Dai Caraibi emerge una civiltà sommersa
Il leader del progetto: «Trovate una specie di piramide alta e sottile e una costruzione con pali paralleli in piedi»

NEW YORK - Un gruppo di archeologi ha scoperto le rovine di una grande città antica sui fondali del Mar dei Caraibi la cui ubicazione rimane ancora segreta ma che secondo alcune indiscrezioni sarebbe antecedente alle piramidi Giza, Egypt. It could even be Atlantis, the legendary island of death, mentioned for the first time since Plato. The news, published exclusively in English by the Paris newspaper Herald de Paris, was immediately echoed by American websites. Satellite images of the city published on the website of the daily show something completely different from the submerged city discovered in 2001 off Cuba by a joint Russian-Canadian. In an interview from Washington Herald project leader - who asked to remain anonymous - has looked good from revealing details of the location. Presumably to avoid crowds of divers on Sunday in search of underwater treasures during the festive season.
PYRAMID THIN - "We have found a structure similar to a pyramid, tall and slim - says the head of the expedition - and even a building with poles and feet in parallel beams through the ruins of what looks like a ruined building. But you can not find poles and beams - clear - without human intervention. " The discoverers do not claim that this is Atlantis. "But - point out - we believe that this city could be one of many a seafaring civilization advanced, based on trade and in regular contact with its counterparts Eurocentric." No one can explain how it got flooded. "We have several theories about it" pursues the team leader, he hopes to raise enough money for a new expedition, far more widespread, it can document its discovery. "Whatever we find does not belong to us - explain the archaeologists - but the people of this island and the world at large. All that re-float will end in the hands of a museum. "
THE SUBMERGED CULTURE - is not the first time traces of a possible underground civilization emerge in the Caribbean. In 2001 Reuters reported that a group of scientists from Advanced Digital Communications had identified a "sunken city" off the coast of Cuba With the sonar had identified what appeared to roads, buildings and even the ruins of a pyramid. But after the excitement original, the story fell into oblivion. In his book The Gates of Atlantis (2000), Andrew Collins advances the thesis that Cuba was the center of a vast pre-Columbian civilizations, like Atlantis. Ivor Zapp and George Erikson, in their book The Road to Atlantis (2002), Costa Rica to bring the head of a maritime empire very advanced. The adventurer FA Mitchell-Hedges suggested that the remains of the lost civilization were in Honduras. Theory that Atlantis is in the new world began to circulate soon after the discovery of America. In 1669 it was even published a map showing America divided between the descendants of Neptune, king of Atlantis.
