Greece
A massive underwater city has been found off the Peloponnese coast in southern Greece.
The city was first spotted in 2014 but divers have only properly surveyed the site, taken samples and mapped the area over the last two months.
Dating to at least 2500 BC, well into the Bronze Age, the city is absolutely huge for its day, stretching over at least 12 acres. That’s the size of about ten football pitches. The site was heavily fortified with an outer wall and predates the earliest mainland Greek culture of the Mycenaeans by a thousand years.
So far 6,000 objects have been found and the site has been dubbed an “archaeologists paradise”.
The importance of this site hasn’t been realised yet, because there is no doubt the history books will be changed.
