Υποβρύχιος δρόμος κοντα στο νησί Μπίμινι (Μπαχάμες). Απομεινάρια της Ατλαντίδας; Αποτελείται από ογκόλιθους σχήματος ορθογωνίου, παραταγμένους σε μήκος 800 μ. στο βυθό
The Bimini Road is an underwater rock formation near North Bimini island in the Bahamas. The Road consists of approximately one half-mile of limestone blocks lying in a semi-rectangular pattern, with the blocks appearing to be roughly rectangular in shape.
On 2 September 1968, while diving in three fathoms of water off the northwest coast of North Bimini island, J. Manson Valentine encountered "an extensive pavement of rectangular and polygonal flat stones of varying size and thickness.
The edges of the stone blocks had been rounded off by long years of water erosion, so that the stones resembled giant loaves of bread. Most were rectangular, but some stones approached a perfect square. Many were 10 to 15 feet in length, while others were much smaller. Where sand had washed away between the seams, another deeper layer of blocks was visible.
Valentine found the stones to be composed of native oolitic limestone, typical of Bahama reef or beachrock. The general direction of the feature is northeast-southwest, lying roughly parallel to the island cost, and extended for approximately one-third of a mile.
Geologist Eugene Shinn, while still an employee of the U.S. Geological Survey in Miami did his own analysis of the rocks and concluded that they are "beach rock", a form of limestone that forms along the tidal areas of the shoreline. He asserts:
