The Bimini Road

In 1968 divers found a half-mile line of flat, rectangular stones in shallow water off North Bimini. Followers of Edgar Cayce, who had said Atlantis would rise near Bimini in 1968 or 1969, saw it as a sunken road.

The account

The site drew expeditions for decades and is a pillar of Atlantis literature.

The sceptical view

Geologists dated and cored the stones and found them to be natural beachrock that cracked into blocks; the bedding layers run continuously across 'blocks'.
