9 Mysterious Discoveries Found Underwater!

We like to think we know a lot about the world we live on. After all, it seems like we’ve mapped every possible inch of it’s surface. We are constantly learning about various animals that, along with us, call it home and we are constantly exploiting the various resources to improve our lives. However, below the surface of the waters there are still a lot of unanswered questions. These underwater mysteries, whether man-made or acts of nature, continue to baffle us and show us that we aren’t always as smart as we think we are.

1. The Siberian Lake Monster

No discussions of underwater mysteries would be complete without including some sort of underwater sea monster. Move over Loch Ness Monster and Godzilla, the creatures of lake Labynkyr is here. Located in eastern Siberia, this body of water is said to be home of a creature nicknamed “THE DEVIL”. Underwater scans have reportedly captured images of a giant jaw and skeleton belonging to one of the monsters while the classic grainy long distance shot of something in the lake is reportedly proof of this 33 foot Russian water creature.

2. The Yonaguni Complex

In the 1980s, divers discovered some strange structures under the water near the southern most Ryuku islands of Japan. They found what appeared to be a temple with pillare, columns and a star shaped platform. The lines and carvings found around the area suggest the structure to be man-made. Experts say that it could have belonged to the civilisation who lived thousands of years ago only to vanish beneath the rising sea levels following the last ice age. Others are not so convinced and think the whole area is the result of natural formation over time.

3. Bimini Road

In the waters of Bahamas is a discovery which some people think suggest ancient civilisations were far more advanced than we think they were. Discovered in 1968, the Bimini Road is made up of a number of rectangular shaped stones all lined up with one another. Some who have researched the site say its man-made and perhaps a breakwater constructed to protect an ancient settlement. Others say it it simply an interesting natural phenomenon created over thousands of years by the forces of water.

4. The Lost Cuban City

In 2001, surveyors were working off the western tip of Cuba when their equipment produced readings that don’t make any sense. Sonar equipment showed that there were large geometric and symmetrical shapes on the sea’s bottom. A second trip to the site revealed large blocks of stone, some of which were stacked upon each other. Experts are reluctant to say, the structures are man made because it would mean they were built around 50,000 years ago. Long before that type of architectural design was known to exist. That said, no definitive answers have come forward in this mystery.

5. The Ruins Of The Gulf OF Khambhat

In 2001, ruins of what appeared to be an ancient city were discovered in the gulf of Khambaht off the coast of India. Geometric structures and patterns initially suggested the city includes dwellings, a granary, a citadel and its own drainage system. Stones, wood, pottery shards and bones from the location are said to provide further evidence of a civilisation that predates all other known civilisations if the Indian sub-continent. Despite this, cities are skeptical because much of the evidence was collected in an improper way and all images of the “CITY” have been obtained using sonar.

6. The Baltic Sea Anomaly

In 2011, a mysterious object was discovered on the floor of the baltic sea between Sweden and Finland. Sixty meter in diameter, the object didn’t look natural and divers says it actually rests on a pillar of some type. A secret military experiment, an old battleship turret, a UFO?

Everyone seems to have an idea about what this thing is with a few even claiming it’s the MILLENNIUM FALCON from the star wars. Experts think it is made up of stone but the shape just doesn’t seem natural at all.

7. The Galilee Stone Structure

In 2013, a report was published which revealed that in 2003, researchers had discovered a massive stone structure under the sea of Galilee with a diameter of 230 feet and 32 feet high, the conical creation was composed of boulders which altogether weighed 60,000 tons. Experts believe the structure was built over 4000 years ago. However, until archeologists can excavate more of the area, the exact and purpose of this amazing underwater find will remain shrouded in mystery.

8. The MacDonald Lake Rocks

When divers were working on a submarine project in MacDonald lake, Ontario in 2005 they cam across something that seemed out of place. Under the ware they found a large rectangular stone propped up by smaller baseball-shaped stones underneath. In all, several stones were arranged in what appeared to be a deliberately built structure. Experts all agreed that the structure was man-made which suggests that prehistoric populations roamed and lived in areas of Canada once thought to be devoid of any humans.

9. The Underwater Circles

You’ve likely heard of crop circles, but what about underwater circles? Off the coast of North Carolina, Florida and Belize, Aerial and Satellite images show circles which look like tiny bullseyes upon closer examination. They look suspiciously like the same circled found in the Middle East and Africa — a shape attributed to burial of memorial sites. Could the underwater rings be the same type of structures built by ancient civilisations when worldwide water levels were lower? Are they just a natural phenomenon that coincidentally look similar? These questions remain to be answered.
