WOW-Massive man-made circular structure-between 2000 & 12,000 yrs old, at the bottom Sea of Galilee
Submerged Structure Beneath Sea of Galilee Stumps Archaeologists
..............
It’s thousands of years old — a conical, manmade behemoth weighing hundreds of tons, practically begging to be explored.
The problem is — it’s at the bottom of the biblical Sea of Galilee. For now, at least, Israeli researchers are left stranded on dry land, wondering what finds lurk below.
The monumental structure, made of boulders and stones with a diameter of 70 meters (230 feet), emerged from a routine sonar scan in 2003. Now archaeologists are trying to raise money to allow them access to the submerged stones.
“It’s very enigmatic, it’s very interesting, but the bottom line is we don’t know when it’s from, we don’t know what it’s connected to, we don’t know its function,” said Dani Nadel, an archaeologist at the University of Haifa who is one of several researchers studying the discovery. “We only know it is there, it is huge and it is unusual."

I am confused as to why archeology appears to be a smirk-worthy topic here though?
You can get formations like your picture (there's a space between the 't' and 'm' for some reason, by the way). But you can also get less regular outcrops, like this one from Wikipedia
