Pyramids found in deep-ocean plane off of cuba

The Washington Post titles the article In Cuban Depths, Atlantis or Anomaly? They clearly know what sells and add in some talk about Atlantis to make the headline credible.

But failing the Atlantis angle, this story could turn out very interesting.

If you've followed the debate about Robert Schoch's dating of the pyramids in Giza, he claims it could be quite a bit older than mainstream Egyptologists do. (I won't even go into the books of his friends, because some of that stuff, well, let's just say it is very good at selling books.) Along those lines, the dating mentioned here will probably be tough for many in the mainstream to swallow.

I like the tone and manner the Cuban geologist, Manuel Iturralde, took. He said "It's strange, it's weird; we've never seen something like this before, and we don't have an explanation for it." I wish more scientists would be prudent and take that approach rather than hanging on to the "best theory" there is to explain it.

Another excerpt from the article:

"He also said that if the symmetrical stones are determined to be the ruins of buildings, it could have taken 50,000 years or more for tectonic shifting to carry them so deep into the ocean. "
