“In the Bahamas, pilots and divers wondered for years about the so-called "Atlantis Road” a long row of seemingly connected stone blocks in about 15 feet of water. Gene Shinn of the St. Petersburg office of the U.S. Geological Survey became fascinated by the story and investigated in 1978. His conclusion: The blocks are natural, caused by a combination of sea level rise and erosion."

This is partly true, but Shinn was funded by author Peter Thomkins. He did work at the US Geological Survey, he held a bachelor's degree in biology. His published findings, in the obscure magazine "Sea Frontiers" alleged that he did 17 cores on stones there. His published results showed that only 4 cores or less "dipped toward deep water," actually showing that the blocks had been moved and replaced.

In his 2004 Skeptical Inquirer article, Shinn basically fabricated new results alleging that all 17 cores "dipped toward deep water." There are so many other gross errors in that article it's shocking that even an ultra skeptical cult would publish them. In his correspondence with me Shinn said he was "imprecise" but "lack of peer review" was to blame for the factual errors, mistakes, and gross inaccuracies.
