The Sunken Cities of Tolemac

According to the Oracle, before the cities of Tolemac sank beneath the waves many thousands of years ago, they were located in the central Caribbean close to the island that we know today as Cuba. If the Oracle is correct, then the sunken ruins of these ancient cities should still exist on the ocean bed off the coast of Cuba.

Not long ago a team of Canadian and Cuban explorers, using a miniature submarine to probe the sea floor, recently discovered the ruins of what appeared to be an ancient city submerged in the deep ocean waters off the western coast of Cuba. This sunken “city” was discovered off the Guanahacabibes Peninsula on the western tip of Cuba.

In July 2000, Soviet-born Canadian ocean engineer Paulina Zelitsky of the British Columbia based Advanced Digital Communications (ADC), together with her husband Dr. Paul Weinzweig used sophisticated side-scan sonar equipment to probe the sea floor off the coast of Cuba. What they found was not only unexpected. It seemed to defy the accepted history of human culture in the region.

What the ADC researchers discovered on the sea floor were mysterious stone structures at a depth of around 2,100 feet below sea level. These megalithic structures were laid out like an underwater city, complete with roads, buildings and pyramids. When interviewed later, Paul Weinzweig said that they appeared to have been built by an unknown human civilization thousands of years ago.

“They were like what you’d find at Stonehenge or Easter Island. Some structures within the complex may be as long as 400 meters wide and as high as 40 meters”, said Dr. Weinzweig. “Some are sitting on top of each other. They show very distinct shapes and symmetrical designs of a non-natural kind. We’ve shown them to scientists in Cuba, the U.S. and elsewhere, and nobody has suggested they are natural”, he said.

Dr. Weinzweig went on to add that these stone structures bore a remarkable resemblance to the pyramids of the Mayan and Aztec temples in Mexico. Furthermore, the photos taken from the videotape show “symbols and inscriptions” in a language that has not so far been deciphered.

Commenting on this discovery Paulina Zelitsky said:

“We don’t know what it is and we don’t have the videotaped evidence of this yet, but we do not believe that nature is capable of producing planned symmetrical architecture, unless it is a miracle. … It is stunning. What we see in our high-resolution sonar images are limitless, rolling, white sand plains and, in the middle of this beautiful white sand, there are clear manmade large-size architectural designs. It looks like when you fly over an urban development in a plane and you see highways, tunnels and buildings … “

According to Paulina Zelitsky, “It’s a really wonderful structure which looks like it could have been a large urban centre. However, it would be totally irresponsible to say what it was before we have evidence.” She speculated that these structures had been built by an unknown people when the current sea floor was above the present level of the sea.
