I see you posted this misinformation twice. Here and in World News.
This is the original article: https://www.bradford.ac.uk/news/archive/2024/undersea-scans-of-gateway-to-europe-reveal-astonishing-detail-of-sunken-landscape.php
It mentions nothing about a city. There was no city. That is just a total fabrication.
I bet that excavating underwater for archaeology is horrible. You don't want to damage anything, and anything you do is going to throw up a cloud of silt that will hide what you're working on.
Maybe you can pump the water elsewhere or something.
EDIT: Hah! They actually are doing that, show it in a video at the end of the page if you watch through it.
Plus you have to be extra delicate while wearing underwater equipment. Must be difficult to say the least.
I don't think it's too difficult. Especially when you can adjust buoyancy to float at whichever height you want to
And you can't stay underwater for the same length, you'll get the bends. Maybe better to just scan it, what a nightmare.
Is 850 feet deep enough to get the bends? I thought that was just dives deeper than a couple thousand feet.
I chose 850 because that's the average depth of the Adriadic Sea, though it has a maximum depth of 4050 feet, so if they are in the deeper parts, that would definitely be a concern. I would think they'd use a mini sub if it was though.
850 feet? You can get decompression sickness at, believe it or not, just 20 feet.
600 feet is generally the max for commercial diving, and that requires extensive decompression.
850 feet is for record attempts, not work. I think 1000’ or thereabouts is the world record.
Fair enough. I got claustrophobic at Mammoth Cave, so I tend to stay on top of the water. Surfing/swimming is my jam, not diving.
It's always best to find the original article. It's linked from this article in this case.
Note that the original mentions nothing about a city. That's just this article sensationalizing.
"These are the carefully complex stone plates that were part of a four-meter wide communication that connected the artificially created island with the shore," the experts mentioned in the post.
Yet another example of how skilled pur ancestors were in building techniques. An artificially created island and a road to connect it!
Humans are creative and have been for tens of thousands of years. No, ancient civilizations were not some kind of advanced lost space faring spciety, but they did build ingenious long lasting structures long before we thought they could.
But but ... Aliens?
So that's how the Sea Peoples invaded... /s
By foot. Much easier. No hassle with those pesky ships and boats and such.
Just got this shirt in the mail. Haven't had a chance to wear it yet.
Gotta add Korçuli with a fabric marker.
I Ain't Gonna Play Korçuli City
Readers disappointed that no underwater cars were discovered on the road
Five bucks says conspiracy-twitter is talking about this relative to atlantis.
The latest ep of the QAA podcast looked at how qanon is full-throttle on twitter at present. It was a disappointing revelation, but a funny episode. I don't use that shitty site so I was blissfully unaware. I'm cheering Lonnie running it into the ground.
Haven’t listened to Q Anon Anonymous in a bit. Sad to see that it still needs to exist.
…Atlantis?
Atlantis was a thought experiment, not a real place.
reallly?????? fuuuuuuuckkk dude
Wasn't Atlantis was the Eye of the Sahra, i.e. The Richat Structure
That’s the remnants of an old super volcano.
Why not both? People live near Yellowstone.
Well, the Atlansis people are here. In before "the great flood of Noah" people.
Don't know about Noah, but the consensus is moving toward acceptance that there was a 'great flood' of sorts sometime around the end of the Younger Dryas period.
This is my favourite theory of these https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_hypothesis
That hypothetical flood would have probably affected the direct ancestors of the Greeks... strange that Plato would only learn about it from the relatively remote Egyptians.
Looking at the oral stories of North American natives and comparing them to what we know of historical geological events, we see some truth to the stories. So it’s plausible some stories of the Old Testament could have some historical roots.
Big floods happen all over the world all the time…
Also true. We're talking about 2 separate flooding events. One in the black sea region, and another in Montana. As well as several other major historical floods around the world, and yes, Christians use that to account for one world flood, but the much more likely answer is that this was fairly common as the ice age ended. And we can see that it has been fairly common. As the icedams broke that held back huge amounts of water, it tended to wipe out anything and everything in the area, and people would talk about it for generations.
Greece was covered by the melting ice wall at the time.
