 There are many unexplained ruins which can be found within Egypt. Who built the Great Pyramids? What was the true identity and purpose for the Great Sphinx? Countless mysteries still swirl around these enormous structures. And no matter how much academic study is pursued within this mystical place, an answer for how, and indeed why these monstrous feats were undertaken, remains unanswered. The reason for this gap in our understanding, we have come to hypothesize, is due to a paradigm of understanding, the result of which being that we as a species can only recollect a fraction of our history. A case of global amnesia has beset our kind, and unless those with the ability to see through the fog of established and as such heavily researched areas of our history, we may never solve the most important question of all, where do we come from? The reason for our growing staunch belief in a lost history is only further compounded by the subjects we research, and indeed the seemingly impossible and as yet unanswered methods, that an ancient, clearly once highly capable civilization utilized to achieve such remarkable feats of ancient engineering and our next item of choice is of no exception. As mentioned, there exists a heavily researched and indeed unraveled history which can be archaeologically found amongst these truly impressive ruins. However, although we are led to believe that academia has a handle on the ancient lives of those who dwelled within these structures, there are many areas which tell a different story, and one must question why. Why is there such gaps of explanation? When we are told that much of what these groups undertook has been researched and understood since the time of Edward Carter, why was the Valley of the Kings lost? Who and indeed how were the ancient pyramids constructed? Many of the things we are now under the presumption have been fully explored are merely rediscoveries, completely absent from the ream of writing and hieroglyphics later deciphered in red. The submerged city of Heraclion, for example. An entire ancient city, which not only clearly dates from the time of the pyramids, but was also submerged in an event we are yet to be informed of. The rediscovery of this site in recent times is yet another example that the attitudes of those who are granted access to such sites is misplaced, and what we thought we knew about the true creators of said sites is a red herring, a smokescreen, placed down by later surviving and due to these unknown events proven by heavy research far less capable, far more primitive as civilization, who merely re-inhabited such sites, allowing them to develop to a point where they were not only able to leave their own archaeological legacy amongst these ruins, but also to claim such intimidating works as their own. Such a reality, such a claimed illusion, would also have made them a perceived force to be reckoned with, an opportunistic strategy that any critical thinking leader would have leapt at to not only preserve one's power, but to ensure the ongoing existence of their own kind. This posited scenario would also explain why the ancient city of Heraclion, and indeed the Sphinx, the Great Pyramids, the Colossus of Memnod, the unfinished obelisk, and so forth, remained undescribed within what is claimed as the builder's writings and why such incredible feats were seemingly silently undertaken. Any explanation as to how these sites were built, such as that of Baalbeck over a thousand miles away, possessed Aswan granite columns many tons in weight, remains a mystery. For one can claim such works as their own, but an explanation as to how they achieved them would not be something they could provide. Who built the ancient city of Heraclion, indeed the entire Plateau of Giza? Why is the city submerged underwater, and what happened to those who constructed such sites? It is a pursuit for answers which we find highly compelling. There are countless submerged and very ancient cities dotted across the oceans of our Earth, many of these cities all but forgotten until their rediscoveries within the modern era. In attempting to locate these mysterious places, it is beneficial for one to be aware of past sea levels. This of course can make the task of locating these submerged cities an awful lot easier. The main consensus is that world sea levels have largely stayed the same since the arrival of Homo sapiens, only really dipping or rising by around 120 meters across the Earth. In discussing these finds, you will, on all but a few exceptions, find yourself within these specific regions. One of the more interesting exceptions to this rule has to be the underwater city which was discovered just off the coast of Cuba a few years ago, a submerged city which sits over 700 meters below the waves, this depth of course being far below that which has experienced a breach over the past 100 or so thousand years. A theory that the landmass once rested upon the surface, subsequently being sunk by tectonic activities was argued, yet since its exploration as a possibility, it has been found to have not been the case. The results of this investigation strongly indicating that this city and its accompanying landmass somehow remained under the waves for more than 100,000 years. Greenville Draper of Florida's International University concluded that it was highly unlikely that such a tectonic event could have occurred, quoted as saying, nothing of this magnitude has been reported ever before, especially from the Mediterranean. Draper's, among many others analysis, has of course come to conclusions, conclusions which thankfully appear honest, making them extremely controversial, yet as with other fields of study and life, they are reluctant to reveal the implications of such conclusions. For example, if the research is correct, and judging by the extremely capable people tasked with this undertaking, there is no reason to suspect it is not, then this submerged city has remained submerged for over 100,000 years. This gives us two possible alternatives, one, that the city predates the arrival of developed man on Earth, according to academically accepted timelines, or two, it reinforces our ever-growing accusations here at Mystery History of a past here on Earth which is unimaginably more ancient than we have been led to believe, a human society which has flourished and regressed on no less than three occasions. It could of course be both. There is a possibility that this ancient city was indeed built submerged under the waves by a once highly advanced civilization of Homo sapiens. Yet a more likely scenario, of course, would be that this ancient city was constructed at a time when the Caribbean Sea was a dry basin, and as the sea began to form, it was subsequently submerged. Yet, alas, modern academia readily rejects such a hypothesis. So if we do not accept this as a likely possibility, then we must conclude that a primitive ancient culture with primitive stone tools and certainly no diving equipment, were somehow responsible for the construction of this submerged city, complete with enormous pyramids on a foundation resting over 700 meters beneath the Caribbean Sea. The University of Seville, working in collaboration with the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage, has conducted an intensive lidar survey in a historically compelling area between the Spanish coastal towns of Caposoto and Sancti Petri. Their goal was to discover the remnants of a long-written of temple, one dedicated to ancient deities. However, what they discovered instead was an incredibly ancient once enormous mass dwelling, complex yet intelligently laid out as if almost akin to modern-day standards of care in regard to sanitation management, food production, and quality of dwelling for its massive population's well-being. A mega-metropolis that predictably the academics responsible for its discovery have not only attempted to downplay the find, but also tried to claim it as merely proof of their original temple assertion. Clearly, they are merely backing the tale of events put forth by whomever funded said expedition. From the researchers themselves, quote, the survey area consisted of submerged landscape seemingly dominated by a series of ancient marches. Something we feel was most probably intelligently managed farmlands prior to the Great Deluge, which eventually drowned this entire mega-metropolis, yet I digress. They continued, the study revealed a new ancient coastal landscape with the presence of moorings, an inland port, and several large monumental buildings, end quote. By combining data from previous anomalous discoveries, the team created a cross-section of findings, and by a process of elimination, they pinpointed an area in which to scan. Yet, interestingly, after said discoveries of the structures, they quickly and simply delimited the entire area, without any further field study or investigation whatsoever. Could this rapid delimitation of the area, in regards to the lidar scanning, possibly be in an attempt to obscure the true enormity of this pre-flood ruin? During their focused investigation, they found rectangular structures some 300 by 150 meters in size. However, these discoveries contradicted their own strictly followed academic accounts of this supposedly legendary temple's whereabouts. This discovery being the mission's objective all along, yet curiously, as mentioned, any further expansion of the lidar investigations, academic funding, has been stonewalled. Could their reluctance to continue further investigations on a mission which has already clearly cost a lot of funding due to them actually having discovered yet another complexly intelligently clearly advanced pre-flood mega metropolis? Well, we find said possibilities, and the rapid growth of independently owned lidar technology incredibly exciting. There are many ways to create a misleading, coercive conspiracy. But nearly all good stories, even when mostly fictional, to upstand some level of scrutiny must contain that which is known as the kernel of truth. And these kernels can be found throughout the mountains of ancient stories, belief systems, rituals, and medicines worldwide. Found throughout ancient texts, however, interestingly, there are countless accounts of a great deluge, however, modern curriculums are not about finding the truth within these writings, but a form of conformity. We not only feel that the evidence for a flood worldwide exists, but that the pre-flood civilizations who lived through this event, claimed as secluded, primitive, small settlements, didn't venture far until a much later academically claimed dating. Regardless of this, we are now slowly exposing the truth regarding said events. Modern technologies, such as ground-penetrating radar, are now being utilized more and more. Many of these studies are finding mega-metropolises, often now resting beneath and amongst dense forests, having been revealed via this technology to have been not individual settlements, but one enormous city, some with estimated populations of 10 million people or more, facts which are in staunch opposition to modern dating paradigms. Along with ours and many others personal, in-depth research into the technologies and knowledge of the creators and later re-inhabitants of such sites, have also been proven beyond doubt to have once had shared knowledge. Unquestionably made by people who were in global communication, endless examples of tools, masonry techniques, and artifacts are often found who have all been crafted in the same ways, with matching scars found at quarries and upon megaliths worldwide. Yet these quarries again bring us back to our original message, that of a shared experience of catastrophe, also one of which being the Great Flood. Maybe these groups worked on huge weather-resistant stones as an attempt to face off against such enormous natural forces, yet it would seem, although they left their mark on the globe, as our research would suggest were in vain, as they were seemingly wiped out in an instant, with many sites abandoned mid-flow during one of these events. Interestingly, not only would the evidence suggest a sudden disappearance of those responsible for many of the most extraordinary megalithic ruins, there have also been remnants found and documented within mainstream-funded study, which is not only indicative of a prior knowledge of this possible swelling of the seas, but an immense effort attempted to build fortresses to protect against such an event, dated as 7,000 years old. From an article titled, quote, this 7,000-year-old wall was the earliest known defense against rising seas. Lizzie Wade states, and I quote, about 7,000 years ago, seas were rising all over the world, Ice Age glaciers were melting, and the ocean crept up shorelines and toured people's homes on every inhabited continent. Now archaeologists have discovered the earliest known defense against those rising seas, a 7,000-year-old seawall built to protect a farming village from worsening storm surges and encroaching saltwater from the Mediterranean Sea. Ultimately, however, the wall failed, and now lies drowned off the coast of Israel, along with the rest of the settlement it was meant to protect, end quote. Additionally, Amy Goosek, an archaeologist at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, California, who studied this period around California's Channel Islands, stated, and I quote, all the different kinds of responses we see towards sea level rise 7,000, 8,000, 9,000 years ago, we're still seeing all of those same responses today. Discoveries such as these not only proof of our ancient ancestors' awareness in regards to the possible dangers of rising sea levels, but supports the argument that human contributions are not as catastrophic as are currently believed by some to be. The questions regarding their origins, however, who was once responsible for such remarkable efforts, remains a mystery, one which we are determined to solve. It is a journey of discovery which we find highly compelling.
