Edgar Cayce had predicted that in 1968-1969, a portion of Atlantis would appear around the Bahamas. A number of exciting new discoveries were made at that time, the most famous being the Bimini Road. After years of heated controversies and speculations regarding underwater anomalies located in the waters off of Bimini and Andros, much of it spanning more than three decades, Greg and Lora Little decided to get to the proverbial bottom of things. In 2003, at considerable personal expense and certainly some risk to their own safety and well-being, the Memphis couple made several excursions to the Bahamas in search of the much publicized but yet, elusive, truth. What they discovered oft-times disappointed and irritated them, but they happened upon new discoveries that ultimately came to intrigue and fascinate them even more. Many of the much touted mysteries covered in a good number of books on Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle ultimately proved to be made up of natural phenomena or to have mundane explanations. Like, for example, Manson Valentine’s supposed Mayan or Atlantean Temple discovery of 1968 which the Littles found no doubt to have been a sponge pen built by sponge collectors of Andros. Or, another example, Dimitri Rebikoff’s peculiar underwater “e” formation, which they located, visited on the water, and found to have been formed by sponge and turtle grass growing on a flat sea bottom. In addition, there was what appeared to be a huge, underwater stone circle seen and photographed from a plane in 1969 by pilots Robert Brush and Trigg Adams, which the Littles also reached and examined (located in very shallow water). They discovered it was was composed of sponges (although from above water, whether in a plane or a boat, the large sponges looked like rocks).

Greg and Lora found that there are doubtless hundreds of these mysterious-looking circles off of Andros, although most are not as large and spectacular as this one is. There’s also another one (both of them hundreds of feet across), even larger than it nearby, which Brush and his co-pilot Trigg Adams had seen on that 1969 flight. The Littles interviewed Trigg Adams before venturing to Andros and determined the precise location to look (Brush passed away a few years ago).

Greg and Lora’s first guide, a local guide and sponge hunter named Kevin Green, explained to them the answer to the underwater circular formations. Later Greg and Lora found essentially the same explanation in a textbook on marine biology in the Bahamas. This was rather disturbing since some of those initially involved in this work claimed to have been marine biologists and underwater archaeologists. The explanation, meanwhile, was that such formations often appear around a small coral reef or head. Numerous crustaceans like crawfish, shrimp and even lobsters move in and take up residence in the area, and come to “clean out their homes” as Kevin expressed it. This process causes a circular pattern to form around the reef or head. Turtle grass often forms in these piles of scattered debris. Schools of fish are attracted to the reef to feed and the activity causes more sand and debris to move away from the reef. Then larger fish come in and feed on the smaller ones, and the circle is widened even more. And, as Greg and Lora found, the process appears to be similar involving sponge-related underwater circular formations.

But while so many old mysteries were being solved by Greg and Lora, editors of the ARE’s Ancient Mysteries newsletter, new evidence and possible clues to true mysteries were synchronistically turning up for their consideration. For example, their happenstance meeting with a 94-year-old Bahamian named Samuel Rolle who took them to a possible ancient temple site atop a portion of his own property, and fascinated them with details about past lives and the temple and about Andros that closely coincided with things that Edgar Cayce had said about Atlantis and Andros in his readings. Then, as synchronicity would have it, as they were about to make their final departure, a knocking came at their door, and a diver named Dino Keller wished to speak with them. After two hours of just feeling them out about their reason for being in Andros, and satisfying himself that they were not treasure hunters seeking to exploit local discoveries in search of their own fame and fortune, Mr. Keller then began to share an incredible story with Greg and Lora. He told them how in 1992, after Hurricane Andrew, he had noticed three long rows of stone, with sand between each row, just out from Nicholls Town Bay. He said it was similar to the Bimini Road, but was bigger and in better condition. The next day, Greg went out and found it exactly as Mr. Keller had described. He and Lora knew this was a new beginning to their investigations!

Read what their continuing work in Andros has revealed, and what the possible implications of their discoveries may mean to the ARE, and to the world at large. If Greg and Lora are right, it certainly appears as though our history books are in serious need of much revision.

In addition, read how evidence like the petroglyph find photographed by diver Herb Sawinski (pictured on page 91 of this book) may help to disprove the archaeologists who contend no one occupied Andros prior to 1000 A.D. In addition, the book is filled with detailed illustrations and wonderful photographs.

This wonderful and fascinating video documentary of Greg and Lora’s 2003 excursions and explorations of the Andros region cover the same information as the book just reviewed. However, the video adds a whole dimension of sight and sound to the process that gives the viewer a more personal insight and understanding of what the Littles were experiencing and discovering during their intriguing field work. You get to really see the sites and sights, to see and hear them and the interesting people they met, like Samuel Rolle, the elderly gentleman who led Greg and Lora to a possible ancient temple on his property, or pilot Trigg Adams as he described seeing two huge underwater circles off of Andros in 1969. You’re with Greg and Lora as they venture into dangerous and uninhabited regions of western Andros with their skilled and competent guide Kevin Green, all from the relative safety of your livingroom sofa or easy chair. Informative, entertaining, and well- constructed, this production is highly recommended for anyone interested in the truth surrounding these perplexing mysteries.
