Massive submerged structure in Sea of Galilee stumps Israeli archaeologists.

[JJJ's Ulcer]

The massive circular structure appears to be an archaeologist's dream: a recently discovered antiquity that could reveal secrets of ancient life in the Middle East and is just waiting to be excavated.

Maybe that's where Pauly Shore has been all these years.

That's very cool, i wonder what the heck it could be.

 

[zeroapoc]

A hidden thousands of year old round structure and no one will provide pictures? Mayhap it looks like this?

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Perhaps this is the secret location of Sealab.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

So they finally found Atlantis.
