Who puts all that water on top of a castle?

It’s a dangerous area. Eastern Turkey, near the Iran, Iraq, Armenia and Syrian borders...................

Yes, this will be cited as evidence of global warming and rising sea levels centuries ago. And will be used to say that we may see New York under water like this someday.

They make it sound as if the whole east coast will suddenly be under water in a day. It would actually take hundreds of years. Plenty of time to move inland as the sea reclaimed its domain...................

I don’t understand your problem with the excerpt regarding the sunken Russian ship?

Comparing the three groups afterwards, academics found that those who had spent the previous nine minutes watching the goings-on at Bikini Bottom were immediately shown to be “significantly impared in executive function”.

>>>

Parents should know that children who have just watched SpongeBob SquarePants, or shows like it, might become compromised in their ability to learn and behave with self-control.

I don't think I even need to highlight what could be the problem here.

I haven't seen this show in many years, and never thought of it as a children's cartoon.

Now, back to the topic, maybe this castle was the original Krusty Krab.

Twas but a joke at the expense of the author who decided that injecting an unrelated find was relevant to the story of the discovery of a civilization buried beneath the waves.

For anyone who is interested:

"The Saint Louis Art Museum next year will present “Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds,” the exhibition showcasing finds from underwater archaeological expeditions of Franck Goddio and his team off the coast of Egypt in the sunken cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus. The North American premiere of “Sunken Cities” will be the most significant exhibition of ancient Egyptian art undertaken in St. Louis in more than 50 years."

Here's a link to the Museum announcing the exhibit:

Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds, March 25 - September 9, 2018"

I live in NY State, but my son lives outside of Indianapolis, which is about 3-4 hours away from St. Louis. I'm planning on visiting him sometime during the exhibit's six-month stay, and hopefully will be able to see this collection.

The exhibit will be visiting other cities in the U.S. as well, but at this point, I don't know which other places it will be going to.

Ask Congressman Hank Johnson, he'll tell you it might have just tipped over.

The ship find is intriguing.

The lake is at 5300 ft elevation and has no inlet or outlet (it fills from runoff from surrounding mountains).

How did a Russian ship get there? Why?

Wiki:
Urartu (Armenian: ), also known as Kingdom of Van... was an Iron Age kingdom centred on Lake Van in the Armenian Highlands.
It corresponds to the biblical Kingdom of Ararat.
... Urartu re-emerged in Assyrian inscriptions in the 9th century BC as a powerful northern rival of Assyria,
