A series of three catastrophic earthquakes occurred in this area around 1000 BC.
Archaeologists have shown footage of the world’s oldest underwater city. It is located on the island of Pavlopetri off the coast of Laconia in the southern Peloponnese in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the most important places in Greek history, according to the Greek Reporter.
The name Pavlopetri means “Stone of Paul”. It is directly connected to the Christian apostles and holy martyrs Peter and Paul, who once spread Christianity by traveling around the world. These events took place in the 1st century AD.
So, the history of the ancient Greek city began more than 5000 years ago. But Nicholas Flemming discovered it in 1967.
Researchers associate Pavlopetri with the Mycenaean period. But they were wrong, because the first settlements appeared in 2800 BC.
It is also known that a series of three catastrophic earthquakes occurred in this area around 1000 BC. Before the disasters, Pavlopetri flourished. It is an important port city.
It is interesting that the nature of the city with an area of more than 46 thousand square meters has remained untouched. Therefore, it is very important for archaeologists. In the city, residential areas, markets, ceramic production cells can be traced.
Remember that early archaeologists found the oldest human remains in the United States.
