Nestled some 650 metres (2,000 feet) beneath the waves surrounding Cuba lies one of archaeology’s great unsolved mysteries.

In 2000, researchers from the Canadian company Advanced Digital Communications (ADC) were surveying the waters off the tip of the Guanahacabibes Peninsula, when their sonar equipment picked up a strange series of structures down on the ocean floor.

The images generated by the scanning equipment showed smooth symmetrically organised stones reminiscent of an urban development, BBC Newsreported at the time.

In July 2001, the ADC team – led by marine engineer Pauline Zelitsky and her husband Paul Weinzweig – returned to the site, this time with an explorative robot device capable of conducting advanced underwater filming.
