The Bay of Batabanó
Following on from the previous post “Megalithic Ruins on the Sea Bed”:
When it was pointed out to Dr. Weinzweig that other underwater ruins had been discovered in neighboring areas such as the Bay of Batabanó, he replied: “We have not explored these other areas yet but we intend to in the future.” And when asked if there was any geological evidence to suggest that the islands that exist in the Caribbean today might actually be the mountain tops and high ground of a landmass that sank beneath the sea as a result of cataclysms in ancient times, he said: “Yes, geologists tell us that Yucatan, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico were connected at one time. There is still much to learn about the geological history of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.”
The fact that ancient underwater ruins of a hitherto unknown origin have now been found off the coast of Cuba, provide confirmation of the words of the Oracle of Tolemac, and give credence to the story of the sudden destruction of the Tolemac cities as a result of cataclysmic earth changes taking place at the time.
This is also beginning to be accepted by mainstream science, as witnessed by a National Geographic News report dated May 28, 2002. Writing about the underwater megalithic ruins that had been discovered off the coast of Cuba, it had this to say about the ancient flood myths:
“Ancient stories of massive floods pass from generation to generation and in many places in the world are integral to a people’s spoken history. The tales differ by locale, but commonly feature either torrential rains or a hugely destructive wall of water bursting into a valley, destroying everything in its path. In many cases, the flooding is an act of retribution by displeased gods. Scientists, historians, and archaeologists view many of these enduring tales as myth, legend, or allegoric tales meant to illustrate moral principles. Recent findings indicate that at least a few of them could be based on real floods that caused destruction on an enormous scale.”
Commenting on this undersea discovery and its link with the local legends, Andrew Collins (author of the book “Gateway to Atlantis”) wrote in a Special Report:
“Myths and legends told by the indigenous peoples of the Bahaman and Caribbean archipelagos, when the Spanish first reached the New World, spoke of just such a cataclysm. They said that the waters suddenly rushed in and drowned the great landmass, breaking it up into the individual islands seen today.”
Collins went on to point out that this discovery would also have profound implications for the prehistory of the region.
“If Paulina Zelitsky and her oceanographic colleagues are right in their belief that ‘pyramids, roads and buildings’ do lie off Cuba’s western coastline, then it is clear that the prehistory of the Caribbean, and its influence on the rise of Mesoamerican civilisation, will have to be revised dramatically. Moreover, it could well be that at long last the mystery of Atlantis, mankind’s greatest historical enigma, is about to unfold in a most spectacular fashion.”
