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.

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.

Probably George Bush’s fault.

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.

The structure is basically a cone-shaped pile of boulders with an estimated weight of 60,000 tons, which is heavier than most of today’s warships.

of basalt boulders up to 1 meter long with no apparent construction pattern,”

“The boulders have natural faces with no signs of cutting or chiseling. Similarly, we did not find any sign of arrangement or walls that delineate this structure.

So maybe calling it a "structure" is a loose use of the term. It's a pile.

A 60,000 tonne stone structure has been discovered at the bottom of the Sea of Galilee in Israel


he giant cone-shaped cairn, which is made of basalt cobbles and boulders up to one meter long, has left archaeologists baffled as to its purpose and age (the map shows where it was found)


Sonar signatures revealed the scale of the find

While details about the structure remain sketchy, the researchers are confident that it was created by a well-organised society and that it’s building was a community effort.
