The life-size statue was created by Cuban artist José Villa, who captured the image of the British singer-songwriter as his fans remember him: with long hair, jeans, boots and his trademark glasses, sitting on a bench rather than a marble pedestal.

For it now appears that Cuban archaeologists were working on the theory that Ceuva # Uno's petroglyphs reflected some kind of cosmic catastrophe which devastated the region in prehistoric times as early as 1951, a full decade before the country came under Communist control.
Why exactly is not made clear in the article, although I would suspect that these ideas were based on Donnelly's concept of a diffusion of shared ideas among cultures on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, due to the proposed migration of peoples from Atlantis following its destruction.
Whatever the reasons, the Cuban archaeologists confirmed that they had found all of these things on Cuba, but, as the article stated, there would have to be a revolution of the established ways of thinking before their presence would be seen as evidence for the existence of Atlantis.
