Pyramids of Cuba: the submerged city discovered in 2001 is now forgotten
In 2001, a team of researchers from a Canadian company working off the west coast of Cuba discovered the ruins of an ancient city that had been submerged for thousands of years.
The incredible discovery, which occurred thanks to sophisticated sonar equipment capable of detecting stone structures up to 650 meters deep, aroused particular interest in the entire scientific community, which began investigations.
The first explorers identified the complex in 2001, when the area was scanned using sophisticated equipment that produced various images of symmetrically arranged stones.
Paulina Zelitsky, a Russian engineer assigned to submarine espionage during the Cold War, and her husband Paul Weinzweig, a researcher for the "Advanced Digital Communications" (ADC) which has offices in Canada and Cuba, aboard their research vessel "Ulises", were exploring the seabed off Cape Sant'Antonio in the north-west of Cuba, in search of wrecks to recover. They realized that the structure must represent an urban complex: a very advanced exploratory robot was subsequently sent. They chose to use the remote-controlled Remo Tely Operated Vehicle (ROV), capable of taking images and collecting rock samples at great depths.
Accompanying them on the expedition were also local experts, including Dr. Manuel Iturr alde, research geologist at the Natural History Museum of Havana.
Underwater filming confirmed the presence of enormous blocks of well-polished granite. According to the researchers, some of these had pyramidal shapes, others circular, some incredibly aligned.
After the analysis of the samples and images, Iturralde confirmed that those structures were certainly out of the water in the past and that, as there are no different geological explanations regarding their composition, shape and arrangement, they could have at least been modified by human intervention.
The structures were dated 6,000 years ago, a date that precedes the great Egyptian pyramids by 1,500 years.
“It's a truly wonderful structure that looks like a large urban center of the time”
explorer Paulina Zelitsky told the Reuters news agency at that time.
“However, it would be completely irresponsible to say anything for certain before we have evidence”
Unfortunately in the last 20 years nothing has been made to study the old ruins :( and to date this wonder remains unknown to the general public and almost forgotten by the media and journalistic sources.
Without wanting to enter the field of theology, biblical exegesis or philosophy, it is certainly not visionary, mythomaniac or unreasonable to admit that the submerged ruins of Cuba have potential that could force us to rewrite the history of human civilizations, if not even contribute to clarifying the mysteries concerning its origin.
