There are three natural structures I'm aware of that look suspiciously man made:

1.  The Bimini Road, which is suspected by some (non-professionals) to be Atlantean built.  It is located amongst the Bahamas Islands.

2.  The Yonaguni monuments just off the cost of Japan.  Some Japanese archeologists believe it to be man made.

3.  The Giant's causeway in Northern Ireland.

Anyone know of any others?

Well, I don't think the Giant's Causeway looks man made; it is with sharp and geometrical shapes, yes, but not like it would be man made.

Good assessment rider.  It definitely isn't man made.  Nature made it not Finn McCool.Wink  It's a natural formation of basalt from what must have been one hell of a volcanic eruption as there is a corresponding site on the coast of Scotland.
There are several other places in the world where you'll find the same type of formation, the first that comes to mind is Pohn Pei, an Island in the Pacific that is the site of Nan Nadol.
The Bimini site is a tough one.  I've seen enough photographic and satellite imaging of the area to think that there was a seafaring civilization in the area previously unknown.  Atlantis? I truly have come to hate that designation. Why is it always Atlantis?  There are a number of submerged sites in that region and all of them have suffered through someones attempts to link them with Atlantis.  Consequently no one takes them seriously.  Which is wrong and also tragic. We are neglecting to investigate what might well be the vestiges of the earliest civilization in the Americas because some moron has mentioned "the A word".
I personally believe they would be more logically linked to the builders of the ruins in the Canary Islands.  Between 4 and 8 thousand YA there was a sea level rise that would account for the sites being submerged.  None of them are any deeper than 30-40 feet, some are less than 20, well within the acceptable range for gradual sea rise due to the meltdown of the Wisconsin Glaciers.

"Looks" is in the eye of the beholder.  Disapprove

Maybe the Atlanteans made them?  Question

I gotta check these out.  Never heard of them before. Clap

Sure, sure.  Maybe Finn McCool built it!  Ermm

Hmm, speaking of Wisconsin...  That reminds me of a fourth site I forgot to list.  The pyrimids of Rock Lake, Wisconsin.

A ROCK LAKE HISTORIC INTERPRETATIONAL OVERVIEW

In North American Archeological circles, one of the great enigmas is who mined the millions of pounds of pure raw copper from Michigan's upper peninsula and Isle Royale in the time period between 3000 BC and 1200 BC. Indigenous use of copper was limited to small-scale utilization and does not account for the prodigious amounts mined.

In European and Middle Eastern Archeological circles, one of the enigmas is where did all the copper come from to sustain the copper and Bronze Age cultures in the time period between 3000 BC and 1200 BC. Local sources were not sufficient and of the quality necessary to supply these large scale cultures.

Oral Native American history and lore deny any affiliation to the prehistoric mining operations; rather they cite 'ancient maritime foreigners' who mined the ' Red Rock
'. All throughout North America there are archeological anomalies that point to the possibility of contact from Trans Pacific and Trans Atlantic visitors with pre-Columbian North American cultures. Additional, evidence suggest wide trade networks between the people of Mesoamerica and those magnificent indigenous cultures labeled as the Mound Builders.

Wow, oral legends about "ancient maritime foreigners"! Shocked 

Myths often have tangible links to reality, once you strip them down to their bare bones, i.e. most fundamental archetypal form.  But then again, it's hard to believe no tools and such were left behind which would clearly indicate the miners were indeed from the Mideast or Europe. 

Those pre-Columbian settlements in eastern Canada, in contrast, clearly shows they were made by Vikings, because of the tools left behind and the remnants of Viking-like dwellings.

What about these stones of Markawasi...? Its quite interesting, maybe they were trying to make something similar to Mt. Rushmore if they were man-made Tongue

Most of those, like the ghost face and bear, are clearly naturally made. The Chulpas are most probably man made though. Regardless, all except the Chulpas could have been carved out by natural process in my opinion.

EDIT: Forgot to say; Thanks for the link Kamikaze..they are very interesting. It is amazing to see what you can make out of geological "monuments" if you examine them closely enough! Smile

The reason the Bimini road coincides with Atlantis, is becuase a very well-known psychic named Edgar Cayce predicted that a part of the lost city would be found in the exact same spot, and if im not mistaken, even predicted the exact year it would be found. He died in 1945.
