"The sunken portion of Atlantis…a portion of the temples, may yet be discovered under the slime of ages of sea water near what is known as Bimini, off the coast of Florida. Expect it in 1968 and 1969, not so far away." In 1934, Edgar Cayce, the "sleeping-prophet," went into one of his hypnotic trances and made this prediction. Amazing enough, in 1968, indications of an unusual formation of the sea-bed came from observations by an aircraft pilot who noticed distinctive bands of coloration in the water near Paradise Point, North Bimini.
Geologists believe that when dealing with diagenesis, beach rock (also known as the Road to Atlantis) is developed from beach sand under the surface of the beach. When the compacted sand turned into rocks, it was then exposed during periods of erosion which made the rocks crumbles into large regularly sized rectangular blocks and fall onto the ocean floor.
Cultural Anthropologist's believe this formation is truly the Road to Atlantis because many large rocks are perfectly aligned and have uniform shape which continues in a band down the coast. Also found at this sight was a formation of rocks that resemble a human form including a head, arms, torso, and legs. Do you believe that this is actually the Road to Atlantis, or is it just an unusual coincidence?

I believe this is indeed the Road to Atlantis- who are we to argue with the Cultural Anthropologists! How cool is that? Were you able to see any of these remnants?
hmmm, very interesting question. I'd guess it may be hard to tell given that what you've observed (puzzle like appearance, long thin lines, etc) all would satisfy both the road and the beach rock hypothesis. Did you see this sort of rock feature anywhere other than on this snorkle site? If so, where? Are there any other pieces of information you'd need before you can make an informed decision?
What are the sources for these claims? I'd like to read their ideas about what counts as evidence.
