Weird Ruins of Submerged Basilica to Become a Unique Underwater Museum

Cpl Kevin Partlow
Absolutely I agree 110% LOL that is why I have been volunteer archaeologist for the State of Arizona for the last 10 years I get to see all kinds of old new stuff I love it. It's amazing the things that history books will never discuss please not in our lifetimes. For example of you ever heard of the Great Wall of Arizona, picture the Incan Road as a wall runs all the way across the state from one side to the other doesn't matter whether it's crossing a mountain or Valley or Cliff face it just keeps on going

That's awesome. I often look around and wonder what buildings or structures that we see daily will be found a thousand years from now and bring awe and amazement to those uncovering them.

SFC (Join to see) ask and you shall receive. Here are four additional links to provide more information once video Once a photo gallery the other two are newspaper Style between them they provide quite a bit of information there is a little bit of discrepancy between them in which case go by the changes in the newer Edition because this discovery is less than 3 years old and is underwater archaeology so it's definitely still a work in progress and they are still learning about it as they go.

Erin Nelson - Thanks for the additional information. That they know this was a Basilica indicates they know quite a lot about the structure, the interesting part for me is why it’s underwater with only the foundation showing… and underwater. One of the articles, I believe the first you in the link says there may have been destruction from war: if that were the case I would expect to see debris all over the foundations making the foundations very hard to identify, in this case it looks like the structure itself was neatly removed from the area. This is not what one would expect from raiding marauders. Another question that I don’t see answered if why is the foundation underwater? Did Lake Nicaea rise for some reason? If so what happened? Misters of the world I guess. Thank You. :)
