Scientists amazed at the discovery of an underwater road that points to a 7000-year-old city

The submerged Neolithic city most possibly belonged to the pre-historic remains of ancient Hvar civilization located in Croatia.

I see you posted this misinformation twice. Here and in World News.
This is the original article: https://www.bradford.ac.uk/news/archive/2024/undersea-scans-of-gateway-to-europe-reveal-astonishing-detail-of-sunken-landscape.php
It mentions nothing about a city. There was no city. That is just a total fabrication.
I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.
Directly from the article
"To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site."
I'm not personally saying that one building is a city but it's a start.
They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I'm not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.
A settlement isn't even close to a city. A settlement isn't even a village.
Also, you need to read your own article. This is the very first paragraph:
In ancient times, the Adriatic Sea was a major trade route for the Croatian population, which is likely why scientists have discovered various antiquities submerged in this sea. From Roman artifacts to a 2,200-year-old shipwreck and networks of sunken streams, the sea has revealed some fascinating discoveries, reported the University of Bradford. But this time, divers have stumbled upon something that left scientists flabbergasted.
That links to the Bradford article I linked to.
I bet that excavating underwater for archaeology is horrible. You don't want to damage anything, and anything you do is going to throw up a cloud of silt that will hide what you're working on.
Maybe you can pump the water elsewhere or something.
EDIT: Hah! They actually are doing that, show it in a video at the end of the page if you watch through it.
Plus you have to be extra delicate while wearing underwater equipment. Must be difficult to say the least.
I don't think it's too difficult. Especially when you can adjust buoyancy to float at whichever height you want to
And you can't stay underwater for the same length, you'll get the bends. Maybe better to just scan it, what a nightmare.
Is 850 feet deep enough to get the bends? I thought that was just dives deeper than a couple thousand feet.
I chose 850 because that's the average depth of the Adriadic Sea, though it has a maximum depth of 4050 feet, so if they are in the deeper parts, that would definitely be a concern. I would think they'd use a mini sub if it was though.
It's always best to find the original article. It's linked from this article in this case.
Note that the original mentions nothing about a city. That's just this article sensationalizing.
"These are the carefully complex stone plates that were part of a four-meter wide communication that connected the artificially created island with the shore," the experts mentioned in the post.
Yet another example of how skilled pur ancestors were in building techniques. An artificially created island and a road to connect it!
Humans are creative and have been for tens of thousands of years. No, ancient civilizations were not some kind of advanced lost space faring spciety, but they did build ingenious long lasting structures long before we thought they could.
But but ... Aliens?
Readers disappointed that no underwater cars were discovered on the road
Five bucks says conspiracy-twitter is talking about this relative to atlantis.
The latest ep of the QAA podcast looked at how qanon is full-throttle on twitter at present. It was a disappointing revelation, but a funny episode. I don't use that shitty site so I was blissfully unaware. I'm cheering Lonnie running it into the ground.
Good. Atlantis talk is fun.
Haven’t listened to Q Anon Anonymous in a bit. Sad to see that it still needs to exist.
Well, the Atlansis people are here. In before "the great flood of Noah" people.
Don't know about Noah, but the consensus is moving toward acceptance that there was a 'great flood' of sorts sometime around the end of the Younger Dryas period.
This is my favourite theory of these https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_hypothesis
This myth has been getting posted for years now.
