NASA REVEALS GLOBAL SEA LEVELS ROSE BY UNEXEPECTED HIGHER LEVELS : HUNDREDS OF CITIES MAY BE OVERWHELMED

DAILY MAIL : NASA ...GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH AMOUNT 

The rise we saw in 2024 was higher than we expected,' said Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

'Every year is a little bit different, but what's clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster.'

Since 1993, global sea levels have risen by a staggering 3.97-inches (10.1cm).

And if they continue to climb at this rate, hundreds of densely populated cities around the world could be plunged underwater. Excerpt: According to NASA, this 'unexpected' increase was due to an unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers.

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.

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.
