Finally an update from the team that discovered the marble ruins in the Bahamas, near the Bimini road. I posted this story back in September, you can read about that here www.abovetopsecret.com...



Update—As many of our readers already know, a small team of researchers affiliated with the ARE in Virginia Beach, Virginia have continued with efforts to genuinely identify underwater formations of stone located in the Bahamas. These include the Bimini Road, marble ruins found north of Bimini, the recently reported Paradise Point Pier, a large stone wall near North Andros, the Andros Platform, and other anomalies. During the past few months, and without any fanfare or publicity, several massive projects have taken place near Bimini. These include a complete side-scan sonar mapping of a vast area around Bimini and about 10 hours of high resolution video obtained of the sea bottom off Bimini at depths from 50 to 350-feet. An ROV was used to obtain the video. The video project covered several areas that seemed promising that were identified in earlier projects, some of which were conducted in the 1990s. These areas consist of what appeared to be terraces, possible walls, ancient stream beds, and a series of rectangular building foundations at the top of an ancient shoreline. The findings of these projects will be released after a careful on-site inspection of one of the "most intriguing" areas takes place. That project is tentatively scheduled for early 2009 as part of a documentary with a film crew working with Discovery.

Pyramids Search—Later this month—December 2008—we plan on completing another project we mentioned in earlier posts. That is, we plan on utilizing side-scan sonar and underwater video off the Eastern coast of Florida from essentially Sebastian moving south to Stuart, Florida. In the 1980's, three reports of underwater pyramids "emerged" in the media. The most credible appeared to be a pyramid near Vero Beach, Fl. We have the general location of this formation. However, logically, it would seem obvious that since the 1980's someone would certainly have refound this alleged structure if it existed. Nevertheless, we plan on doing a full and systematic search of the area with both the side-scan sonar and a continual video feed.

In addition, there are two other less credible reports of pyramids to the north and south of the Vero Beach that were allegedly found in the 1980s. These reports may actually be garbled retellings of the pyramid supposedly off Vero Beach. One other and more promising type of archaeological formation that will be looked for in this search are "shell rings." These are large, donut-shaped heaps of shell and sand formed by Archaic cultures living on the coast around 5000-years ago. Recent conversations with a prominent underwater archaeologist lead us to believe that the oldest shell rings are probably underwater and undiscovered. No one has ever made a systematic search for these in water.

Great story thanks for posting.

I have sailed to Bimini and other nearby islands over the years and I was immediately taken by the mystery beauty of the area. It is great to see this kind of methodical research in the area. I will look forward to the Discovery channel program.

I don't know much about Atlantis, but could it be possible that in those days the atmosphere was much different. Perhaps the water that we have in our oceans and lakes and streams used to be up in the sky. So the oceans would be smaller and the mountains would be practically inhabitable due to the fog/clouds. People would live in lower places because they would be closer to running water and the air would be clearer there. Practically every culture has a story of a great flood over the earth, could a sudden atmospheric change cause the humidity to fall from the sky and cause a rush of water over the earth which would not immediately soak it up, but would be flooded for a while.

What an interesting theory! I, too, am no expert in this subject, so perhaps this has already been discussed many times. But, it's the first time I have heard it.

Just a thought
What if the polar caps north and south were covered with snow and ice.
Even during the summer months most of the upper and lower half of the globe was covered. (another ice age)
This would account for the lower sea levers, as most of the water on the earth at that time would be in the form of snow and ice. The people of the time would move to a warmer area closer to the equator to survive. This would include the areas around Florida, Bimini the Bahamas and areas like these around the world
Once there the people thrived and built stone building, roads and family dwellings.
As the earth’s climate begin to warm the snow line receded towards the caps and the run off begin to raise the sea levels. Year after year the snow and ice receded continuing to raise the sea levels around the world (The great Floods). People were then forced to move to higher ground abandoning their cities and homes, leaving behind a wonderful mystery buried beneath the sea for us to discover. Just a thought

Keep searching the truth will be known

They will definately find some weird stuff the closer to Stuart they get! I was raised in Jensen a hop away from Stuart and had family that often took us out to go fishing and boating. They ran into alot of weird stuff when diving and spear fishing.... they wont be disapointed.
