(LiveScience) Owen Jarus - A "monumental" stone structure discovered beneath the Sea of Galilee in Israel has archaeologists puzzled. The structure is cone shaped and made of unhewn basalt boulders. Rising nearly 32 feet (10 meters) high, it has a diameter of about 230 feet (70 meters), twice as large as Stonehenge. The structure was first detected in the summer of 2003 during a sonar survey. Researchers say it is definitely human-made and probably was built on land, only later to be covered by the Sea of Galilee as the water level rose. Researcher Yitzhak Paz of the Israel Antiquities Authority believes it could date back more than 4,000 years.
