THOUGHTS ON THE BIMINI ROAD

Subject: THOUGHTS ON THE BIMINI ROAD Sat Nov 14, 2009 9:39 pm

I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED WHY IT IS SO MANY HOLD TIGHT TO THE IDEA THAT THE STONE FORMATIONS OFF OF NORTH BIMINI ISLAND, KNOWN TO MOST AS THE BIMINI ROAD, ARE THOUGHT TO BE THE REMNANTS OF ATLANTIS. WHAT IS IT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE BIMINI ROAD THAT HAS CONJURED UP SUCH FANTASTICAL STORIES ABOUT ATLANTIS? NO SOONER DID I GET THIS TYPED DID THE ANSWER POP INTO MY HEAD…. EDGAR CAYCE.

SURELY YOU WOULD THINK THAT ALL THE HOOPLAH OVER THE BIMINI ROAD BEING THE ROAD TO ATLANTIS HAS MORE THAN THE WORD OF ONE PERSON TO SUBSTANTIATE THE CLAIMS.THERE IS ONE ADDED ARGUMENT THAT DOES NUDGE THE IDEA INTO THE REALM OF BELIEVABILITY, AS LONG AS YOU LEAVE SCIENCE OUT OF THE PICTURE. FOR ONCE IT IS APPLIED, THAT ARGUMENT GOES OUT THE WINDOW.

BUT LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE ARGUMENT FOR THE BIMINI ROAD BEING A PART OF ATLANTIS, OR EVEN BROADER, LETS LOOK AT ARGUMENT FOR THE ROAD BEING A MAN MADE STRUCTURE AND SEE HOW VALID IT IS ……MINUS THE EDGAR CAYCE ELEMENT. THE ARGUMENT IS THAT THE BIMINI ROAD IS A MAN MADE STRUCTURE AND LIST THE FOLLOWING POINTS FOR SUPPORT, FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF EXPLANATION.

1. THE BIMINI ROAD SEEMS TO EMERGE FROM NOWHERE AND THEN ENDS JUST AS MYSTERIOUSLY, HINTING THAT IT IS THE ONLY REMNANTS FROM THE HUGE CATACLYSM THAT DESTROYED ATLANTIS.

2. THERE ARE SPECIFIC FEATURES SUCH AS THE “J” SHAPE THAT COULD ONLY BE MADE BY HUMANS.

BOTH OF THESE CAN BE EXPLAINED AWAY BY LITHIFICATION OF BARRIER ISLANDS AND SAND SPIT FORMATIONS. BOTH FEATURES FORM UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, THUS WILL ONLY BE MADE WHERE THOSE CONDITIONS ARE MET. FURTHERMORE, BOTH FEATURES CAN BE SEEN READILY ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE, THEY ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT ARE LOCAL OCCURANCES.

3. THE ROAD IS MADE OF UNIFORM AND SEEMINGLY HAND CUT SECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED WITH PRECISION TO FORM A ROAD.

DUE TO THE MINERAL MAKE UP OF THE BEACHROCK, WHEN IT IS STRESSED DUE TO PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL WEATHERING, CHUNKS OF ROCK WILL BREAK AWAY IN SIMILAR POLYGONAL SHAPES BUT IN AN ASSORTMENT OF SIZES.

I WILL ALSO ADD A FEW OTHER POINTS THAT I FEEL ARE IMPORTANT IN ARGUING THAT THE ROAD IS NOT MANMADE/ REMNANTS OF ATLANTIS.

1. IF THE ROAD WAS MANMADE, AND THE J SHAPED FEATURE BEING A SUPPOSED MAN PORT (AS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED BY SOME), WHY IS THERE AN APPARANENT LACK OF OTHER HUMAN ARTIFACTS DATING FROM THE TIME THE ROAD WAS CREATED/USED?

2. CARBON DATING SUGGESTS THAT THE ROCKS THAT COMPRISE THE BIMINI ROAD WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PRESENT DURING THE TIME OF ATLANTIS ([AS PER THE TIME PERIOD PUT FORTH BY PLATO)

3. WITHOUT CAYCE’S INPUT THE IDEA OF THE BAHAMAS AS BEING A GATEWAY TO ATLANTIS SEEMS ALMOST RIDICULUS, AS IT FITS NONE OF THE DESCRIPTIONS PUT FORTH BY PLATO (THOUGH I FIND THE STORY OF ATLANTIS BEING PRESENTED AS A TRUE ACCOUNT IS HIGHY SUSPECT IN ITSELF)

I WILL ADMIT, THAT THE IDEA OF THE BIMINI ROAD BEING A MADE MAN STRUCTURE IS PRETTY COMPELLING IF YOU ARE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF OCEANOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS COUPLED WITH A MODERN DAY PROPHET’S DECLARATION THAT ATLANTIS WILL RISE AGAIN IN 1967 OR 1968, FOLLOWED BY THE DISCOVERY OF THE BIMINI ROAD IN 1968.
HOWEVER, WITHOUT EDGAR CAYCE’S PREDICTION (IF THERE EVER SUCH A VISION), ALL EVIDENCE (OR LACK THERE OF) POINTS TO THE BIMINI ROAD AS BEING A NATURAL FORMATION OF BEACHROCK.
