The Cuban Underwater Formation (Guanahacabibes complex) and a Lost Advanced Civilization

This location has been brought up multiple times here over the past couple months and I've had some pretty good conversations with others about it. I figured I would put all the known info and pictures in one place for others. This will hopefully make it easier for others if they need to reference some information in the future or introduce those who never heard of this discovery for the first time.

So, what is it? It's a site or compound that appears to have pyramids surrounded by other buildings. Much like the way we find many ancient sites today. They could be little shops, houses, you name it, these are just examples, they could be anything really. The data shows evenly spaced areas between these structures with nothing inside of them, it looks like a main road with other smaller service roads, just like the layout of a modern city.

The visible buildings cover around 1 square mile of land although because of its location and the difficulty of detecting objects under sentiment that's already over 2100 feet below sea level, I would imagine it's much bigger. This leads to the most intriguing part of this mystery, How deep it is and what this means.

At 2,132 feet below sea level this site is old. How old you ask? Like ice age old maybe? Not even close. The last time the land this complex sits on was above water was at a minimum 50,000 years ago. Seeing how they probably didn't build it as the land was going under water one could guess it's possibly 75 or 100,000 years old. This is just a guess but being conservative tells you 55-60,000 years old is a safe minimum.

Last we checked no civilizations on Earth were building huge complexes 55,000 years ago. Actually civilization would be stumbled upon by our ancestors for another 50,000 years. So who were these people? I have no clue and if anyone did, it would be because of a lucky guess. Many ancient dawn of man text speaks of an extremely powerful past civilization that had kings who lived hundreds to thousands of years old. The problem is modern archaeology would have us believe the people that wrote these stories were themselves just hunter gatherers a few thousand years before writing them. So they wouldn't have any knowledge of this lost civilization, not even a fleeting whisper. Even without academia's opinion this fact seems to remain the same.

Very few surveys/expeditions have been made to the area. It's depth and location make it a difficult place to get up close. The couple to discover it were doing sonar work for the Cuban government. There are also geopolitical issues at play that make it impossible for teams close by with the equipment to dive that deep able to go. It's not just Americans either, the Cuban government will not allow anyone to dive a submersible in their territorial waters. I remember reading about 10 years back that the Cuban government will not allow any expeditions to the site by anyone, I'm still trying to find the article. Unfortunately, it will probably take a regime change before it ever becomes possible.

In 2001 marine engineer Pauline Zalitzki and husband Paul Weinzweig, who were engaged in joint exploration and surveying work with the Cuban government, reported the finding. The crew conducted a second trip with an underwater remotely controlled vehicle that captured sonar pictures that were later described as several pyramids and elliptical buildings constructed of massive, polished stone slabs that looked like hewn granite.

Another expedition was planned and last I remember the story just disappeared. But I still hold hope for the future and I believe we will have proof of a lost advanced civilization in our lifetimes. The more time that goes by the more evidence there is that a cataclysm wiped out at least 2 ancient civilizations now.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the read, I enjoyed typing it up for you. Things like this are great for letting your imagination run wild, like imagining what technology they had. Image a people who didn't discover fossil fuel or electricity yet were way more advanced than us. How would this look and work? How did they live their day to day? I would imagine the rat race didn't exist in such a civilization. What do you think?
