Water levels have been rising since the last glacial period started ending, about 20,000 years ago. We've been cycling in and out of ice ages for the last few million years.

I don't understand.

Right next to the Underwater Basket Weaving School.
Uh Oh... This is heresy, this means stone age man were more than hunter gathers and could FLOAT! When are the hard heads going to take down the firewall and start being objective about possibilities. I am surprised they haven’t already discredited this and called it a religious temple instead, just to prevent the concept that stone age man could float. I think the Scandinavians were also floating even before this.
This is a very significant find here.
Sunken Civ found another Sunken Civilization. :)
It's just Nice that this discovery wasn't of diamond-hard blue apples on the Moon.
To the landlubber scholars, ancient people only moved overland, and when the ice melted and water covered up various isthmuses (isthmi?), they stood on each side of the strait saying "oh shucks", y'know, in cave language.
I’m still trying to figure out where this stigma may have originated. Deep set fear of water based on ancient religious ideology? Such as Hammurabi casting the accused into the water to determine innocence or guilt, sink guilty/float innocent? Or the account of Jesus walking on water in the bible creating the assumption that no one knew how to swim before that time? I wonder where the assumption that early man could never have floated truly originate?
Besides these, I recall a couple more, one on the east coast I think, another on the southern coast. Couldn’t find ‘em because I can’t quite remember them.

There are probably tens of thousands of sites like these underwater somewhere. The oceans were almost 400 feet below current sea levels then.
People have always used beaches and inlets as food sources. Many people lived on the shore. The shores of those times are many miles out to sea in our time.
I’d be fascinated by our own continent’s off shore discoveries. If people had boats to settle Australia 50,000 years ago, they had boats to travel down North America’s Pacific coast.
Because, the ability to go places by water destroys the nice, orderly, slow, gradual, Replacement racial superiority model for the human settlement of the Earth. It may also speak to a deep-seated insecurity in the home of Chuck Darwin (he's a distant cousin, btw) about the fallacy of insularity. Everyone in Britain is descended from someone who arrived by boat, IOW, isolationist dogma (in the US, it takes the form of Clovis-First-and-Only) is invalid.
It fits... Something else I have considered was that since anthropology and archaeology was born of the English like you mention, their narrative was still controlled and limited by the Church so there is a deep set and lasting religious assumption that everyone before them were all just ignorant pagan brutes without the intelligence to be anymore than just grunting animals. This is still believed by many of blind faith even now.
The underwater pyramids in Cuba have me fascinated. I wish they would allow this to be explored further. This site would have been from before the gulf was flooded. This would be a timeline that is considered impossible by the current official narrative.

“... cycling in and out of ice ages for the last few million years....”
as per the definition of the Quaternary Period.

Well, if they were building them out of stone, of course they sank.
underwater construction undoubtedly contributed to the dearth of viable boats from that age that can be found.
Probably the effin' Atlantean invasion staging area.
It hasn’t been that long (30 years???) that the archaeologists put that together with regard to the rising ocean levels, and have shifted their search to offshore.
Or perhaps they figured it out awhile ago, but now have cheaper ways of exploring the ocean floors.
A bit of both. It used to be ignored or wasn't considered, then was done obliquely (the Cosquer Cave in France, the entrance has been underwater since the glaciers went), and now, the technology has become both better (unmanned, they can go deeper, and there's no problem with shortened stays the deeper it goes, as with a human diver) and cheaper.
