"From what I heard, National Geographic is negotiating with Cuba for exclusive rights to this find. They're wanting to keep it "off the record, on the QT, and strictly hush-hush" until they are ready with the whole story, video, etc." Yup. I've read the same. NG funding. Perhaps on the original link at the top. I expect that's why they are being careful what they say, contract obligations with National Geographic?

WOW!
Didn't you set up a list for these kind of articles?

There in a section comparing hieroglyphs from the Minoan island of Crete with hieroglyphs known as 'Linear C Language" used by an ancient Minoan culture called 'Luwian,' I found it. Obviously, they had not discovered object oriented programming yet.

Object oriented? They hadn't even reached the paleostructured! Reminds me of my first task at my current job, redo 5200 lines of C, not counting the #include foo.c bits, all in main(), with gotos. The Atlanteans would have been proud.

blam:How did African bananas get to South America via the Pacific Ocean? What about the gigantic, ancient Olmec heads in South America that undoubtedly depict African ethnic features?
Ernest_at_the_Beach: No, I didn't, but someone should.
Names for the title of the bump list, anyone?

As a reference point, the Cayce readings refer to the continent of Atlantis as much larger and it's culture spaned forty thousand years. It sank in three parts, the last inundation being about twelve thousand years ago.
Some may be ambivilant about Edgar Cayce, but he's been dead right about an amazing number of things. I'd lean toward his information rather than these witchey scientists and their flakey method of dating ancient artifacts.

Great Find. This is an interest of mine.
Any idea if this site fits the coordnites described in "The Atlantis Blueprint" by Colin Wilson
and Rand Flem-Ath.

Actually, I've heard that NG is now out of the loop because they wanted too much control over the project. Zelitski and Weinzweig are going at this with alternative funding at this time.

This is Luzia, she was 24 years old when she died 11,500 years ago in Brazil. This skeleton is the oldest (dated) skeleton ever found in the Americas. (Sure does not 'fit' anything I learned in school. I wonder why?)

GOOD-BYE TO THE BIMINI WALL AND ROAD? A perennial fixture of sensational archeology has been the frequent report of submerged "walls" or "roads" off North Bimini, in the Bahamas. That there are closely fitted, rectilinear stones under about 15 feet of water is not in question.
The 1- to 10-ton blocks surely look manmade, but are they really? E.A. Shinn describes several "beach-rock" formations in the area, some exposed and some submerged under a few feet of water.
This beach rock, as his photos demonstrate, has a natural tendency to fracture into rectangular blocks, creating strips of pavement-like blocks essentially identical to the famous Bimini road.
Proponents of Atlantis and other radical archeological theories do not deny the similarity of the formations or even that the natural and supposedly man-made blocks are of the same composition.
The Atlanteans, they say, obviously made use of readily available materials, and beach rock was their choice. Shinn goes on to prove to his satisfaction that the Bimini block formations are still in place where geological forces left them about 2,200 years ago.
Further, he notes, there are absolutely no traces of human workmanship and no human artifacts in the area.
One mystery is admitted, however, in this debunking article; and that is the unanswered question of how the Bimini rocks came to be submerged in 15 feet of water, when considerable evidence indicates that no such sea-level changes occurred in the last 2,200 years.
