Sunken Cities

Sunken Cities explores the fascinating world of submerged settlements, blending history, mythology, and archaeological discoveries to uncover civilizations lost to the sea. The book examines the geological and environmental factors that caused these cities to sink, as well as the cultural impact and enduring myths they’ve inspired. Readers will discover how marine archaeology and insights from environmental science are used to study these underwater sites.

The book progresses geographically, starting with the Mediterranean, including the legendary Atlantis and the submerged city of Pavlopetri in Greece, one of the oldest underwater cities. It then moves to Asia, exploring cities like Dwarka in India, lost to rising sea levels and tsunamis.

By studying these sites, the book reveals valuable lessons for addressing contemporary issues like climate change and coastal management, demonstrating how past civilizations' struggles offer insights for our future.
