TEL AVIV, Israel, June 10 (UPI) -- Researchers in Israel say a mysterious monument found beneath the Sea of Galilee once stood on dry land around 6,000 years ago.
Scientists at Tel Aviv University found the cone-shaped monument, approximately 230 feet in diameter, 39 feet high and weighing an estimated 60,000 tons, while conducting a geophysical survey in the southern Sea of Galilee, a university release said Monday.
