The Bimini Wall │ Full Documentary

In 1968 a 1600-foot long J-shaped formation of stone blocks was reportedly discoveredabout one mile off the west coast of North Bimini, Bahamas by a Miami-based biologist, Dr. J.Manson Valentine. The formation was initially thought to resemble a collapsed wall or a road andthe unfortunate name Bimini Road was attached to it. Media coverage speculated that the sitewas associated with Atlantis and sensationalized reports about the formation were widelydisseminated. Shortly thereafter, four geologists asserted that the formation was nothing but naturallimestone. Most archaeologists and geologists have accepted the four geologists claims withoutquestion. However, an inspection of the site shows that the skeptics most important claims aboutthe formation are inaccurate. More importantly, however, a careful evaluation of the prime skepticalgeologists original research results indicate that his published findings were changed, misreported,and misrepresented in later reports that presented the same data. By definition, this geologistsclaims about the Bimini site, based on his later reports, constitute a hoax that has now lasted 25years. A well-known archaeologist appears to have participated in the hoax as a coauthor.Paradoxically, these coauthors alleged in several articles that a hoax had been perpetrated at Bimini by others. It is demonstrated herein that USGS geologist Eugene Shinn and archaeologist MarshallMcKusick published a series of articles wherein they presented false and misleading resultssummarizing Shinns research findings at Bimini.\r
