Re: Cuban Underwater City by Anonymous on Saturday, 13 September 2008

I totally agree with anonymous. You cannot blatantly espouse what may have been found until the findings have indeed been analyzed. The Mayans did record a lot of information, and much of it has survived, contrary to what many believe. But a major catastrophe in Cuba could have happened as early as 700 years ago and few would have been around (or would have survived) to record the events at that time.

I had to chuckle too about some of the dates people were coming up with. How would anyone know how old this is by merely looking at a sonar image? Sure you can estimate age based on what some may feel happened to ocean depths over the years, but this doesn't really mean anything, especially if the area in question was a victim of a catastrophe at one point in time. I mean, ancient Alexandria is currently under about 70 ft of water, but people were walking around those streets just over 2,000 years ago.

I also had to chuckle a little bit when Paula Zelitsky was hypothesizing on her sonar imagery. Even a trained archaeologist with 50 years of experience would not be able to (or dare to) come up with cultural information about these findings simply by reviewing a sonar image :-). Too funny. I also find it amusing when people who have never studied anthropology, archaeology, or even history have all these theories about cultural events that may not have even occurred. As soon as something unexplained happens then suddenly aliens are to blame, or it must be Atlantis. Bizarre.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
