Others who consider the Bimini undersea formation to be man-made, as opposed to natural beachrock, are Joseph Manson Valentine, zoologist;[1][2][3] Charles Berlitz, linguist;[41] Gregory Little, psychologist;[42] R. Cedric Leonard, anthropologist;[43] and Dimitri Rebikoff, French marine engineer.[44][45] All claim to have investigated the formations in person, and claim to have observed more than one horizontal layer of blocks, at least in places. However, multiple layers of block can result naturally from systematic fracturing of sedimentary rock where multiple layers of sedimentary rock lie on top of each, as can be observed in the case of the tessellated pavement of Tasmania exposed at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula.[46]

Sci Fi Channel presentation

Sci Fi's "Quest for Atlantis: Startling New Secrets"[47] followed several different groups researching possible locations for the legendary Atlantis, one of which focused on the Bimini Road. Greg Little led a team of researchers on a dive to recover objects at Bimini Bay. Little and his team reported the discovery of an entire second layer of square-cut rocks with similar dimensions beneath the stones of the Bimini Road.[35][36] However, they have yet to formally publish in any detail the evidence and observations that demonstrate the presence of this underlying layer and the square-cut nature of its blocks. As a result, its existence remains unproven. Little believes that his discovery suggests that the Bimini Road may actually be one part of an entire wall or water dock. He has also published an informal critique[14] of Shinn's[22] Skeptical Inquirer article. The Bimini Road was also discussed in season 1, episode 10 of the TV series In Search Of, as well as season 2, episode 3 of the History channel's TV series Ancient Aliens.

Bimini



Note the way the top surfaces are parallel to each other, virtually in the same plane .

Divers above a row of stones; note how the stones are parallel to each other, and note their size.

A closer view of the same section, showing the central stones to be almost square.

This is probably the same group as in the picture; the big piece seems to have parallel grooves.
