Archeologists Explore 5,000 Year-Old Submerged City
Posted by Andrew on October 16th, 200950 meters off the coast of Laconia in Greece archeologists are mapping the oldest submerged city in the world.
From ScienceDaily:
Possibly one of the most important discoveries has been the identification of what could be a megaron — a large rectangular great hall — from the Early Bronze Age period. They have also found over 150 metres of new buildings including what could be the first example of a pillar crypt ever discovered on the Greek mainland. Two new stone built cist graves were also discovered alongside what appears to be a Middle Bronze Age pithos burial.
