"....possibly sitting on an island that was sunk to great depths by cataclysmic earth movement such as an earthquake.."

Interesting. Some years ago, Jacques Cousteau (sp?) found a cave in the Carribean Sea floor down about 200 ft. In it were stalagtites! One had broken off and was lying on the floor, so he took it on board the Calypso. Now, stalagtites do not form underwater, If mineral-laden water is keeping them wet, their radius will grow at about two thousandths of an inch per year. Using this, the age of Cousteau's stalagtite was about 30,000 years!

So whatever the elevation of that cave, it had been above sea level for at least 30,00 years. What they found off of Cuba's coast could very well be an ancient city that, too, was above sea level at one time.

Oh yeah, I rember that. One of the most interesting guys Bell has on from time to time is the guy that specializes in archaeological finds that seem to wholly contradict established science. Things like a complete gold chain found in a seam of coal several million years old. He's got reams and reams of examples and maybe he's making them up but then he's not the only one with this sort of findings. The point that this guy makes is that anything that is found that largely contradicts established theory is just ignored. No one will touch it because other coleagues further up the food chain will ostracize those who contradict the 'old guys' theories that are the basis of present day text books. Of course this is ever the case. The more things change ......
