November 19, 2001: Lost Underwater City near Cuba - Linda Moulton Howe
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe with breaking news about a possible megalithic site discovered 2,200 feet below the ocean surface off the western tip of Cuba. Deep ocean engineer Paulina Zalitsky of Advanced Digital Communications reports finding what appears to be large architectural structures, including pyramids, roads, and carved stone blocks partially covered by sand.
In an on-air interview, Zalitsky reveals that preliminary ROV videotape has captured inscriptions on the stones, including symbols resembling a Central American cross found in underwater caves throughout Cuba. The lettering appears Greek-like but is not Greek, with possible connections to the mysterious Etruscan language. Linda traces the crossed-oval symbol to the ancient Luvian linear sea script from Minoan Crete.
Ancient American Magazine editor Frank Joseph offers a sweeping theory connecting the site to Atlantis, the Bronze Age copper trade from Michigan, and a catastrophic comet convergence around 1200 B.C. that a 1997 Cambridge symposium confirmed nearly drove humanity to extinction.
