People sometimes do not even suspect how many ancient treasures and attractions can be seen on land, and at the bottom of lakes, seas, oceans. This city has gone beneath the waves after an earthquake and tsunami, and villages, especially flooded with people or caught under water after man-made disasters. Today we present the 7 wonders of the world, which nowadays can only be seen with an aqualung.�� �
Alexandria, Egypt
Near the shores of the largest Egyptian port founded by Alexander the great majestic Alexandria ruins of a magnificent Palace, sunken together with ancient statues and other priceless artifacts. According to legend, it was the residence of the famous Queen Cleopatra. Indeed, after the earthquake that happened 1500 years ago, the ground sank, and some urban neighborhoods were flooded. But lived in the Palace of the beautiful Cleopatra, unknown (after all, this was the name of at least seven different rulers of Ancient Egypt). To the ancient treasure could see not only divers in the near future in Alexandria plans to build an underwater Museum.
Kabasci Gulf, India
From time immemorial in these places at the intersection of waterways located the most important trading city and port. The remains of the huge population, the age of which has 9,500 years old, were discovered under water recently. All stones, monuments, burial perfectly preserved. Scientists have various theories: the drowned village associated with the world's oldest civilization of Harappa and some even claim that this is the legendary Atlantis.
Lake Phayao, Thailand
Perhaps you will say that there is nothing unusual in the fact that 500-year-old Thai temple is located on the bottom of the lake Phayao. Such flooded buildings can be found around the world. However, this lake is man-made: it appeared in just 70 years ago, and now in Thai society, discusses the rebuilding of the temple that will cost billions of dollars. Opponents restore me remind you that now ruins serve as a habitat for rare fish, and this emerging ecosystem cannot be destroyed.
Yonaguni, Japan
Mysterious pyramid found off the coast of Japan about twenty years ago, controversial. Underwater complex was discovered as a diving instructor accidentally. Near the shore he saw a huge clearly man-made platforms and terraces, walls of which were covered with geometric patterns. Descended into the water, the researchers saw at the bottom of the whole city: street, stairs, tunnels, mines, found sculptures of people and animals. Scientists suggest that these buildings rose out of the water about 10 thousand years ago, but what the nation has built all of this out so far failed.
Havana, Cuba
Today scientists continue to explore the mysterious megalithic ruins, found in Cuba in the Straits of Yucatan. Today we only know that in the vast territory along the shore of the ocean was a giant city. Some believe that it was inhabited by representatives of almost the most ancient civilization on the planet that existed in these places long before all known American cultures of the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans.
North sea, Europe
Unusual excitement divers who dared to dive into the cold water of the North sea. In these places was found lost, but well-preserved natural landscape. Land with rivers, lakes, what did hunters and gatherers who lived more than 10 thousand years ago, there are now only on the bottom of the sea.
Atlantis, Antarctica
(? )
More than a hundred years ago, the curator of the Museum in Istanbul, made a remarkable discovery. Studying ancient maps, he found that on the place of modern Antarctica marked mountain chain. This is another one of the many clues suggest that the Antarctic is the legendary lost continent of Atlantis. The researchers argue that once instead of snow and ice continent was covered with fertile land, it was flowing river. And therefore, possibly under the snows of the southern continent are many hidden secrets.
