The underwater world of lost civilizations...
Underwater cities are a subject that has fascinated researchers for a long time. They are difficult to find and even more difficult to study, but we already know several examples of ruins of lost civilizations that are hidden in the depths of the sea.
The most famous is the ancient part of the Egyptian city of Alexandria.
The city, founded in 331 AD with a famous library, gradually began to sink when the sea level unexpectedly began to rise. Eventually, the Mediterranean Sea swallowed the historically thinnest part of the city. Today, the ruins are located 6 to 8 meters below the surface of the water and are a popular tourist attraction, and archaeologists are still discovering new facts.
According to Mayan legends, the world has already ended several times (global floods?) and the trace of human civilization ends about 12 thousand years ago (that is how old the oldest human city, Qaramel, discovered a few years ago in present-day Syria). Global studies of the layers of the earth have confirmed traces of the flood about 12-13 thousand years ago / This means that the history of human civilizations, which in the eyes of archaeology is still getting longer… may be at least twice as long. Perhaps many thousands of years ago there were advanced civilizations on all continents and trade, which helped, for example, in similar technical thought in different parts of the world (e.g. building pyramids).
Maybe this is the context of the story of Atlantis?
Of course, some of the flooded cities are the result of earthquakes or ancient climate changes, but it seems that if we were to look for the real beginnings of human civilization, the best place would be… underwater depths.
