Bimini Road - Atlantis Rocks
The Bimini Road consists of hundreds of large flat boulders that lay in 15 feet of water just off the west shore of North Bimini.
The rocks are l6 feet square and weight 25 tons.
Geologists confirm that the stones are made of granite which is not found anywhere near the Bahamas.
The Quest for Atlantis expedition convenes here to explore the road. Speculation is that it is a fallen Atlantean temple - remains of the ancient lost continent of Atlantis.
The rock shows that it has been subjected to certain amounts of compression which is understandable since it lies under 15 feet of water but according to geologists the compression was typical of that found on a walk-way - like an ancient road.
They say it was located in a well-trodden area before it was submerged.
One thing that is known for certain is that the radio-active dating of fossils found in the area show that this structure was above water 5,000 years ago and the rock formations themselves are shown to be between 5,000 and l0,000 years old.
Tool marks found under the coral growth on the rocks bear a resemblance to ancient Incan tongue which lends to the speculation that the rock was part of a larger structure or design.
We had an enjoyable afternoon with 6 friends snorkelling to discover and explore underwater this incredibly interesting area.
