Interesting article. This feature has been tentitively identified as a huge stone cairn built with unmodified boulders, probably circa 3rd millenium BCE.

Mysterious Stone Structure Discovered Beneath Sea of Galilee
"Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test." ~ Robert G. Ingersoll

All this pre Biblical work going on in Israel, Syria, and Jordan, even Arabia, is interesting.
I guess it was a “promising land” long before it was the “Promised Land.”
I think it is amazing they can still find undisturbed stuff when you consider the amount of continuous occupation in the area.

Re: Mysterious Stone Structure Discovered Beneath Sea of Gal
Because of prolonged drought the water levels in the Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea are dropping. Apparently this is a cyclical thing so it isn't all that astonishing. Similar to Doggerland. Someday if sea levels drop that may re-emerge too.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
