Atlantis ?

[pvet7521]

Maybe someone out there has an idea of what this is. Found on Coffins Patch 27 ft of water, 3.5 mile from shore. Wood poles , chissled to a point, driven 9 ft into sand. A 3 ft reef grew over the top. Structure was circle shaped. We dug / followed it for 50 ft than stopped. The wood was tested and was found to be Lignumvitae.

They found a circle shaped area in the limestone in Miami within the last 10 years or so, and there was wood still in the holes. They felt it was some kind of ancient ceremonial place. I am sure you could find that without too much trouble. 10,000 years ago the sea level was lower and this would have been out of the water. Up here on the west Coast of Florida, there are many ancient villages that are out in the water, underwater. If its not that, who knows.

You have it Cornelius, Alexandre?

Atlantis sits at the junction of the three plates. The North American, Asian, and the North African, an area of extreme Seismic / Tectonic activity which easily explains why it disappeared in 3 days, according to the ancient legend.

It consisted of a gigantic Caldera of three rings, now about 12,000 under the Atlantic. It sits almost where it supposedly was located according to the ancient stories.

Global explorer anyone ? Or lacking that, Aquanut with his scuba gear/?

Apparently the major activity consisted in a western depressing / tipping / sinking of the zone with the 'possible' effective axis being in Europe. This left a stretch of shallows off of the coast of Spain which 'may' have been an out lying Atlantean settlement. This shallow segment eventually became the home of a roaming group of people from the Israel area.

These people later migrated to the Eastern US and slowly worked their way west to present Arizona. From there they then went south to eventually form Mexico city and the Aztec civilization.

They still call this former home 'Aztlan' strikingly similar to it's original name 'Atlantis'. They still refer to this former colony on the shallows off of the coast of Spain, as "the Place of the Reeds, Herons, white sands", etc. and obliquely refer to this migration to the Americas.

So Ladies & gentlemen, get the Global Explorer into action and help them redeem their name and help heal the division between Salvors, Adventurers, and Archaeologists. We 'can' work together to the benefit of all.

I totally doubt the wood is from the Atlantis period.

I found a hand laid Rock wall 6-7 feet wide starting in 60 feet of water and extending down to the drop off in 110 feet of water, off Clifton Pier in Nassau, Bahamas which could date back to the time of Atlantis. Numerous fresh water springs gushing, or bubbling from the ocean floor in several areas of the Bahamas. A bowl shaped 300 foot in diameter, 50 foot deep crater in 35 feet of water, NW of Nassau, and megalithic stones like those found on the Bimini road, which in my opinion only date back less than 3000 years.

Plans are in the works to begin the Atlantis project, in the area of Bimini, this Spring. Permits are in place. Dell

There used to be a forest off the coast in the keys 10,000 years ago.The fishers have hit wood diggin holes before.

In my humble opinion, that in places the East coast shore line extended out 500 yards further in the 1500 & 1600's than it does today. The West coast, even farther.

A Salvor told me he uncovered a Mastodon, near Ft.Pierce. An ancient river bed runs just off shore.

Ancient arrowheads, spear points, and axes are found through out Florida. There are rumors of an underground city at Inverness. The top of a pyramid was reported in the Everglades. The stone circle found at Miami. According to GPR another believed buried at Boca. The list goes on. Dell

10,000 years ago the florida land mass on the east coast extended all the way out to where the gulf stream is and on the west coast it extended 60-100 miles out.

pvet7521, I would suggest your poles were part of a pen built by Indians to hold animals, if it was land at that time, or fish if the water was shallow at that time, but probably less than than two thousand years ago.The Coral would preserve the wood. I have found wrapping paper with the design on it, and a deuce of spades playing card perfectly preserved in the coral for 160 years. Dell

I have found blocks underwater (of blocks and tackle used in sailboat rigging) made of Lignum Vitae that were 200+ years old. That was a favored wood for blocks as it is very hard and dense. It grows all over the Keys and Bahamas. Something weird is it grows on Indian mounds, and that is a way people have found indian mounds, look for Lignum vitae trees.

Dell, that was my first thought, an ancient tidal fish trap.

Lignum vitae, a favorite tree for Pirate Treasure markings. Dell

 

[pvet7521]

Dell your on the money, I believe that's exactly what it is, a pen of some kind that was once on land or a turtle corail . About 4 ft down I found small pieces of wood 3- 4 ft long and 2in in diameter,they were probably tied perpendicular to the poles at one time. This structure had a diameter over 50 ft.

manatees .. were pened up to be eaten when need up until about 1945 .. thats how group of islands called cow pens got its name.. near taverneir bayside . and lignume vitea was a favourite for posts ..lasts for ever
