in 2000 a survey crew looking for treasure found ancient ruins off the coast of Cuba. The below link has the Rover pictures which are quite interesting. The ruins are under 2,200 feet of water and raises the question, who made them? how old are they? and how did a city end up under 2,200 feet of water???

I sure hope National Geographic found something interesting...

I remember also reading something about structures being found off the coast of Japan, and reading that it's possible that there may be evidence of previously unknown civilizations currently underwater. Wouldn't it be something if civilization and culture existed long before we assume it to have begun?

The question is, how many times has life begun and ended on this Earth? We assumed that it happened once.

yes it is. What if these structures date back further than 2.2 to 1.0 million years BCE during the time of Australopithecus robustus.

It raises serious questions on how old we think modern man is and the theories of evolution and creationism.
