| Sunken Sphinx Found In Bahamas, Underwater For 2500 Years Say ArchaeologistsFriday, March 28, 2014 5:57(Before It's News)A team of underwater archaeologists studying an ancient shipwreck of unknown origin near the eastern coast of the Bahamas, have made an astonishing discovery reports ADG UK. Divers have found a large stone statue resembling in shape and design, of the Egyptian Great Sphinx. “We are not absolutely certain at the moment, as to what this discovery actually means” explains James Neilson, an historian part of the research team.“The erosion caused by the natural elements and the various corrals and lifeforms who have settled on it, have been disturbing our scientific dating attempts, but the nature of the mineral used in its construction confirms beyond the shadow a doubt, that the statue is of Middle Eastern origin.”The archaeologists who made the discovery, confirm that this one and a half ton basalt monument, could actually be of Egyptian origin.The chemical analysis of the stone has demonstrated that it was almost certainly extracted from a quarry near Wadi Rahanu, an Egyptian region known for its quarrying industry since 3500 BC.The basis of the statue seem to have carried an inscription, but the erosion has made it impossible to decipher or identify without further testing and examination.The original analysis of the surroundings revealed that it could have been laying in the spot where it was discovered, for more than 2500 years. |
