Sunken Realms

The world's most extensive list -- by region -- of sunken cities and megalithic underwater sites currently known. Karen Mutton begins by discussing some of the causes for sunken ruins: super-floods; volcanoes; earthquakes, plate tectonics and other theories. She then discusses Plato's Atlantis and the various areas of the Mediterranean and Atlantic that have been proposed as the locations for that lost civilisation. The final chapters are on ruins and structures in lakes and inland seas, plus a brief look at modern and medieval sunken ruins. Locales include Cadiz; Morocco; Alexandria; The Bay of Naples; Libya; Phoenician and Egyptian sites; Roman era sites; Yarmuta, Lebanon; Cyprus; Malta; Thule & Hyperborea; Carnac, Brittany; Isle of Wight; Canaries and Azores; Bahamas; Cuba; Bermuda; Mexico; Peru; Micronesia; California; Japan; Indian Ocean; Sri Lanka Land Bridge; India; Sumer; and inland lakes in Scotland, Russia, Iran, China, Wisconsin, Florida and more.
