The pyramid was found in an area of the mid-Atlantic that has been estimated to be underwater for about 20,000 years. Reports from the Portugese American Journal claim archeologists from the Portuguese Association of Archaeological Research (APIA) have found archaeological evidence on Pico island supporting the notion that human occupation of the Azores predates the arrival of the Portuguese by several thousands of years.

Researchers have discovered an underwater pyramid 60 meters high and 8000 meters square base near the Bank De João de Castro, between the islands of Terceira and São Miguel.
The structure was identified by the sailor Diocleciano Smith (in this video) based on bathymetry readings. The author does not believe that the pyramid is of natural origin.

There are so many blogs, websites and news reports on this discovery and others similar to it, because of the new technology we all now have. Things like this can be easily discovered. What I don’t understand is why information like this is not in the mainstream news? Even the government from these archaeological sites confirms & recognize their existence. What’s going on?
