Here's my though on the matter. If these things had been en-route to America and had gone down in a storm or something, there would have been a recovery operation.
That is one of the reasons I doubt this discovery, this was from July (I think) 2007, and nothing is reported after it, and it could mean that the discovery was not considered sufficiently important to get back to the site and do some more research.

And in any case. there is only one way to find out. we dig. if there is something there it will be found. If there isn't anything there. No harm done.

I've been a long time skeptic of the bimini road so I'll proudly be the first to say......
ZOMG
That is just amazing on so many levels. I can't believe it. I eagerly await the dates placed on those blocks. CAPITAL find!

Does the pictures in the OP actually has to do with the text? Because I'd think its darker at 100 feet than that, seeing the sunshine strongly on the seabed. Its hard to see the scale of the thing, but it reminds me of a 16-17th century fortification. All its missing is cannons
(I think its quite a bit smaller though)

A thing I find a bit strange is this fragment from the text:
Is it just my interpretation or does it mean that the marble slabs were transported on some ship? If that was the meaning then what we need to know is the age of that old ship, as far as I know it could have been some 19th century ship moving some marble pieces to an American museum, for example, so why didn't they got a piece of the wood to clear this situation?
Under the bottom layer of marble, Wingate found the wooden ribs of an old ship. According to Wingate’s group, not far from this site there are massive areas covered with granite slabs, supposedly from two other shipwrecks.
Here's my though on the matter. If these things had been en-route to America and had gone down in a storm or something, there would have been a recovery operation. The water isn't all that deep at this site and recovery wouldn't have been too difficult. There are recovery operations that happen all the time these days. This fact alone suggests that these items were on the bottom of the ocean to begin with. There were pictures of shipwrecks included (the piles of granite stones used as ballast most likely), but those are different from those structural elements pictured. I wish were able to put a huge ring out and seal it off, pump out all the water and send the archeologists in with everything they have. What I want to find most are tablets. Something that's been engraved with writing.
Here's a question for everyone out there though. We use the reported death of Jesus as the starting point for our years. Well, if these people existed thousands of years before that, what system would they likely have used? Things like this fascinate me.

some of this is suposed to be foundations. If that is true it isn't from a lost ship.
