1.) Underwater Portugese Pyramid
News reports in Portugal have stated that a huge underwater pyramid has been discovered between the islands of São Miguel and Terceira in the Azores. According to the reports, the pyramid is perfectly square, and oriented by its cardinal points.
The Azores are an interesting region which consists of a chain of nine volcanic islands in three main groups that are roughly 930 miles west of the capital, Lisbon. They are all situated around the fault lines between the North American, Eurasian and African tectonic plates.
The pyramid was found in an area of the mid-Atlantic and it is believed that the structure has been underwater for multiple thousands of years,
which is considered to be the time of the last ice age where glaciers were melting. It is said that the amateur sailor-Diocleciano Silva first discovered the structure, and estimates obtained using GPS digital technology put the height at 60 meters, with a base of 8000 square meters.
Silva discovered the pyramid while fishing on his yacht in the area. He discovered the structure through bathymetric navigation and its tip is submerged around 40ft. The archipelago of the Azores is composed of nine volcanic islands. According to the bathymetric data collected by Silva, the structure is about 60 meters-tall with a base measuring 8,000 sq m. Silva believes the structure is man-made.
In recent years, archaeologists from the Portuguese Association of Archaeological Research (APIA) have identified archaeological evidence on all the Azorean islands that supports their belief that human occupation of the Azores predates the arrival of the Portuguese by many thousands of years. The Azores archipelago was discovered uninhabited by the Portuguese around 1427.

But for security reasons, the exact coordinates of the pyramid have not been released, and it is said that the navy has increased its patrols in the area to prevent possible intruders from exploring the area. Currently the Portuguese Hydrographic Institute, under the instruction of the Navy, is analyzing data to determine whether or not the structure is man-made.
Experts say in-depth investigations are beginning to point to the possibility of an underwater volcanic hill based on more recent studies. It has also been predicted by analysts that there may be two other pyramids in the area, as images suggest there could be a design link to that of the pyramids built in Egypt. Local newspaper-Diário Insular has quoted Silva as saying that “the pyramid is perfectly shaped and apparently oriented by the cardinal points”. Silva believes that the pyramid may be a remnant of the legendary lost world of Atlantis, which sank into the ocean after a failed attempt to invade Athens.
The legendary Atlantis was first mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues: Timaeus and Critias. Written in c. 360 BC., according to Plato’s dialogues, Atlantis was a naval power lying “across the Pillars of Hercules”. It had conquered many parts of Western Europe and Africa 9,000 years before the time of the legendary Athenian lawgiver, Solon. After a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean in a single day and night of misfortune.
Not long ago, archeologists from the Portuguese Association of Archaeological Research (PAAR) discovered evidence on Pico Island, not far from where the pyramid was discovered, that suggests that humans had existed in the Azores region before the arrival of the Portuguese thousands of years ago.
Based on this discovery by the PAAR, many believe that the pyramid could have been built by a different civilizations… long before the arrival of the Portuguese on the island.

2.) Underwater Pyramid City Discovered Near Cuba -
YouTube May 20, 2016 ...
A team of explorers working off the west coast of Cuba say they have discovered what they think are ruins of a submerged city built thousands of years ago. Researchers from a Canadian company used sophisticated sonar equipment to find and film stone structures more than 2,000 feet (650 meters) below the sea’s surface.
"These are exactly what a person would see if they were to scan an average city block with this technology" They say they still not understand the exact nature of their discovery, and plan to start thorough analysis of the site – off the tip of the Guanahacabibes Peninsula – in January.
The image the robot brought back confirmed the presence of huge, smooth blocks with the appearance of cut granite. Some of the blocks were built in pyramid shapes, others were circular, said the researchers.”

Paulina Zelitsky, head of a research team entitled “Advanced Digital Communications,” had made a deal with Fidel Castro to provide free access into Cuban territorial waters where they would scout for the remains of sunken ships from the Spanish colonial era believed to be laden with gold.
It was a generous deal, as Paulina and her team were to keep 50 percent of any treasures they would come across. The technology used by the research assembly was known as “side-scan sonar.” It relied on an underwater sonar device which took horizontal scans of the ocean floor. The images would then be assembled to form wider imagery of the ocean floor and 3D computer models.
After scanning a region where sunken wreckage was presumed to be found, the team of treasure hunters discovered something unusual. The sonar scan revealed “rectilinear geometry” similar to a city’s infrastructure.

The sunken ruins were resting half a mile below sea level (2,200 feet – 670 meters) and were comprised of various wall-like structures, foundations and other features difficult to explain. Given the depth of the site, researchers first estimated it to be over 12,000 years old, before the last (known) glaciation.
With all this puzzling data on the table, Paulina and her team decided to thoroughly analyze the material. What they found out next was truly startling – structures resembling huge pyramids, with linear architecture surrounding them, and a mysterious building resembling a sphinx with three paws.
After this breakthrough discovery deemed by many enthusiast as the missing link to the sunken city of Atlantis, the research team had signed a deal with National Geographic that was meant to shed light on this matter by broadcasting an extensive coverage of the site by 2003. However, National Geographic had never honored their part in this arrangement, and the story was put to rest in the years that followed.
The extreme depth where the site was located made it impossible for scuba-divers to cope with the pressure and strong currents, and the only viable option remaining was the use of a special submersible vehicle with a camera and spotlight attached to it. The research team had this privilege, so they returned a few months later for an in-depth analysis of the sunken metropolis.
Because Paulina signed a non-disclosure agreement, she wasn’t allowed to share with the public any images she and her team had obtained. However, a twitch allowed her to reveal pictures of the pictures, which was enough to stir the excitement of every alternative knowledge seeker trailing this formidable discovery. The reconstructed image below shows what seems to be the platform upon where a temple had been built in remote times. It also reveals two sphinx-like structures in the background.
The complex had colossal proportions, and was comprised of various structures with features that were (after reconstruction) similar to those of other attested civilizations found on the surface.
The Mystery Deepens Even Further:
The reason behind National Geographic’s retreat is bizarre to say the least. Since media coverage on this topic had dissipated in the years that followed, most people believed that nothing of significance had been discovered there. But, I am more inclined to think that the formidable discovery of a sunken city off the coast of Cuba threatened, if exposed, the very establishment that’s dictating the doctrine we currently abide to. Just imagine news outlets worldwide speaking of a sunken civilization far-predating the oldest historically attested civilization.
Tracking this more than curious topic, renowned author and researcher David Wilcock, has made available unique insight he obtained about this Cuban sunken city. According to him, and not coming as a surprise, the US military knew of this site for quite some time now, ever since the “Cuban Missile Crisis” in 1962.
During the Cold War, the US sent a small fleet of submarines to survey potential missiles that had allegedly been planted by the Soviets on Cuban territory. During their endeavour, they stumbled across a submerged site that had pyramids, megalithic stone structures and sphinxes. We can safely assume they were the same sunken ruins encountered by Paulina and her team in 2001.
With a rich, but denied history, the human species doesn’t seem to care much if someone unravels secrets from a long-forgotten time. Since we are incapable to put pressure on the establishment, we’ll most likely continue to ignore our ancient legacy that we were stripped of.
