Since the mean depth of the Sea of Galilee is less than 100 feet why has no one visited this “structure”?
“Close inspection by scuba diving revealed that the structure is made of basalt boulders up to 1 m (3.2 feet) long with no apparent construction pattern,” the researchers write in their journal article. “The boulders have natural faces with no signs of cutting or chiselling. Similarly, we did not find any sign of arrangement or walls that delineate this structure.”
It has always been known to the locals, and it is similar to other underwater rock piles in the Galilee. Story should be titled, “Bait for Grant Money”. There was another round of publicity for this about six weeks ago.
