I'm choosing the melting glaciers/end of Ice Age as the cause of sinking.
If a rise in sea level was cause, should not the Meditraian be littered with such underwater settlements? Would we not expect every river/shoreline have at least one?
I’m postulating that it sank along with the ancient continents of Atlantis and Lemuria right after their thermonuclear exchange that wiped out both populations.
Or Orca Winfrey was swimming nearby...

There are not enough polar shift threads.
"So what did cause the village to flood? Galili argued that the flooding was caused by a slow rise in the level of the Mediterranean that led to a gradual evacuation of the village. He believes that changes in the climate about 8,000 years ago, which caused glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise, were responsible. "The flooding occurred as the result of the melting of the glaciers, as is happening today," he said."
What? Impossible !
Surely climate change is exclusively the result of the SUV and the affluence of American freedom and capitalism only. < / sarcasm >
Smokers!
5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earthmen and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the airfor I am grieved that I have made them.
It was the aliens, just ask tom cruise.

A settlement (from the mainland, as determined by analysis of their rubbish containing bones from their food animals) on Cyprus also ended kinda sudden like about 8000 years ago.
