Subject: 5000 year old city finally gshows itself From: Cherokee posted Fri, Oct 16 2009, 8:06pm  I love stories like this. Ancient underwater cities. Atlantis discovery is just around the corner. =) Sea gives up secrets to experts Subject: Re: 5000 year old city finally gshows itself From: Aelfwine posted Sat, Oct 17 2009, 8:49am  I wonder why it is submerged. It seems to have been above water until 3000 years ago. The only thing I can think of at the moment is vulanic activity and/or earthquakes that lead to a reforming of the local landscape.

Sea levels rising and all that good stuff. =) Subject: Re: 5000 year old city finally gshows itself From: luna1580 posted Sat, Oct 17 2009, 8:37pm  thanks becca, i've heard of Pavlopetri before, it's fantastic that it's finally being investigated. why the 42-year gap between investigations? i seem to remember something about the greek government refusing anyone permission to dive there until now, i wonder what changed?
