Sunken City Discovered Near Cuba

Pyramids Found in 2001 of the Coast of Cuba - about a Mile Underwater Pyramids under the waters near Cuba were discovered by two scientists Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki. They found the ruins of ancient buildings about a mile below t he sea Paulina found elsewhere in Cuba ancient descriptions and symbols that were identical to those on the waterfront structures below. the two scientists used submarines to locate and explore these pyramid structures They found a written language engraved on the stones. The U.S. government discovered the site during the Cuban missile crisis in the sixties, Nuclear submarines cruising in the Gulf (in deep sea) met pyramid structures. They immediately took control in order so that it would not come into Soviet hands. Or so the story goes ... A whistleblower from the army, that used to serve in Montego Bay told they are still working on the site and recovering objects and instruments This area in Cuba has not been above water for at least 10,000 years ... Underwater City Off of Cuba Part 1 (The Discovery) About seven years ago the news went around the world and all over the net. National Geographic published an article on their web site and had plans to cover the whole story and follow up with more investigations. In 2005 they walked out of the deal. Some say it had to do with Cuba/USA relationship and other believe it goes "DEEPER" than that. Paulina says she needs $2,000,000.00 to go back and drill through the pyramids and see what is inside. She wants to recover artifacts. She has now moved over to other projects near Mexico because she needs to make a living.

"Hawk Feathers"

A painting by Howard Terpning. "Hawk Feathers is not this Northern Plains Indian’s name, but rather, the adornment he wears in his hair. The hunting ability of the hawk was highly respected and its feathers were considered good medicine. Nearly every North American tribe used hawk feathers as a badge of honor and they were worn a good part of the time. This tribal member is also shown wearing his buffalo robe. Unlike Europeans, the plains people fashioned their robes with the fur on the inside and the smooth side of the hide facing out."
