It was probably originally a fish trap to trap fish when the tide came in and went out. But the sea level would have still needed to be lower for it to work.
Hmmmm. A submerged bridge. Those nasty cavemen that invented fire caused the first glowbull warming. Just look what they did. Our turn is next.
OR-—IT SUNK DUE TO A SEVERE EARTHQUAKE
to get to the other side.
Yes, land masses rise and sink due to earthquakes.
There is a part of Kingston, Jamaica that sunk in 1692. This was part of the city where the PIRATES of the Caribbean used as a base in the 1600s. The 1692 earthquake sunk Port Royal.
ARRRR!
what kind of SUVs did they drive ?
Roman motorized chariots.
Neither. Thats where they built it. In a flooded cave, underwater.
Without knowing the direction it runs (parallel with or perpendicular to the coast) there’s no basis to say that. The Romans used artificial pools that would accumulate fish during high tide and strand them in low tide, and some of those are still visible. The method antedates the Romans.
The ones in Crete, contrary to claims, are not a good way to measure sealevel change, because the Aegean is known for seismic activity and changes in ground and seabed levels, reports of this go back to antiquity.

Yep, absolutely. Land can sink just as well as sea levels can rise. As you already know. I suspect you are already hip to Sunken Civilizations right?... :)
It’s a bridge. If it were a fish trap, they’d have figured that out.
I made it to Mallorca in the early 60’s, but of course, I missed the bridge.
So you had to swim? ;^)
