Overview
These field summaries include both potentially ancient and historically recent underwater structures and artifacts, with varying levels of verification and interpretation.
One prominent example is a marble concentration in roughly 30 feet of water north of Bimini, often described as temple-pediment and beam fragments likely associated with an early 1800s shipwreck.
Bimini-Area Sites
- The Bimini Road: Reported as a layered harbor-like formation with wedge stones, possible tool marks, and nearby anchors or ballast. Counter-claims classify it as natural beachrock. For skeptical critiques and counterpoints, see The Skeptical Record.
- Marble and Stone Columns Near the Inlet: Around 30 column-like or cylindrical structures were reported in shallow water near the North/South Bimini inlet, including two fluted marble columns documented after recovery.
- Paradise Point Pier: Described as a long line of large vertically arranged blocks extending from coast to deeper water, interpreted by some as a manmade jetty or harbor.
- Proctor's Road: A mile-long irregular stone line off North Bimini, including five spaced stone circles sometimes compared with Mediterranean mooring circles.
- Stone Anchors Near Proctor's Road: Reports include simple bored throw-away anchors and multi-holed, carved anchors compared with Phoenician types.
- Rectangular Forms in 110 Feet of Water: Side-scan sonar identified dozens of rectangular forms off North Bimini. Some teams assessed them as likely natural, while noted embedded blocks kept interest alive.
- Odd Bottom Formations in 150 to 350 Feet: Deep-water imaging reportedly shows paths, domes, and unusual shapes interpreted by some observers as engineered features.
- Building Ruins Off South Bimini: Reported foundation-like geometry in about 15 feet of water with wall lines extending into the sand.
- Basalt Slabs and Carved Enclosures: South of Bimini, reports describe carved basalt slabs, enclosure-like cuts, and stepped wall sections.
Andros and Nearby Region
- Andros Platform: A multi-line slab arrangement in 10 to 15 feet of water, interpreted as a harbor formation and sometimes dated to around 3000 BC.
- Wall Near Andros Platform: Remains of a wall on elevated land near Morgan's Bluff, sometimes linked to concealed pirate-era fortification.
- Joulter's Wall North of Andros: A shallow-water wall between islands, described as cut limestone with an attached square platform and unknown function/date.
- Mangrove Cay Temple Remains: Foundation evidence on limestone outcrop where a larger stone structure was reportedly dismantled over time.
- Berry Islands Block Arrangements: Multi-layer block concentration in approximately 30 feet of water, reported but less comprehensively investigated.
- Plane and Shipwreck Concentrations: Reports reference 24 plane remains and several shipwrecks in the broader region, including cases linked to Bermuda Triangle narratives.
- Great Bahama Bank Stone Arrangements: Several shallow-water sites with unusual block patterns plus numerous additional targets identified from aerial surveys.
- Anguilla Arc at Cay Sal: A harbor-like configuration made of cut beachrock blocks with at least one associated stone anchor report.
This page presents claimed site observations as a research summary; interpretation and dating remain subjects of ongoing debate.
