem people like Paulina Zetitsky,her husband,ADC,the Cuban gov.,Art Bell,George Noouri and the conspiracy authors have cleaned up on this one. It's HIGHLY UNLIKELY anything will be uncovered more on this site,off the Western tip of Cuba.

Unfortunately huge sums of money are needed to properly explore this deep area, and society is more interested in spending billions of dollars on war, drugs and oil, rather than spending just a trace fraction of that money to study our past, and disciplines like archaeology.

Rather than congratulating Paulina Zelitsky, many are criticisng her in the hope of refuting her discovery of this underwater Cuban city. Previuous writers on Atlantis have shown that the larger pre-historic civilization came frmn Lemuria (MU, see Col. Churchward)
and that Atlantis was one of its many colonies. The extended empire of Lemuria, located in the Pacific, was suffering sinking, and to preserve their heritage, Lemuria's officials began transferring their history to
central America. (Churchward, Nivens, etc.)

The colonies of Lemuria stretched from
its own land (a huge portion of the Pacific north from Easter Island and west to the Asian continent and islands, as well as east to South America and through the Orinoco which then was much wider, as a large waterway from the Pacific to the Atlantic where their colony Atlantis
existed along the mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Little could possibly remain today of such civilizations which were inundated
11,000 years ago, but huge carved columns nestling along the western coast of South America were found and reported to the University of Miami, and speculations were then made but omitted the fact that this Lemurian-Atlantean cicilization was almost totally global- with ships and other means of transportation reflecting the Nazca lines and the more recent finding of the Ica Stones of Peru- which are authentic.

Lemuria? Cripes...I have been out of high school now for 30 years and this fascination with "Lemuria" was a dead issue even back then. And, even when it was first imagined it was never considered to be a "mythical" land. At least the story of Atlantis has some historical foundation (i.e. Plato). But Lemuria has none whatsoever.

The concept of Lemuria originated in the 19th century, from attempts by scientists to account for discontinuities in biogeography. It was the result of scientists theorizing how certain geographies and fauna (namely the lemur; hence the name) could be explained in certain areas of Africa, Europe and Asia, and why some of it suddenly stopped in others...and that's it.

This concept of Lemuria has really been rendered obsolete since the modern understanding of plate tectonics (you know, that part of geography that we all learned in Grade-5). Although sunken continents do exist, nothing has ever been linked to anything called Lemuria, especially anything in the Indian Ocean.

This "Lemuria" story is nothing more than myth-building over the past 150 years, which is truly amazing when you consider how people now believe that Lemuria had an advanced civilization, with rocket ships, laser cannons, crystal weapons, a sophisticated political structure, a peaceful and Utopian society plus literature. I mean....come on people :-).

Titanic is 3 times depper and further in the middle of nowhere and yet we have been able to take cameras, robots, sub-marines, etc. We have been able to extract items and large pieces, so what is the deal? 600 Meters is nothing nowadays. We all want to know what's down there and soon. National Geographic, Discovery Channel, History Channel, even the Travel Channel, isn't any of these interested in the subjet? If this city is trully 50,000 years old it would change our history. We have the right to know.
Look, there is a lot of money that can be made from this dicovery, all we need is one of the ones I have mention to become interested.

It is all a big cover-up by the US GOV and other GOVs. Mark my words, WE WILL NEVER HEAR OF THIS SUBJET AGAIN!!!!!!!
The US GOV has known about this since the 80's. Paulina did not find this by pure chance. Someone gave her the coordinates. Someone who was sworn not to do it. Now, she has signed a promise to keep quiet about what she really saw down there. You might as well pretend it was all a dream. You will never hear a peep about this again...unless someone actually goes to DC and prepares a march with a large enough group of people to demand the truth about all this. Check video found on youtube.com called: Underwater city off of Cuba. Good Luck.

Dumped concrete doesnīt have pictogrphic and gerogliphic scripture over it nor is made of granite (not natural in that area of the world). You canīt make a whole city by dumping concrete from the coast. Use the brain, before using the tounge, or the finger...

Funny, that prior post coming after the conspiracy-preaching rant before it. Made me laugh. But dumped concrete doesn't land in precise shapes, formations, columns, keeping exact distance from the other randomly dumped concrete slabs, etc. Nor does it land in pyramidal shapes. I don't buy Atlantis, I don't buy dumped concrete, I sure as hell don't buy Lemuria, but I do believe its something. There are plenty of underwater sites off the coasts of India and Japan, inside lakes in Peru and China, that are reminants of man-made buildings and structures. Do I believe that there could have been an advanced civilization before, during, or immediately after the last Ice Age? Yes. Come on, over 200,000 years as Homo Sapiens Sapiens, and we only got 'civilization' figured out in the last 5,000? What were all those uncountable ancestors of ours doing for 195,000+ years? Sitting around a fire, grunting and laughing at farts?
