Massive Submerged Structure in Sea of Galilee
I just love this stuff. Kind of interesting as I am going through Genesis again and this a.m. I read again, about the Tower of Babel, and it just occurred to me as I was reading how cool it would be if they ever found it. Just makes me wonder.
Very interesting
The massive circular structure appears to be an archaeologists dream: a recently discovered antiquity that could reveal secrets of ancient life in the Middle East and is just waiting to be excavated.
It's thousands of years old -- a conical, manmade behemoth weighing hundreds of tons, practically begging to be explored.
The problem is -- it's at the bottom of the biblical Sea of Galilee. For now, at least, Israeli researchers are left stranded on dry land, wondering what finds lurk below.
'The bottom line is we don't know when it's from, we don't know what it's connected to, we don't know its function.'
- Dani Nadel, an archaeologist at the University of Haifa
The monumental structure, made of boulders and stones with a diameter of 230 feet, emerged from a routine sonar scan in 2003. Now archaeologists are trying to raise money to allow them access to the submerged stones.
