Speculation that there are mysterious pyramids at the bottom of the Atlantic is circulating online.

Conspiracy theorists have been debating whether a video posted to YouTube shows two ancient structures off the coast of The Bahamas.

Believers argue that they are proof of inhabitance of the region by an ancient race of people, similar to the Aztec culture of South America.

Speculation that there are mysterious pyramids at the bottom of the Atlantic is circulating online. Conspiracy theorists have been debating whether a video posted to YouTube shows two strange shapes that believers say are ancient structures

SECURETEAM 10 CONTROVERSY SectureTeam10 is one of the most viewed YouTube channels, with over 785,000 people subscribing to its conspiracy videos. But the channel has come under fire, as Lions Ground, a rival channel, claims that it has been intentionally fooling its viewers. According to Lions Ground, SecureTeam10 has been raking in an estimated £600 ($745) a day by posting fake videos that 'outsmart UFO believers.' Advertisement

The video was posted by SecureTeam10's YouTube account, which has become a household name in UFO and paranormal circles.

Scott Waring, who created the UFO Sightings Daily website, is a regular contributor to the channel.

He was using Google Earth to scour the ocean floor for anomalies, when he came across the strange shapes.

Speaking in the SecureTeam10 video, Mr Waring said: 'I found these two pyramids on the ocean floor near New Providence island, it is not far from Florida.

'The lines on the pyramids are easy to make out and are proof that the nearby island was once inhabited by an ancient man or Aztec-like people.'

Narrator Tyler Glockner agrees with Mr Waring's assessment, adding: 'I have to say these do look like pyramids, obviously ancient pyramids that would have some weathering over the years.

'One thing about the ocean is that it actually preserves things much better, because you're not out there in the open air where things can rust and deteriorate.

'If these are pyramids, they could be much much older than, say, the ruins found on Earth that are barely still there and have nearly crumbled to dust.'

The pair point out that the two pyramids are not the same, with one appearing to be a perfect three sided structure, like the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The other has a step-like design, which they compare this the famous Mayan temples, like Chichen Itza.

The reaction from viewers of the video on YouTube has been mixed, with some buying into the elaborate explanation on offer.

Referencing a theory about an ancient alien race, Bartofilms said: 'Do these underwater pyramids intersect one of the lay lines?

'There are these lines that intersect the the great pyramids in Giza, as well as the Inca and Maya pyramids.

'Some think the Pyramids may have been navigation waypoints for the Annunaki'

Others took a more cynical view.

They are located at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, just off the coast of The Bahamas, at coordinates 24°56'26.50'N 77°19'39.35'W

BERMUDA TRIANGLE The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Dozens of ships and aeroplanes have disappeared in the region. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents. A range of strange theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle. None of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-travelled sections of the ocean. Many people navigate the area every day without incident.

Lo Value said: 'IF they were pyramids that WOULD be proof.

'Someone get down there and prove it then.'

Wolfscross added: 'It's a rock formation.'

This is not the first time that pyramid-like structures have been claimed to be seen in the region, which is part of the mythical Bermuda Triangle.

Reports circulating online in 2012 suggested that a scientist, called Dr Meyer Verlag, discovered a crystal pyramid, which was 'three times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza,' 6,500 feet (2,000 metres) below the sea.

Conspiracy theorists believe that the crystal pyramid is to blame for the disappearance of several planes and ships in the area.

The theory re-emerged in October 2016, when reports on the Before It's News website claimed that Dr Verlag presented her findings at a press conference held in the Bahamas, where she revealed the exact coordinates of the pyramids.

Despite these claims, there is no evidence that Dr Verlag exists, and no record of the coordinates she is claimed to have announced.

On the other side of the continent, deep below the Pacific Ocean lies what one Martian researcher has deemed 'a perfect pyramid'.

Using Google Earth, the massive structure appears to be 8.5 miles (13.7 km) across and some say it could be a UFO parked underwater or an enormous alien base.

Marcelo Igazusta, a researcher in Argentina, was the first to lay eyes on the mysterious underwater structure, which was discovered in May 2016.

Using the coordinates 12 ° 8'1.49 'N 119 ° 35'26.39' W, Mr Igazusta claims to have spotted a beam of light shining from the darkness of the Pacific Ocean just west of Mexico, leading him to this 'monumental discovery'.

Scott Waring, of UFO Sightings Daily, claimed at the time that the structure is a parked UFO or massive alien base.

Mr Waring said that this 'perfect pyramid' is adjacent to the ancient Mayan and Aztec pyramids in Mexico.

Although the ancient pyramids were constructed by humans, Mr Waring says 'Only aliens could accomplish makings such a massive structure'.
