DWARKA INDIA : KIRSHNA's GATEWAY TO HEAVEN

UNESCO SITE : UNDERWATER HERITAGE DWARKA 

Is it 5000 years old or 10,000 years old? 

Excerpt: The ancient Indian city of Dwarka is known in Hindu culture to have been the great and beautiful city of Krishna.  The Hindu writings say that when Krishna left the Earth to join the spiritual world, the age of Kali began and Dwarka and its inhabitants were submerged by the sea.

SAVAARI : MYSTERY OF DWARKA

Excerpt: 

According to the Mahabharata’s 23rd and 34th stanzas, the city was inundated and submerged by the Arabian Sea on the same day that Krishna departed the Earth to join the spiritual world after 125 years, and this is when the Kali age began. The ocean’s deity reclaimed the land, sinking lost city of Dwarka but sparing Lord Krishna’s palace. It is also said that lost city of Dwarka was attacked by Vimana, a flying machine.

The description of the fight piques the interest of ancient alien theories, as it appears to imply that it was fought with sophisticated technology and powerful weapons, possibly even from orbit. The spacecraft launched an attack on the city using energy weaponry, which resembled a lightning strike to onlookers, and it was so devastating that much of the city lay in ruins following the attack.

Do not buy sea shells or sea shell products. 

The marine animals who grow shells for self protection

 are also part of a marine ecosystem.

I know the temptation.

 

PAVLOPETRI GREECE : 6000 YEAR OLD MEDITERRANEAN SUNKEN CITY INFORMS US ON HOW THEY LIVED LONG AGO.

PAVLOPETRI GREECE SUNKEN CITY ORG 

Excerpt: A network of pipes lining the streets indicates there was some kind of plumbing, running water, and perhaps a sewage system. The private homes of more affluent families had two stories, seemingly with roof terraces. The town's wealth derived from its weaving and pottery industries, but most of all it was due to its fortunate location on a natural harbor, making it a port of call with all the associated jobs and income - and probably a lively night life too.

Trading ships from Crete stopped here to load and unload wares  As we know from shards of pottery found here, local artisans made a business of imitating the styles and fashions of fashionable Crete, creating affordable copies and keeping the local citizens on the cutting edge of style.

NEOLITHIC FISHING VILLAGE - ATLIT-YAM in ISRAEL : SUNKEN CITY

TIMES OF ISRAEL : ATLIT- YAM SUNKEN CITY

Excerpt: Along Haifa's coast are the remnants of a Neolithic fishing village that drowned 9,000 years ago by the rising water level.  Today, the exceptionally well preserved 40,000 m2 site is located approximately 200-400 m (meters) offshore on the north bay of Atlit, at a depth of 8-11 m below modern sea level.

SUNKEN CITIES PROVE THAT PAST EARTH CHANGES INCLUDED A RISE IN SEA WATER LEVELS

Although I haven't covered this subject here at SIREN'S LINK TO SEA, it's part of our exploration of earth changes - climate and the oceans, the possible rise of sea levels. 

DAILY MAIL SCIENCE : SCIENTISTS STUDY 7000 YEAR OLD CITY Excellent photos too!

Excerpts:  The city, known as Soline, was built on an artificial landmass by the ancient Hvar culture - but began to slowly sink off the coast of what is now Croatia as sea levels rose with the melting glaciers of the last Ice Age, starting around 12,000 BC.

...

Past explorations of its waters have dredged up Roman artifacts, a 2,200 year old shipwreck and another Hvar settlement in nearby Gradina Bay, 15feet below sea level and 'almost identical to the Soline settlement," according to the University of Zadar.

...

Their future work over the next few years will map both the Adriatic and North Sea, as they were between 10,000 and 24,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were around 300 feet lower than they are today.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO BE AN OCEAN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST?

It's my hope that when a reader finds SIRENS LINK TO SEA, that person will find something - or everything interesting.  My blog is an opportunity for you to gain knowledge about our ocean environment - still so full of mysteries - and to think about what you may be able to do in order to show respect for our beaches, waters, and all the creatures who live in the ocean environment.  

To me, this is far more important than going to Mars. We must take good care of this planet we live on.  We are part of the life and death of it.

Perhaps for you it's as simple as being part of a beach cleanup or to do more to recycle or ending your use of plastic bottled water. Or perhaps you'll join a group of activists who rally for the marine animals who face extinction or study to become an oceanographer or marine biologist.  You may take part of a whale count during migration times or talk in front of a class about tides and sea shells.  Maybe you'll become a deep sea diver or go on to study Antarctica. 

If SIRENS LINK TO SEA INSPIRES YOU IN ANY WAY, PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT!

DEEPEST SWIMMING POOLS IN THE WORLD! : NEMO 33 is 33 METERS DEEP (WOULD YOU DARE TO GO THAT FAR DOWN?)

NEMO 33 held the record for some time and it exists in Brussels, Belgium.  Pools like this are architectural achievements and provide thrill-seekers who dive or freedive (no oxygen equipment) an opportunity to experience a strange water environment, which, unlike a lake or ocean is free of marine animals and other hazards.  It could still be very scary. People from all over the world go to experience the pool. Some to experience what it is to have so much water above you. Some to practice for deep sea dives.  Unlike the ocean water, Nemo 33 water is warm and considered tropical, and the water is non-chlorinated fresh water.  It held the Guinness World Record as the deepest indoor pool in the world from 2004 for about a decade.

According to various web sites on water pressure, at 33 feet down deep in the ocean there is a total pressure of 29.4 pounds per square inch being exerted on a body.  Adjustments to oxygen are needed. But in water man can experience weightlessness.
