Submerged Sites
Submerged sites are archaeological locations that are currently underwater, often due to rising sea levels, flooding, or changes in land use. These sites can include ancient cities, shipwrecks, and artifacts that provide valuable insights into past human activities and cultures. Researchers study submerged sites to learn about historical events, trade routes, and environmental changes.
Exploration of submerged sites often involves underwater archaeology, which uses specialized equipment and techniques to recover artifacts and document findings. Notable submerged sites include the ancient city of Atlantis, the Mary Rose shipwreck, and the Bimini Road, each offering unique glimpses into history and human civilization.
