In a groundbreaking discovery, archaeologists have unearthed an ancient underwater city believed to be over 6,000 years old. This remarkable find, located off the coast of Greece, is reshaping our understanding of early human civilisation and rewriting historical timelines.
A Glimpse into the Past
The submerged ruins, discovered during an underwater survey, reveal a complex network of structures, including walls, streets, and even pottery. Experts suggest that this city thrived during a period previously thought to be devoid of such advanced settlements.
Challenging Historical Narratives
The discovery challenges long-held beliefs about the timeline of human development. "This city predates many known ancient civilisations, forcing us to reconsider the pace of societal advancement," said Dr. Elena Korka, a leading archaeologist on the project.
What Lies Beneath?
Preliminary findings indicate that the city was likely a bustling hub of trade and culture before being swallowed by rising sea levels. Researchers are now working to uncover more artefacts that could shed light on the daily lives of its inhabitants.
Future Explorations
With advanced underwater technology, the team plans to conduct further excavations, hoping to reveal more secrets of this lost civilisation. "This is just the beginning," Dr. Korka added. "Every dive brings us closer to understanding our ancient past."
