AFTER 50,000 YEARS, NEANDERTHAL SKULL AND ARTIFACTS EMERGE FROM 456 FEET OF SEAWATER OFF MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA. The Neanderthal site is inside a recently exposed underwater cave (Fig. 3). Beneath an incredible 456 ft (139 m) of seawater. It is near the top of the north side of the Canyon wall (Fig. 9). Just below the edge of the MC plateau. The cave is 15.5 miles (24.9 k) due west of the busy Moss Landing marina. Which is centered on the California coast between the popular tourist towns of Santa Cruz to the north, and Monterey to the south. Just eight miles (12.9 k) due south of the cave, the MC's main chasm plummets to over 3,000 ft (914 m) below sea level. As it begins it descent to staggering depths.
