Pantelleria Vecchia Bank Megalith

The Pantelleria Vecchia Bank Megalith is an anomalous artifact of uncertain origin, located on the Pantelleria Vecchia Bank in the Strait of Sicily between Sicily and Tunisia, at a depth of 40 meters underwater.

The megalith is a large block of sedimentary calcirudite limestone measuring 12 meters long, and weighing 15 tons.

[1] The stone may have been carved when the area last stood above ocean level around 10,000 years ago during the early Mesolithic.

[3] The megalith was discovered by Emanuele Lodolo and Zvi Ben-Avraham in 2015 during a seafloor mapping survey in an area called the Pantelleria Vecchia Bank, located about 60 kilometers south of Sicily.

[2] After scans indicated a large roughly rectangular object, divers and cameras were deployed to capture photographic evidence.
