There was no evidence of any marks made by human tools. There was nothing to indicate that it was man made; it is, in fact, a natural rock formation. I'm not saying that there are not ancient pre-historical sites to be found underwater, only that this particular site is not one of them.

Care to revise or extend your remarks? :^)

Since your image didn't show up, no.

All I can comment on is the TV special which aired these claims. They provided no evidence of the use of human tools on these stones, in the TV special. They merely showed people claiming that these stones "looked man made", which was an entirely subjective opinion. Closer inspection undermined that opinion.

There are lots of natural rock formations that can "look man made" (they used one of them from New Zealand for the Amon Sul sequences in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" movie, for instance).

What would be convincing evidence of human origin would be rocks with tool marks on them (unlikely if these humans did not have metal tools), or carefully interlocked stones forming a structure, which obviously could not be formed naturally.

The TV special I saw showed a single, very large rock formation, with some interesting shapes, which, however evocative, were easily the product of natural rock formation and erosion.
