[ufosightingsfootage]

(via Is India's Atlantis The Lost City Of Dwarka 🐟🐠🐡🔱🔱🔱)

Until recently the very existence of Dwarka was thought by many to be merely legend. In 2001 the Indian government recovered materials from an underwater archaeological site in the Gulf of Khambhat. Pottery, sections of walls, beads, sculpture, and human bones and teeth from the site were carbon dated and found to be nearly 9,500 years old. Is it Atlantis. Well, many are now reexamining what they thought they knew about "traditional" archaeology because of this epic discovery. 🔱🦈🐡��☠💀👽🛸✨🐱‍🏍🌑🌏😎👽

Know your history: Preserved under a hundred feet of seawater this 10-20k yr old archaeological site, a city submerged by the rising oceans of the ending of our most recent ice age, is ignored by western racist pseudoscientists who populate university tenure rosters, because it doesn't support their anglocentric death cult. Yet the evidence has arrived, and a mountain of it, to support central tenets and stories of Hinduism, our planet's oldest organized religion.

Who are we? Scattered around the world are enumerable relics, writings, sculptures, paintings, hieroglyphics dating back to ancient Sumerian, Incan, Mayan, and Egyptian times, & older communicating, depicting, corroborating widespread folklore and myth about a predominant race that may have been the original architects of many of the megalithic sites around the planet. For many archaeologists their existence defies the standard taught model of Darwinian human evolution. Indigenous Peoples teach this creation story similar to the ancient Sumerian story, that we were seeded here millions of years ago to mine gold for the gods, the Annunaki, higher beings claimed to be the creators of us. The Dogon tribe from Mali also have a rich oral history and understanding of cosmic interaction with this race of humanoids. Ancient Vedic literature describes wars between extraterrestrials and humans on a global scale predating the Great Flood that changed the surface of the world. Plato’s historic writings of Atlantis and other literature describe an even more ancient civilization called Lemuria and its people who are claimed to have co-existed with these gods. One wonders how these ancient cultures all shared an understanding based on similar mythology while separated today by thousands of miles. I’m considering the possibility that it’s more than just myth. Similar to how Troy was only a myth until its discovery, or Dwarka, the mythological sunken city off the coast of India that was revealed after the 2004 tsunami, or Yonaguni out under the sea off southern Okinawa. From Peru to the isle of Santorini, Ukraine, the Gobi Desert of China, India and all throughout The Americas, ancient archaeological evidence continues to defy mankind’s current standard model. Perhaps a correction in our understanding of the past will help us be in tune with our now, guiding us toward a more hopeful future for us all.

Sunken Cities That Were Once Major Destinations

Everyone has heard the legend of Atlantis, the incredible city that was swallowed up by the ocean and never seen again. People have spent their whole lives looking for this place to prove that it really existed, but it has not yet been discovered.

What has been discovered, though, are several other sunken cities that were once major destinations. These cities were and are very real, and many of them look the same underwater as they did up on land. Here is a list of five of the most impressive sunken cities that would have been worth a visit even before the ocean claimed them.

Port Royal, Jamaica

Port Royal was like the Las Vegas of Jamaica. Referred to as "the most wicked and sinful city in the world" by multiple sources, this city was once home to everything from pirates and boozing to partying and prostitutes. Some say that this history of sinfulness is the reason why it was plunged into the ocean in 1692, when a massive earthquake hit Jamaica. Others say that the reason for its sinking was due to its faulty and unstable foundations on the island, but either way, more than 2,000 people lost their lives when it sank into the ocean. It is still frequently visited now, not by pirates, but by archaeologists searching for more of the almost perfectly preserved artifacts that were left behind.

Dwarka, India

This sunken Indian city is often compared to Atlantis, due to the fact that so much that is known about it is based on myth. According to Hindu texts from ancient times, Dwarka was founded by the Hindu god Krishna, and was often a place of battle between the god and the evil King Salva.

The descriptions of the battles

 that took place here have actually led to many theorizing that aliens were involved, since the technology of the weapons were so advanced for their time. While all of this might be enough to make one give up on the city out of sheer disbelief, all it takes is one look at the submerged ruins to prove that it was, indeed, a real place. Seventy feet beneath the sea lies a myriad of artifacts ranging from anchors and pottery to the partial walls of the structures of the city, making it clear that, however the city was made, it really did exist.

Shi Cheng, China

If you think that every sunken city was submerged hundreds of years ago, think again. Shi Cheng in China actually sank quite recently in the grand scheme of things: it was flooded in the 1950s. This 2,000-year-old city was once a huge economic hub founded during the Han Dynasty, and was a big tourist destination even when it was above sea level due to some incredible statues, art, and intricately-carved buildings. Unfortunately, when the government built a hydroelectric power station in the 1950s, the city was lost forever to the sea as it was flooded out. It now rests an incredible 130 feet underwater, but many of the statues, buildings, and pieces of art are still there for tourists to explore.

Phanagoria, Greece

Phanagoria was once the largest city in Greece. Now, though, at least one third of it is submerged beneath the waters of the Black Sea. Founded in 543 B.C. by Teian colonists fleeing Asia Minor, the city was a spectacular sight even when it was just beginning. This area of the Taman Peninsula was home to nearly every natural wonder there is: ravines, hills, craters, and even active volcanoes. The city soon began to thrive in this location, becoming a big trade hub and, eventually, the main economic center of Greece.

After many centuries of war, the city eventually sank, only to be rediscovered by archaeologists centuries after that, who became highly interested in the submerged kingdom when they discovered the gravestone of Hypsikrates. She was the wife of Mithridates VI, king of Pontus—and someone who was once thought to be a figure from a myth. Further exploration revealed more incredible artifacts and locations, including a large necropolis where many important figures were buried.

Cleopatra's Kingdom, Egypt

While all of the sunken cities on this list are impressive, Cleopatra's Kingdom just off the coast of Alexandria may just be the most impressive of all. The royal palace of one of Egypt's most famous figures was discovered just 20 years ago, having been lost for over 1,600 years. When Cleopatra was alive, she had many different palaces, one of which was on the island of Antirhodos. The island was extremely luxurious, and featured enormous pillars with crowns etched onto them, leading visitors to the palace itself. The palace was then surrounded by sphinxes and statues of Egyptian goddesses, surely making it something quite breathtaking to see when it was above water.

Four hundred years after Cleopatra's death, though, the island was submerged by devastating earthquakes and tsunamis and remained hidden for centuries. When it was finally rediscovered in 1998, archaeologists found that many of the crowned pillars and much of the foundation of the palace were still intact. Now, the heads of enormous Sphinxes and Egyptian goddess statues greet explorers under the sea, where Egypt hopes to one day open an underwater museum.

Modern-day Atlantis: Mind-blowing underwater cities

Once upon a time, there was a really advanced city, some would say even too advanced for its time. The legend says that one day, the ocean swallowed the city and it was never seen again. This is a legend most of you heard about: the legend of Atlantis. Well, in this article I will write about the underwater cities of our time that you probably didn’t hear about, or how I like to call them, the Atlantis of our time.

Shi Cheng, China

Shi Cheng, also known as The Lion City is one of China’s most popular tourist attractions today. The city was once the economic hub of the eastern province Zhejiang. The city was founded during the rule of the Han dynasty somewhere around and is around 2000 years old. However, the amazing architecture and intriguing statues didn’t save the city from flooding in the 1950s when the government decided to build a new hydroelectric power station. Today, all of the amazing sculptures and buildings are around 130 feet under water. What’s left of the Shi Cheng is a flooded city with a size roughly equal to 63 football fields.

Port Royal, Jamaica

Port Royal was famous as the ‘Pirate hub of Jamaica’ and as the ‘Most sinful city of the world. I can see how this city would be an inspiration for the blockbuster ‘Pirates of the Caribbean. In 1692, after the big earthquakes that hit Jamaica Port Royal was swallowed by the ocean. Most of the inhabitants died. Some people still claim that this was God’s punishment for the “most sinful city in the world’. Today the city lies forty feet below the ocean.

Villa Epecuen, Argentina

32 years ago, one of the most famous spa towns in Argentina vanished when the Lake Epecuen completely flooded the town after heavy rains. 5,000 people lost everything they had with the blink of an eye. In 2009, the lake began to recede and in 2011 the town got back one of its inhabitants. Pablo Novak is currently the only inhabitant Villa Epecuen.

Cleopatra’s Palace, Egypt

Near the coast of Alexandria lies the ancient palace of Cleopatra. According to most scientists, the city ruins have been cast into the sea after an earthquake 1600 hundred years ago. A lot of ancient artefacts were found in the flooded city, including the grave of Cleopatra and the temple of Isis. Unfortunately, the ruins are still not open for visitors, but we hope that’ll change soon. There’s a lot to see down there.

Baia, Italy underwater cities

The city of Baia was the Las Vegas of ancient Rome. The city was famous for its hot springs and its bohemian status, attracting noble people from around the kingdom. By 1500 the former luxurious city was abandoned and the water levels flooded the city, drowning the ancient remnants. Today the ancient city remains are ‘partying’ 20 feet below the surface.

Jal Mahal, India

The water palace of Jaipur located in the Man Sagar Lake is a real jewel of the Rajput architecture style. The palace is at least 300 hundred years old and it was flooded by a dam that was built afterwards. The first four floors of the palace are completely flooded and when the water levels are the highest, the only thing you can see is the rooftop. This palace is open for visitors and it looks even more glamorous at night.

Dwarka, Gulf of Cambay, India

This city was supposedly the ancient home of Lord Krishna and was once considered to be a myth. However, the ruins discovered in the 2000s prove that this city wasn’t only an Indian tale. The ruins are located 130 feet beneath the ocean surface. Dwarka is considered as one of the seven oldest cities of India. Artifacts taken out from the ruin have amazed archaeologists, as the oldest architect found dates to 7500 BCE.

Curon Venosta, Italy

The city of Curon is located beneath the Recia Lake near the border of Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. Curon was flooded after WW2 after a building of a dam went wrong. The only thing that left on the surface is the bell tower of the biggest church in Curon. The lake freezes in winter and you can literally walk to the tower, knowing that there’s an entire city below your feet. What’s even more interesting, people claim that they still occasionally hear the bell ring from the tower. The issue with this is that the bell was removed 30 years ago.

Vilarinho da Furna, Portugal

This was one of the oldest villages in Portugal before being intentionally flooded during the dam construction. The village which was flooded in 1972 has been around since the early days of the Roman Empire. The land leftovers still belong to the descendants of the owner of the only surviving house. Unfortunately for them, their property is useless as it’s underwater throughout most of the year.

The Yonaguni Pyramid, Japan

The Pyramids of Yonaguni are certainly one of the most amazing sights in the world. First of all, it’s confusing how did the Egyptian mythological symbol of such size ended up just next to the Japanese coast. What’s even more interesting is scientists keep debating whether the monument was man-made or it was a natural occurrence, with both sides not providing enough evidence. Both sides agree on one fact though: the pyramid is older than 12,000 years.

Bonus: Mauritia

This one isn’t really a city, but rather a whole continent. Some scientists in the past claimed that there used to be a piece of land connecting the Indian subcontinent to Mauritius and Madagascar. And there have been proofs about this claim in the recently. This huge piece of land was swallowed into the sea during massive movements of land across the surface of the Earth. But according to scientists, this wouldn’t have been the best place to live. Mauritia was covered in volcanoes and there would have been regular earthquakes.

It’s amazing how most of these cities used to be so historically important, and today most people don’t even know about them. The game of history is fascinating indeed.
