LOST CITY FOUND UNDER WATER: Dwarka, India

I often wonder how many lost cities there actually are out there and especially ones that have sunken into the sea over time. We sometimes hear of these fascinating cities being uncovered by scientists, divers and even general members of the public.

The remains of a 9,500 year old city in the Bay of Cambay in India has been uncovered 120 feet underwater along with some human parts! The five mile long and two mile wide place known as Dwarka or The Golden City is believed to have been home to Krishna the Hindi god.

It was a just by a stroke of luck this find was discovered as oceanographers were actually conducting a survey of pollution.
This has thrown out all the research done by scientists that had findings from the area from 5,000 years ago. Going back another 4,500 years has forced them to think again about their theories on the history of civilization there.

The debris that was taken from the site were parts of walls, building material, pottery, sculptures, beads and human bones and teeth that exposed the site was 9,500 years old when carbon dated.

It is said the city was sank in the last Ice when the ice caps melted. As devastating as it all sounds doesn't it make you want to go back into time to see how it all happened and what the city was like when it was full of people?
