October 5, 2003 Havana, Cuba - Three years ago when Paulina Zelitsky and Paul Weinzweig, co-owners of Advanced Digital Communications, saw the first side scan sonar images of the deep water structures off the western tip of Cuba, some underwater objects were dark as metals sometimes show up on radar. I asked Paul if any more data supported the initial side scan sonar dark surfaces which implied there might be metal coatings on some of the megalithic structures.
Interview:
Paul Weinzweig, Partner with Paulina Zelitsky, Advanced Digital Communications International, Inc., Havana, Cuba: "It's possible from our sonar images that there could be metal because the darker the image, the more dense the material. But again, this is only hypothetical and would need to be verified by visual probes, by an ROV (Remote Operated Video) and cameras and good lighting. The area is quite extensive, spread out over several kilometers and we've barely touched it in terms of video probes.
Metal On Stone in the Atlantis Legend
The Greek philosopher, Plato, wrote in his Dialogue called the Critias about the destroyed continent of Atlantis and its walls covered by metals:
"The stone which was used in the work they quarried from underneath the center island, and from underneath the zones, on the outer as well as the inner side. One kind of stone was white, another black, and a third red, and as they quarried, they at the same time hollowed out rocks double within, having roofs formed out of the native rock. ...The entire circuit of the wall, which went round the outermost one, they covered with a coating of brass, and the circuit of the next wall they coated with tin, and the third,m which encompassed the citadel, flashed with the red light of orichalcum (copper or copper alloy).
"...In the center was a holy temple dedicated to Cleito and Poseidon, which remained inaccessible, and was surrounded by an enclosure of gold. ...All the outside of the temple, with the exception of the pinnacles, they covered with silver, and the pinnacles with gold. In the interior of the temple the roof was of ivory, adorned everywhere with gold and silver and orichalcum; all the other parts of the walls and pillars and floor they lined with orichalcum."
Andrew Collins, British researcher of the Caribbean and the Atlantis legend, hypothesizes in his 2000 book,
Gateway to Atlantis, that Cuba was in fact part of the great lost continent that sank into the Atlantic around 11,000 years ago.
