Of all the ancient civilizations, the one which fascinates me is Crete.
It was clearly a real power in the early years of Mediterranean civilizations yet not a lot is known about it.
I have always suspected that it holds many interesting secrets.

Oh! Geographically “underwater”, not financially. I thought this was yet another report on The Detroit Bankruptcy.

Any mention of the lost cities supposedly found just off the west coast of South America? The newspapers in March and April 1966 had stores of them on the front page.

One thing which intrigues me about Crete is that it is mentioned a lot in Greek history. Such as in the Iliad and the Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
It was a major power at one time but that era, at least in Crete, seems to be lost in the shadows of history.

Anyone with sense knows to build on a knoll, not at creekbed level or underwater. How smart could these folks have been?

Khazaran-Atil isn’t the only Khazar city under water. Sarkel was flooded in 1952 with the creation of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir
