Exploring Underwater Archaeological Sites and Lost Civilizations
Underwater archaeological sites like Yonaguni showcase a vast array of man-made monuments, emphasizing the importance of investigating tropical regions near the equator for potential lost civilizations. Many archaeological discoveries are accidental, with limited targeted searches for lost civilizations. The archaeological excavation of sites, often less than 5%, aims to preserve for future generations. However, sites like Pavlo Petri in the Aegean reveal submerged ancient artifacts, indicating occupation due to tectonic activity, not sea level rise. These underwater sites, including Helike off the north coast of Greece, offer substantial evidence of past civilizations and prompt intrigue for further exploration.
