Synopsis

Cities Submerged explores the fascinating world of underwater archaeology, diving into the history and science behind cities lost to the sea. The book examines how geological events, like earthquakes and tsunamis, and environmental changes submerged coastal settlements, offering vital lessons for our current climate crisis. Marine archaeology uncovers the secrets of these lost metropolises, revealing insights into past civilizations and their interactions with a changing environment.

 
The book uniquely blends Earth Sciences, Geography, and History to examine submerged cities like Port Royal, Pavlopetri, and parts of Alexandria. It details crucial aspects like the geological factors behind inundation and the ingenious coastal adaptations of past societies. Readers will discover how underwater archaeological techniques, like remote sensing and 3D modeling, bring these lost worlds back to life.

 
By understanding how these past societies faced environmental challenges, Cities Submerged offers crucial context for addressing modern coastal vulnerability and sea-level rise. The book guides the reader through foundational concepts of coastal geomorphology and marine archaeology, progressing to specific case studies of vanished harbors and ports. Exploring cultural impacts and adaptations, it culminates in a discussion of the implications for today's coastal communities.

 
Ultimately, Cities Submerged argues that the study of these underwater sites provides invaluable insights into the adaptability, resilience, and vulnerabilities of past societies.

    The Badshah growled once more. He dismissed the men holding the weapons and indicated to a group of men who wore iron claws. At his glance, two of them came near Sambhaji. One of them behind him and one facing him. From his neck to the spine and from his throat to his stomach, the men pulled his skin down as the trumpets and horns started blowing. The men shouted Deen Deen! Skin peeled off Sambhaji's back, neck, chest and stomach. His whole body was a bloodied mess.
    But Sambhaji did not allow his voice to be heard by anyone present. He did not scream or shout. Clenching his teeth he bore the intense and almost unbearable pain. His body, now red with blood, shivered from head to toe. Like the milk which gathers at the base of the Shivalinga, his blood gathered at his feet. Aurangzeb laughed hysterically, seeing Sambhaji's body now peeled like the way a butcher skins a goat.
