An Ancient Monolith Has Been Discovered in the Mediterranean Sea, Archeologists have found a submerged "Stonehenge-style" stone monument in the Mediterranean bowl, perhaps made by one of the soonest civic establishments in the area.
The stone monument disclosure, distributed in the Journal of Archeologist Science, was made in water 131 feet profound on what specialists accept is an indented island in a station off the shore of Sicily. Archeologists said they trust the stone monument was made by man around 10,000 years prior, as per Discovery News.
"There are no sensible known common procedures that may deliver these components," said Zvi Ben-Avraham, of Tel Aviv University, and Emanuele Lodolo, of the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics in Trieste, Italy, writing in the Journal of Archeological Science.
Australia's News.com said the extensive stone monument had all the earmarks of being 12 meters in length and cut out of limestone. The immense stone was part in two and laying on its side on the base of the bowl.
"The revelation of the submerged site in the Sicilian Channel might altogether extend our insight into the soonest human advancements in the Mediterranean bowl and our perspectives on mechanical development and improvement accomplished by the Mesolithic occupants," said the analysts.
"The stone monument discovered, made of a solitary, huge square, obliged a cutting, extraction, transportation and establishment, which without a doubt uncovers essential specialized abilities and awesome designing. The conviction that our precursors did not have the information, expertise and innovation to adventure marine assets or make ocean intersections, must be dynamically surrendered," they said.
Situated around 24 miles north of the island of Pantelleria, the Pantelleria Vecchia Bank – where the stone monument was discovered – has been submerged around 9,500 years since a gigantic surge, as indicated by Discovery News.
"The Sicilian Channel is one of the shallow racks of the focal Mediterranean area where the outcomes of evolving ocean level were most emotional and extraordinary," said the specialists.
"The slow increment of the ocean level brought on the flooding of a large portion of the landmass, except for some morphological highs that, until in any event the Early Holocene, shaped an archipelago of a few islands isolated by extends of amazingly shallow ocean," thry s
