The World's Mysterious Underwater Kingdoms That Have Been Lost to Time 

Kids these days don't know the meaning of "Flex"!

I remember this story. I didn’t remember his name. People are still just as weird as they ever were.

@@whereswaldo5740 caligula’s got a claim for top 5% weirdness in human history

@@Ntwolf1220 you'd be weird too if you were imprisoned and raises by your captor and Seen your family executed while a kid.

@@dudepool7530 bruh straight up facts😅 this dude created the definition of the word “Flex” and did it in such a fashion that no one will ever top it. Go ahead and try lmao.

So kind, many thanks & kind regards.

Appreciated ,Thank you !

@Gerald H you could argue that the yonagumi stone piece is the remnant of the foundation for a planned pagoda or castle, lighthouse even for yonaguni island proper when it was above water.

Port Royal was a hell of a good time if you know some of the stories. Damn shame what happened to it,

@Gerald H bruh its apart of the island so by geology rising both so both are above water why yes it would vaguely resemble what a person can make in a week no less

@Gerald H bruh do you even model any earth it's easy to do harder with tectonics but you can model any object on earth and the greater universe you are the 1 living in delusions with your year round chemtrails fourth of july shenanigans also please dont associate me with conspiracy theorists there nice to troll once or twice a year but I do actually use scientific principles to concept new tech.

Havana was always the biggest city in the Caribbean!

You’re not going to be happy with his other channels.

This is incorrect. You got some details right but misplaced everything else. There was no “kingdom of Minoa.” There was a Minoan civilization but we don’t actually know what they called themselves, only what later greeks called them. Regardless I’ve never heard of them being referred to as “the kingdom of Minoa” in any archeological or historical context, only as the Minoans or the Minoan civilization. And similar to the later Greeks, they were likely a bunch of City-states with similar culture rather than being one unified kingdom. Though it’s possible it may have been unified for some small part of its history. The city that sunk was on the island of Thera, near Crete. (Modern day Santorini). It was a Minoan settlement, not the entire civilization. The settlement was known as Akrotiri. And it was mostly destroyed by the eruption + landslide + tsunami. The Minoan civilization was MOSTLY based in Crete, not on Thera, so most of the Minoans survived the eruption and the tsunami following it. It happened around 1600 B.C, not 2000 B.C. Also the thing that likely inspired the Minotaur’s labyrinth was the palace at Knossos, the Minoan capital city set in Crete, not the settlement of Akrotini on Thera. Also unrelated but: the Minoan civilization continued to have a presence in the Mediterranean even for about a century after the Thera eruption. Most likely the eruption + tsunami destroyed a bunch of their coastline which would have still cost a lot to repair, followed by the ash in the atmosphere causing colder climate and thus disrupting crop growth in the area, leading people to leave Crete for other places or die of hunger. So the civilization more or less fizzled out rather than having some kind of specific dramatic ending.

@@Zeke1460 if I can add to what you wrote. You're correct, we actually don't know what they called themselves, we call them Minoans because their king was named King Minos. Bettany Hughes did a really interesting documentary about them that I believe you can find here on RU-vid.

@@maxximus91 King Minos is a pseudo-historical figure. He may or may not have ever existed. Also we don’t usually refer to places by who rules them, otherwise we’d call Spartans “Leonidians” and Romans “Caesarians. Or “Augustans.” We only do so with the Minoans because we don’t know what they called themselves and we can’t translate their language, sadly. The name is very likely to change if we do figure it out though. I really wish we could. We have a decent few tablets left behind from them. I’m surprised that AI-based language detection or cypher cracking tech hasn’t been able to provide any leads.

Did you know the greek labyrinth was inspired by Amenenhat II's underground temple also known as temple of heliopolis with crocodiles wandering it

@@Zeke1460 that's not completely true about the Minoan written languages. The Minoans had several different writing systems used during there time the most famous and connected to the height of the Minoan civilization known as the palace period is what we now call linear A but 4 different written languages have been found and connected to the Minoan with 3 found on Crete and one on Cyprus that appears to be derived from linear A. Of the three written languages found on Crete used by the Minoans only Cretan hieroglyphs is completely unknown, While on the other end Linear B has for the most part been completely translated it is also the most recent of the written languages found at Knossos. The written Language you are probably thinking of is linear A which is for the most part unknown however its numerical system is generally agreed to be known. There is a misunderstanding sadly about linear A and B because they are wrongly disconnected and placed only in either the Minoan or Mycenaean but that is not the case both linear A and B have been found in both Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations. This mistake most likely comes from the fact that linear B was translated from texted found at Mycenaean and is used in Mycenaean Greek the oldest form of Greek. But it has also been found in Knossos in fact it appears from the evidence found more people wrote in linear B on Crete then in Pylos the center of the Mycenaean civilization. The issue is it is often used in things like administrative texts about things like goods and military issues instead of texts about say philosophy.

You'd think that after 5000 years we'd learn to stop building cities on the coast.

Over half the worlds population is within 10km of the coast

A lot of ‘lost cities’ disappeared beneath the waves due to earthquakes or costal erosion; others just never existed. I hope that, one day, no one finds Ry’leh!

@@WorldWalker128 We'll probably keep building there since coastal population areas are centers of trade between nations, especially since we didn't have planes before and had to travel by sea.

Where there a lot of cities 5000 years ago? Maybe we have a lot of underwater villages.

She convinced Alexander to burn the city Because he couldn't build shit just conquer and destroy

ive been there :)

why should u be grateful? are u a slave? u know about western history, so it should be demanded that western ppl also learn about indian history. colonialism = one sided relationships are past tense.

A lot of videos exist on that already. Drain the seas has one. Extreme diving has one. It's just an impressive looking natural formation at the end of the day.

I am with you there

Stop listening to crackpots like Graham Hancock. There is no conspiracy regarding this.

Agreed

@Gerald H Yeah, I was watching a National Geographic show involving it, they did an okay job covering the various theories and poking holes in 'em It does look effing COOL though! As for geometric shapes in nature, I mean... basalt hexagonal columns, anyone?

Have you literally been living under a rock 😆 its mentioned in most Atlantis stories since it was first discovered, its even been muted as its possible location.

@Gerald H Exactly. The whole story is bullshit.

@@leightonlambeth4899 uh no. It's in the Pacific, not the Atlantic. First, Atlantis never existed, but secondly, saying the Yonagumi Monument is Atlantis makes zero logical sense, being if Plato knew of a real place called Atlantis that were at war with Athens, there is no way anyone from the Greek World would know about a supposed monument off the coast of Japan, let alone having naval access to the Aegean. Again, Atlantis never existed, it is fiction. And just an aside, the word is mooted, not muted, pedantic I know, but they mean two completely different things.

@@leightonlambeth4899 you can always identify conspiracy pushing trolls because they do enjoy insulting people immediately. Like what you did.

In the shade?

😂 hilarious

Giants causeway is the same. But it's definitely natural.

Yes, natural right angles can form in rock if you've got two materials of different densities. The less dense material can erode while the harder material erodes away much more slowly. Niagara falls is a good example of this, as much of the falls experiences rapid erosion except for the enormous amount of jagged, hard boulders resting at the base of the falls. While it's not certain that this is what's happening at Yonaguni, it's not unheard of. There are also volcanic formations of hexagonal rock columns that have clear angles and edges.

Right angles and flat surfaces like that are actually not that uncommon. It's something that results from many causes. I used to work in the field. It fascinates me that people think it's so rare. Even where I live there are many places people can visit that show it. When the experts are saying something we should listen to them (I wouldn't consider myself one)

Well obviously they want their own people to recover artifacts that they can then sell on the black market without the rest of the world knowing, and recover and melt down their gold, silver etc artifacts and melt them down for money, too.

Other than religious & historical significance to Indian culture. The Arabian Sea where it’s located is rough & extremely dangerous during certain times of the year which has costed some life of people “exploring”or trying to loot. I see Simon is sticking to his British colonialism on other cultures history on this.

@@marqsee7948 not really it's simply a lack of funding and technology. In India archeology is a very poorly funded field, and we don't have the fancy tech that the western archeologists enjoy. Besides why would BJP feel threatened by any expedition in the sunken Dwarka, the archaeologists that dated the city site be just as old as the "myth", and also it exists exactly in the place that the "myth" described it to be.

​@Marq See wow, that is one comment loaded with ignorance! Archeological department in India is very underfunded to do such expensive projects is actually a major reason. And if we have to go with your stupid logic, then BJP government would actually increase funding and speed up research as it is related to Hindu myths.

This is probably true, except for Atlantis that was a mountain capital

Generally subsidence by the earthquake that caused the tsunami.

@@sydhenderson6753 did not realize that was a thing, but apparently it is. quake, wave, sink. Bad deal.

Atlantis is not currently below water. seek and learn.

Wasn't Lemuria made up by a guy in the 19th century? And wasn't in the Indian Ocean?

Landfills

The Mars Rovers.

probably nothing will be left in 1500 years because we tear shit down and rebuild it. Never meaning it to last indefinitely.

Or by the Atlantians that live within the core of Earth?

Deploying Jewish space laser in 3...2...1...

Horizontals are layers of sediment, verticals have been explained as fractures from earthquakes. Not "definite" and hard to explain either way.

Ever heard of the Giants Causeway.

Have you seen his new channel hosted by Daven? He let one of the workers out of the Blazement to further his empire

Lol dream on

Lmfao how

What was there, now resides below ground in the Vatican Vaults. They've said so.

old egypt had ties with india. in india the nalanda university was burned by invading muslims since it was a kaffir library. and this university with thousands of books burned for months. i think the story reached egypt. the indian university nalanda had students from all over the world.
