Sunken City Found Off Of India
Raindeer writes "A city only known from old myths about seven pagodas and thought by Western scientists not have existed, was found off the coast of India. The myths speak of six temples submerged beneath the waves with the seventh temple still standing on the seashore. The myths also state that a large city once stood here which was so beautiful the gods became jealous and sent a flood that swallowed it up entirely in a single day. " With the purported discovery of a city off of Cuba, as well as the the finding of Herakleion underwater archaeology is doing well.
Perhaps they've really found Numenor
IMHO Numenor or Atlantis one is as real as the other
How did it get underwater like this?? Can't be rising sea levels as this was before the industrial revolution, so there wouldn't have been anything to increase temperatures and raise sea levels. So how did this happen?? I'm so confused.
I think his point is that in Europe we are surrounded by Roman artifacts and constructions, so we're pretty well versed on their history. Unlike Americans, many of whom spend $$$$ getting here to view the all the old things. Sure it's an (incorrect) stereotype to say that all Americans are unaware of european history & world, but many are, in my experience. There is also no country (in the "western" world anyway) which I am aware of which is as insular and generally unaware of the outside world as the US.
For the record I'm british but have spent a fair amount of time living, travelling and working in the US.
YMMV, as always

christ was born 2000 years ago,
I think you mean, "There are legends which speak of a person called christ who was born 2000 years ago".
Unless you can provide some evidence for his existence? No, the bible doesn't count.
