The Bimini Road

In 1968, an underwater rock formation was found off the coast of North Bimini Island in the Bahamas. Many people believe that this is a road from the lost city of Atlantis. Atlantis is a legendary island first spoken of by Plato. No one is sure whether or not Atlantis ever really existed. In 1938, an American psychic by the name of Edgar Cayce made this prediction: "A portion of the temples may yet be discovered under the slime of ages and sea water near Bimini… Expect it in ‘68 or ‘69 - not so far away.” Most recently, archaeologist Dr. Greg Little found another layer of rock in the same formation directly underneath the first. His conclusion was that the "road" was actually the top of a wall or dock. Some think that the Bimini Road is a natural occurrence. Tessellated Pavement is the well known result of sedimentary rock cracking at perfect angles due to shifts within the Earth. Indeed, there are many examples of this on Tasmania that attract many tourists every year. Maybe in time the mystery of the Bimini Road will be solved.
