Looks like not much to me. They lose me right away when they say the rock pile is “heavier than a battleship”. So? Nor is it amazing that something is higher or wider than Stonehenge. Especially a big pile of untooled boulders.

Another sign of the apocalypse? Global warming? This could be hugh and series.

The structure looks .... huge and series.

Interesting read, (read it yesterday)

I bet this thread gets a picture of Giorgio Tsoukalos pretty quickly.

Can you stand on it, and does it therefore appear you’re walking on water?

in a related story, scientist find Christmas trees in American lakes, teaming with fish. Some have glittering ornaments and shiny things. No-one is sure why they are there.

Watch your spelling. FP standards call for “hugh and series”. ;)

Same place as this?

Yes. "Kinneret" is the Hebrew name for the Sea of Galilee.

[jjotto]

I’m asking if this seems the same area of it.

[Lurking Libertarian]

It seems to be.

[Sir Napsalot]

Sorry.

Won’t make the mistake again.

[laweeks]

Probably George Bush’s fault.

That L. Ron woulda been great in a remake of “Goldfinger.”

The article says it is basalt but fails to inform the reader that basalt is volcanic rock. The city of Tiberius, a large resort city on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Tiberius, is full of homes and business structures constructed of basalt as the area was volcanically active many centuries ago. Just maybe that part of the sea was used a a dumping ground for basalt that needed to be cleared from fields for construction and/or farming. Or, maybe the basalt was dumped into this area of the sea in order to create a breeding ground for fish.
