An underwater ancient city? Will this place be used to push global warming, sea levels rising, coastal cities getting flooded, all of that? Will this be used to say that this is our future, unless we get rid of fossil fuels, etc. ???
Okay, I'm willing to give it a taste.
Who else is game?

We started to work within the framework of this Tunisian-Italian archaeological mission in 2010. We were looking for the port and the underwater prospecting here allowed us to recognize other vestiges and especially to have the certainty that Neapolis had really suffered from this earthquake of 365. It is a major discovery because we have written testimonies and there we have archaeological testimonies, which in fact corroborate what was said by the historians of antiquity. So there it is. Very important because often we have written testimonies, but we cannot in fact identify such and such an event with such and such a monument.
The area was under Vandal rule for about a century so maybe they will find some spray-painted graffiti.
Well now we all know: “Tunisia” is a corruption of “tsunami”.
Or maybe IC engines or SUVs are to blame!!
Is the garum edible?
