Dramatic New Underwater Imagery Reveals Hidden Past 
]
New and powerful satellite imagery of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico reveals the startling effects of what may have been a global event which devastated huge portions of land and cities thousands of years ago. Photos reveal never before seen mountain ranges, and plateaus which run for hundreds of miles and help verify our earlier discovery of city ruins far offshore. The Landstat satellite photos were taken earlier this year and have recently been added to Google Earth.
The inset photo to the left is that of a city discovered by Angela Micol, a satellite researcher, a few years ago, off the coast of Campeche. The inset photo to the right is the famous underwater city discovered in 2001 by Archeologist Paulina Zelitsky.
In 2008, we discovered and charted the path of a number of Mayan roads (Sacbes) which originated at cities like Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Coba and passed through dense jungle only to abruptly end at the edge of the water. Under closer inspection, these roads continued for many miles underwater, until they were too deep to image. In a few examples of lost unknown cities, only the tips of pyramids are visible to the naked eye, and yet they are dramatic examples of the devastation which must have befallen these areas. Of greater important is what these discoveries tell us about the ancient past in these regions of Mexico, and how they verify the Mayan myths associated with the great antiquity of their people. Science is not off a few hundred years for an inception date of the Maya - but perhaps ten thousand years or more. As we learn more about these lost cities - it is now becoming evident that early development and perhaps sophisticated building may have taken place at the end of the last ice age ( Pleistocene period.)
