Lost Mediterranean Cities explores submerged urban landscapes in the Mediterranean, offering unique insights into history, Earth sciences, and geography. It reveals how geological events, such as sea-level changes and seismic activity, caused cities to sink, impacting human settlements. Marine archaeology uncovers architectural remains and artifacts, shedding light on daily life and cultural practices. These submerged sites provide critical lessons about resilience, adaptation, and environmental change, challenging traditional historical narratives.
The book examines specific case studies like Pavlopetri, Atlit-Yam, and Baia, detailing their histories, submersion causes, and archaeological discoveries. Advanced technologies, including sonar and 3D modeling, aid exploration and documentation efforts to preserve underwater cultural heritage. By combining archaeological data with geological analyses, Lost Mediterranean Cities uncovers the interplay between human societies and their environment.
