"You mean to tell me that two huge cities lay undiscovered for 1,200 years just below the surface of the water? What do those people do over there?"

Apparently not much diving. I'll bet they have been pull up things from there in their nets for centuries.

Hell no they aren’t going to dive in that sludge! If you have been taking dumps in it for the last 1200 years who and the hell is going to swim in it? Not even these dumb asses will do that.

"Apparently not much diving. I'll bet they have been pulling up things from there in their nets for centuries."

You're probably right. Then they throw them back in water not realizing the artifacts they found could help answer many age old questions about the ancient past. What bothers me is the many third-world countries that brag about their indigenous cultures and then let their ancient monuments crumble into dust by exposure to the elements. Consider Greece. Though it's not exactly an "third-world" country, its countryside is littered with the remains of it's ancient past which apparently they don't care about. But they make all kinds of noise about Britain having the "Elgin Marbles."
