Where are the two splendid ancient cities under the sea?

As far back as 600 BC, the Greeks established a city called Dior Scurria on the east bank of the Black Sea. At that time, it was a huge commercial center of the Greeks and it was extremely prosperous. Later, it became a ruin in the catastrophe of nature.

Around the 6th century BC, the Romans rebuilt the city of Indianapolis here. With majestic walls and advanced defense facilities, it can be called the largest city in the Black Sea. But to everyone's regret, the history of the city has been interrupted since then, and the city has never been mentioned in the history books. It was not until more than 2,000 years later that people rediscovered these two splendid ancient civilized cities on the seabed.

With the deepening of the research, the researchers described the scene when the ancient city along the Black Sea coast was destroyed. In ancient times, a group of brave navigators crossed the Black Sea by boat and settled on the beautiful coast, becoming the earliest immigrants here. They built houses, warehouses, castles, city walls and towers here, making it a city with a certain scale, developing its own civilization and becoming the trade center of all ethnic groups living in the north and nearby areas.

However, when they built the city, they ignored the stability of the land under their feet. The sea gradually eroded the soil, and their self-help measures pushed themselves to the sea. In order to prevent seawater erosion, urban residents have built revetment walls and other protective buildings.

So water seeped into the ground, the underlying layer was soaked, and the land became heavier and heavier. The weight of the swollen clods greatly exceeded the friction force that temporarily maintained their balance, and the soil layer of the whole city began to slide. The blocks of the city gradually slide into the sea, the streets collapse downward and the sea water seeps into the houses. The steep coast collapsed into the sea, the stone walls of houses and palaces collapsed, and the city slipped into the middle of the sea step by step, sleeping for two thousand years.

Covered by layers of coastal alluvial soil, there are still many splendid civilizations created by the ancients under the gravel that have failed to reproduce their former glory.
