submerged cities

Submerged cities are urban areas that have been partially or completely underwater due to various reasons, such as rising sea levels, natural disasters, or the construction of dams. These cities often hold historical significance and can be remnants of ancient civilizations, like Atlantis, or more recent towns like the village of Tinnis in Egypt, which was flooded by the Aswan High Dam. Archaeologists and scientists study these submerged locations to learn about past cultures, environmental changes, and the impacts of human activity on the planet. Increasingly, concerns about climate change raise awareness of the potential for more cities to become submerged.
