2005 Press Release
(I-Newswire, 11/9/2005) - Archaeologist William Donato and a team
of researchers have confirmed a complex of ancient harbor works in
shallow water off Bimini, 50 miles from Miami. In May 2005, the team
investigated a little-known line of underwater stones located a mile
from a controversial site known as the “Bimini Road.” The new
mile-long line of stones was found and videotaped from the air.
Subsequent dives revealed several large stone circles on the bottom,
formed from large blocks of limestone arranged into circular
patterns. The circles were spaced at regular intervals. Stone
anchors, identical to ancient Phoenician, Greek, and Roman anchors,
were also found. “These finds took us by surprise,” stated Dr. Greg
Little, who organized the expedition. “The circles may be similar to
ancient Mediterranean harbor ‘mooring circles.’”
