There is always time to muse on some of the more unusual things that people find at the bottom of the ocean. It’s perhaps more mysterious than outer space, helping to give fuel to the notion that there are indeed more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in any philosophy.

If the ocean floor is as complex and unknowable as it appears to be, then the human being lives in a very unusual place indeed. It’s impossible to know the past entirely, and this is something that most scholars and students of history have known for awhile, but it sometimes seems as though the future is much less mysterious even than what’s already been in the world of the living.

A perfect example, where off the coast of one of the most attractive tourist sites in the world, there is a half mile stretch of wall on the bottom of the sea. Close enough to the Bahamas five star hotels to be a short boat ride, one can find the Bimini Road , also called the Bimini Wall. The structure is from 6 to 13 feet high, and most people think it is the result of hard shells settling. That could very well be, and there’s no real evidence to support the idea that it’s from another ancient civilization, like Atlantis, but it’s sometimes lovely to play with the notion in the mind.
