The submerged Neolithic city most possibly belonged to the pre-historic remains of ancient Hvar civilization located in Croatia.
I see you posted this misinformation twice. Here and in World News.
This is the original article: https://www.bradford.ac.uk/news/archive/2024/undersea-scans-of-gateway-to-europe-reveal-astonishing-detail-of-sunken-landscape.php
It mentions nothing about a city. There was no city. That is just a total fabrication.
I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.
Directly from the article
“To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site.”
I’m not personally saying that one building is a city but it’s a start.
They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I’m not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.
A settlement isn’t even close to a city. A settlement isn’t even a village.
Also, you need to read your own article. This is the very first paragraph:
In ancient times, the Adriatic Sea was a major trade route for the Croatian population, which is likely why scientists have discovered various antiquities submerged in this sea. From Roman artifacts to a 2,200-year-old shipwreck and networks of sunken streams, the sea has revealed some fascinating discoveries, reported the University of Bradford. But this time, divers have stumbled upon something that left scientists flabbergasted.
That links to the Bradford article I linked to.
And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.
Here’s a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.
You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a “total fabrication” when there’s roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.
Roads, tools and habitation are signs of humans. They are not cities. There are roads, tools and houses on farms. Farms are not cities. The city part was just a lie.
Just glancing at the two articles that were posted, they seem a bit different from each other, OPs definitely has a clickbaity title, but it does mention multiple settlements. Is that a city? Not by today’s standards, nor the standards of any other well recorded period of history… times change though. The town I live in has a population of roughly 250k or so but is not much of a city at all, village would be more appropriate for what is available in my mind. We have food and junk shops, but no real services… Its a bit of a shithole town though.
Thank you both for having enough discourse in the comments to make me engaged enough to learn about some ancient shit! Thanks!
It’s always best to find the original article. It’s linked from this article in this case.
Note that the original mentions nothing about a city. That’s just this article sensationalizing.
“These are the carefully complex stone plates that were part of a four-meter wide communication that connected the artificially created island with the shore,” the experts mentioned in the post.
Yet another example of how skilled pur ancestors were in building techniques. An artificially created island and a road to connect it!
Humans are creative and have been for tens of thousands of years. No, ancient civilizations were not some kind of advanced lost space faring spciety, but they did build ingenious long lasting structures long before we thought they could.
But but … Aliens?
So that’s how the Sea Peoples invaded… /s
By foot. Much easier. No hassle with those pesky ships and boats and such.
Just got this shirt in the mail. Haven’t had a chance to wear it yet.
Gotta add Korçuli with a fabric marker.
I Ain’t Gonna Play Korçuli City
Readers disappointed that no underwater cars were discovered on the road
…Atlantis?
Wasn’t Atlantis was the Eye of the Sahra, i.e. The Richat Structure
That’s the remnants of an old super volcano.
Atlantis was a thought experiment, not a real place.
reallly??? fuuuuuuuckkk dude
Five bucks says conspiracy-twitter is talking about this relative to atlantis.
The latest ep of the QAA podcast looked at how qanon is full-throttle on twitter at present. It was a disappointing revelation, but a funny episode. I don’t use that shitty site so I was blissfully unaware. I’m cheering Lonnie running it into the ground.
Good. Atlantis talk is fun.
Haven’t listened to Q Anon Anonymous in a bit. Sad to see that it still needs to exist.
Well, the Atlansis people are here. In before “the great flood of Noah” people.
