How come sundaland didn't reappear when things cooled down and all those other shorelines expanded?

Because there hasn't been another ice age yet to tie up all that ocean water in the form of ice and snow. We're still in the interglacial period, though probably in the last bit of it.

Uh, OK, makes sense.

(But)

Point was that in one paragaph a land mass was still submerged and in another the shores of facing land masses had expanded (due to lower water levels - or?)

Wrong?
