submerged archaeological sites

Submerged archaeological sites are ancient locations that are now underwater due to rising sea levels or changes in the landscape. These sites often include sunken cities, ports, or settlements preserved beneath lakes, rivers, or oceans. They provide valuable insights into past human activities, cultures, and environments. Advances in underwater archaeology, such as sonar imaging and diving technology, allow researchers to locate and study these sites without damaging them. They reveal a hidden history of human adaptation and migration, offering a unique perspective on our collective past.
