it is said that space is the final
frontier
except that's not really true consider
over 70 of the earth's surface is
covered by water
nearly all of it ocean and yet
only 5 of the world's oceans have been
explored by human beings
the remaining 95 still a dark
and uncharted frontier what secrets
might lie within this
unexplored expanse what could be down
00:31
there
just waiting to be found numerous
ancient civilizations have provided us
with at least
one answer across eras and cultures
separated by thousands of miles there
are stories of once great cities
suddenly sinking to the bottom of the
ocean
lost forever for many years
these stories were regarded as little
more than myth
until in modern times archaeologists
began to discover ancient ruins
01:01
submerged beneath the ocean
all over the world and the question
started to get asked
could these ruins be evidence of the
advanced prehistoric super cities
spoken about by the ancients or
maybe they are evidence of something
more something

about 15 years ago i heard about some
american soldiers from a submarine group
going into a bar in cuba and shooting
off their mouths about an underwater
ancient city they found
off the coast of cuba they said it had
hundreds of buildings and was incredibly
intact
02:35
they also said they saw numerous
pyramids in it
today i actually seem to have found part
of it
these were the words of popular author
and youtuber
scott c waring in mid-2020
he was claiming that by using google
earth to scour the ocean floor for
anomalies
he had found multiple underwater
pyramids off the coast of cuba
in the caribbean sea he noted that
while the anomalies appeared when
examining the area
03:06
in the web browser version of google
earth in the downloaded version
the entire area was blacked out
in his words that really makes me think
google hid it on purpose so that the
city will remain hidden
if it was hidden on purpose what purpose
if it was a cover-up then what was being
covered up
predictably waring was called a
conspiracy theorist
and his purported findings were largely
03:37
rejected in the mainstream
except what he'd found had already been
found before
and in fact documented in 2001
the cuban government launched a project
to search for sunken ships left over
from the spanish colonial era
in the waters off its shores it is
estimated that billions of dollars of
gold bullion carried by these ships
are still sitting on the ocean floor
part of what has been called
the richest galleon cemetery in the
04:08
world
the project was led by advanced digital
communications
a canadian company headed by marine
biologist
pauline zelitsky and her husband paul
weinzweg
using the most advanced sonar equipment
available
they scan the ocean floor for
irregularities
when suddenly their equipment picked up
something that stunned them
there an incredible 650 meters below the
surface
were what appeared to be a series of
04:39
symmetrical
and geometric stone structures standing
out
against the barren terrain of the ocean
floor
in short order they set down a remotely
operated vehicle
equipped with a camera to explore
further
what they found could not be denied
in the words of zelitsky it is stunning
what we see in our high resolution sonar
images
are limitless rolling white sand planes
and in the middle of this beautiful
05:10
white sand there are clear
man-made large-sized architectural
designs
it looks like when you fly over an urban
development in a plane
and you see highways tunnels and
buildings
weinzwig added some structures within
the complex may be as long as 400 meters
wide
and as high as 40 meters some are
sitting on top of each other
they show very distinct shapes and
symmetrical designs of a non-natural
kind
05:41
we've shown them to scientists in cuba
the u.s
and elsewhere and nobody has suggested
they are natural
but how could this be possible many
pointed out that to sink to that depth
the city would have to be over 50 000
years old
long before humans had the architectural
capacity
to construct what had been found
surely this is the type of mystery that
requires
further investigation except this is not
06:12
what happened
shortly after the discovery the cuban
government
unexpectedly cut the exploration project
short and stories of the find
disappeared from mainstream media
in fact the story had nearly faded from
memory
altogether until the proclamations of
wearing
in 2020 interestingly
this is not the first time the story of
an underwater city off the coast of cuba
had appeared
06:42
then faded from memory back in 1954
lester hemingway was flying from the
united states to cuba
to visit his brother the famed american
writer ernest hemingway
when he noticed something peculiar out
the plane window
as media reports recorded submerged
under the water below him was
an expanse of stone ruins several acres
in area
and apparently white as if they were
marble
it is well known that ernest hemingway
07:13
spent a great deal of time not only in
cuba
but just over 100 miles away on the tiny
island of bimini
it was this setting from which hemingway
concocted his seminal works
the old man and the sea and islands in
the stream
in 1968 seven years after hemingway's
death
a team led by sub-sea archaeologists
joseph mason valentine discovered a
half-mile stretch of limestone blocks
submerged in the ocean just off the
07:45
coast of bimini
like a paved road too perfect to have
been created naturally
the discovery came to be known as the
bimini road
but a road to what curiously
ernest hemingway was known to call
bimini the end of the world
was he just being grandiose euphemistic
as writers sometimes are or did he
and his brother know something the rest
of us
08:15
didn't for decades questions about the
bimini road
remained unanswered until in 2009
a team led by archaeologist jez
alexander
mapped a grid of the ocean floor
surrounding bimini
using a combination of google earth
satellite imagery
and ocean floor maps as alexander
amazingly described
they discovered foundation ruins rubble
sections of building walls
and ruins of large public edifices some
08:47
of what remains standing
clearly show evidence of intelligent
structure
post and lentil construction parallel
wall sections
and right angles things that could not
be explained as having been natural
in origin just like off the shores of
cuba
it appeared they discovered the
submerged ruins of an ancient
city could this really be true
could deep below the ocean waves lie
ancient cities from a prehistoric past
09:17
and if so what could these forgotten
cities tell us
about human history nearly 2500 years
ago
the legendary greek philosopher plato
penned one of his most
long-standing and most notorious works
it told a story of the lost continent of
atlantis
according to plato atlantis was an
advanced island civilization
which had existed many centuries before
the ancient greeks
09:47
its continent was an island larger than
libya
and asia minor put together located
just beyond the pillars of hercules
meaning beyond the strait of gibraltar
somewhere in the atlantic ocean the fate
of this mighty civilization
is described by plato in his dramatic
conclusion to the story
there occurred violent earthquakes and
floods and in a single day
and night of misfortune all your warlike
men in a body
sank into the earth and the island of
10:19
atlantis in like manner disappeared
in the depths of the sea despite its
eloquence the story may have been
remembered as little more than another
of plato's rhetorical tools
rather than a historical possibility if
not for the work of u.s congressman
ignatius l donnelly in 1882
donnelly published the antediluvian
world
in which he hypothesized that atlantis
was not only real
but that it was a civilization that
10:49
populated much of the ancient world
according to donnelly atlantis inspired
greek african indian and scandinavian
myths
as well as those among the native tribes
of the americas
for his work donnelly is credited with
starting the modern search for atlantis
in the 1930s this search led american
psychic
edgar casey to claim he knew where
atlantis was
and when it would be discovered
stunningly in hindsight
11:21
he declared that atlantis was near the
small and then
unknown island of bimini and that it
would be
discovered in 1968 or 1969
of course 1968 was the year
the bimini road was found could it be
that this road
is in fact the road to atlantis
and where the ancient ruins found around
bimini in 2009
the borders of this ancient lost
continent
11:51
was this what hemingway meant by the end
of the world
perhaps but perhaps not
it seems that any time something unusual
is found at the bottom of the ocean
claims of atlantis appear and the more
that humans explore
earth's uncharted waters the more common
these types of incredible discoveries
become
in 2013 an unassuming portuguese
fisherman named
diocletiano silva was searching for fish
12:22
between the islands of sao miguel
and tercera some 900 miles west of the
portuguese capital of lisbon
in the middle of the atlantic ocean as
his sonar system scanned the water
it picked up something which shocked the
humble fisherman
there below his boat appeared to be a
perfect
pyramid some 60 meters tall sitting on
the ocean floor
as silva told portuguese news outlets
it's amazing because it forms a perfect
pyramid
12:52
and moreover orientation and deployment
of the pyramid
the vertices are oriented north and
south
just north and south such as the giza
pyramids in egypt
incredibly in the face of such a
potentially
significant discovery the portuguese
navy rejected silva's claims and
shut down all further investigation
however they did not shut down the
imagination of those who had heard the
story
particularly when the admiral in charge
13:23
of the area
gave a rare interview in which he
proclaimed that
even the navy did not have enough
information about the structure
to stay definitively what it was
certainly many headlines blared this
must be part of the lost city of
atlantis
then in 2016 a new and even more bizarre
underwater
discovery captured attention some 45
miles off the coast of mexico
13:54
in the bay of california it seemed that
google earth revealed
a monumental expanse of linear lines and
massive
outlines reminiscent of the mysterious
nazca lines in peru some asserted that
the lines designated an enormous
underwater pyramid many miles across
one of those was scott c waring who
ruminated
an 8.5 mile pyramid biggest the world
has ever known
and it's right off mexico others
14:25
asserted that the structure
cannot be a natural formation while
waring himself proclaimed there was a
100 chance of it being an intelligently
made structure
again the headlines announced we must
surely have found atlantis in late 2016
nasa's operation icebridge used remote
sensing photography
to create a three-dimensional view of
what was under the mile thick
14:54
sheet of ice that covers the arctic and
antarctic continents
remarkably the 3d constructions of
antarctica
appeared to show the remains of
settlement under the ice
unknown land masses and mysterious
structures
some as big as the eiffel tower
could this be the lost city of atlantis
not sunk to the bottom of the ocean but
encased in
ice obviously mysterious ruins hidden in
15:26
the ice of antarctica
or submerged in the water around cuba
bimini
mexico and portugal cannot all be
atlantis
but that's just the point if not
atlantis then what are they
well to start atlantis is not the only
ancient tale of a submerged city
lost to the dark depths of the ocean
augustus le plangio had devoted his life
to investigating the ancient mayan
culture
15:57
in the yucatan peninsula of what is now
mexico
in the early 1880s the archaeologist
reached the pinnacle of his work he had
come across a series
of ancient inscriptions which he
purported to translate
according to la plagio they described an
ancient lost
continent called mew which had existed
somewhere in the pacific ocean
in prehistoric times before being
submerged in the ocean
had he discovered the record of another
atlantis
16:28
many questioned the translations of les
plancheons and thus the veracity of his
claims
writing them off as the work of fiction
and there the story might have died if
not for a man named
james churchward in the 1930s
churchword came forward with a story
from his time as a british soldier
in india there he asserted
he had befriended a high-ranking indian
priest
who introduced him to a set of ancient
clay tablets
16:59
they were written in a lost language
that only a few people in the world
could understand
consequently church word set about
convincing the priest
to teach him the language so that he
might read the sacred tablets for
himself
after some time he was able to read them
and to his amazement they told an
astounding tale
according to churchward they spoke of an
ancient lost
continent in the pacific ocean which had
existed some fifty thousand years ago
17:30
it was named mew stretching some 3 000
miles from north to south
and 5 000 miles from east to west
the vast continent was purportedly home
to 64 million
people before suddenly sinking to the
bottom of the ocean
and disappearing like le plesion
churchward's claims were met with
skepticism
surely there could not be some sort of
lost civilization
at the bottom of the pacific ocean or
could there
18:02
one day 1986 a japanese diver
named kihachiro arataki was enjoying his
favorite pastime
exploring the sea floor off the coast of
japan
on this particular day arataki was
driving around
yonaguni island some 60 miles east of
taiwan
when he came across something he
couldn't believe
there beneath him were what appeared to
be the ruins of a
sunken city there were castles
roads monuments a pyramid
18:34
even a stadium immediately
a group of scientists led by masaaki
kimura
rushed to the area to investigate in the
years that followed
kimura identified numerous structures at
the unaguni site
and amazingly additional structures some
300 miles
further into the ocean around the island
of okinawa
at both sites he and his team noted
walls constructed at right
angles hexagonal columns even an
19:06
underwater road
all displaying an unbelievable symmetry
some expressed skepticism that perhaps
what kimura was finding were not ruins
but actually just
natural formations until his team began
to uncover
carvings of animals and people even a
face
which seemed eerily similar to the moai
heads of easter island
i think it's very difficult to explain
away their origin as being purely
natural
19:37
because of the vast amount of evidence
of man's influence on the structures
kimura explained could this really be
the outskirts of a lost
continent called mew more importantly
if ancient stories of mew and atlantis
were true
how would this change our understanding
of human history
in 1963 an investigation launched by the
indian government's department of
archaeology
discovered what appeared to be the
remnants of a sunken city
20:07
in the bay of kambe off india's
sauerstraw
coast exploration in the murky waters
was difficult
but by the late 1970s the marine
archaeological unit of india
had started underwater excavations
bringing up bits and pieces of pottery
jewelry and other artifacts dated at
over 3 500 years old
as time passed and technology advanced
so too
did the exploration become more robust
20:37
until in 2002 india's national
institute of ocean technology discovered
a series of structures
further out into the bay some 40 meters
below the surface
archaeologists descended discovering
sections of walls and buildings
sculptures even human bones and teeth
the ruins of a vast city many miles long
most incredibly the artifacts were dated
at nearly 10
000 years old predating the ancient
21:09
egyptians by thousands of years
to many familiar with ancient indian
tradition the meaning of this discovery
was obvious
it meant that the ancient stories of
lord krishna were true
according to the mahabharata a
fundamental epic in indian tradition
as well as many other ancient texts
krishna fled the indian continent
to escape a never-ending cycle of war
between his people and their neighbors
with the help of the god viswa karma
krishna founded the island city of
21:40
dwarka
there an advanced civilization lived
amongst seven hundred thousand palaces
made of gold
silver and precious stones incredible
structures which
as written in the harivancha almost
touched the sky
and could be seen everywhere like clouds
according to the ancient texts after
krishna's death
the city and its advanced civilization
sank into the ocean there are many who
believe that the modern discovery of an
ancient
22:09
underwater city confirms the stories of
krishna are not
myth but historical records if this is
true
then what would it mean for our
understanding of humanity's pasts
as the bbc suggested the remains of what
has been described as a huge
lost city may force historians and
archaeologists to radically reconsider
their view
of ancient human history but how
it's not just that a 10 000 year old
22:40
indian civilization would throw our
understanding of where
civilization started in disarray it goes
much deeper than that
consider if the ancient texts are
telling the truth about krsna's mystical
city
of dwarka what else might they be
telling the truth about
look back through the story of krishna
to his time of conflict
prior to founding dwarka there a battle
against a leader named shalva is
particularly notable
23:10
according to the texts shalva attacked
krishna
in some sort of flying machine
unleashing what appears to be an energy
weapon
projectiles described as bolts of
lightning
in response krishna responds with a
weapon
bright as the sun in the sky killing
shalva
and wiping out his army in one fell
swoop
here the ancient indian texts read like
the pages of science fiction
shalva armed with a ufo that shoots
23:41
lasers
and krishna with some sort of ancient
nuclear weapon
but if the story of dwarka is true could
this be
as well and if so how would the ancients
have come to be in possession of this
type of advanced
technology and weaponry there are some
who suggest the answer is contained
within the records of ancient cultures
all
over the world consider from the
sumerians and egyptians
to the native tribes in the americas to
24:11
the ancient civilizations of
india asia and beyond all told stories
of gods coming from the sky
and bringing humans advanced technology
and
knowledge many believe these beings were
not gods at all
but ancient aliens and that the ancient
myths were actually a historical record
of early extraterrestrial visitors to
earth
those who fundamentally shaped human
evolution
note that according to sumerian texts
24:43
these visitors called the anunnaki
came to earth and interbred with
primitive humans
founding the modern human race it is
interesting then
that plato described the inhabitants of
the lost continent of atlantis as
half god and half human while james
churchward
asserted that sacred indian tablets
named the continent of mew
as the place where man first appeared
is it possible that stories of atlantis
25:15
and mew
and krishna are not myths but historical
records
and is it possible that these records
tell of an ancient collaboration between
human beings and alien visitors
might this be why underwater discoveries
are so often suppressed
by official sources perhaps this is what
awaits us
at the bottom of the deep dark
unexplored oceans
not only the ruins of a lost human
history
25:44
but an entirely different human history
altogether
