The island in question was called Cyanida (or Kianida), and is featured on maps from the 15th century based on “Geography" (also known as “Geographia" or the “Cosmographia"), a work written ca. 150 AD by 2nd century AD Greco-Roman geographer Claudius Ptolemy. These include maps published in 1467 in the Reichenbach Monastery (today in Southern Germany) such as Ptolemy’s 9th European Map (Nona Europae Tabula) (featuring Dacia (Datia), Thrace (Thracia), and Upper and Lower Moesia) and Ptolemy’s 1st Asian Map (Tabula Asiae I), depicting Asia Minor / Anatolia. (The maps in question are part of the collection of the National Library in Warsaw, Poland.)... the Cyanida / Kianida island off Bulgaria’s coast in the Black Sea does not appear on maps after the 15th century, the conclusion is that it sank at least 500 years ago... might have been about the size of the island of Thasos, Greece, in the Aegean size – which is approximately 380 square kilometers making it Greece’s 12th largest island.

A current nautical chart where the soundings are in meters, shows a couple of prominences roughly 75 meters below the surface in the area depicted. If a volcano once existed there it would have been a big boom to “sink” it to that depth today. (I did not look for any volcanic activity in that area though.) I would imagine that such a big boom would have made some historical record or mention.
Thanks, SunkenCiv!
Ah, but it could have capsized before it sank! When a scientist like Hank Johnson says something, the science is settled.
Blacklantis.
Yep, what a puke faced MoFo that dude is.
Is he related to Iva Biggun?
Global warming?
Yeah, a lot of agenda in an island sliding off into the drink. The only one with an agenda is you, you troll.
It appears to be an ESL problem, whichi is not the first time that has happened with this source, but there’s a lot of great archaeology and history activity going on there. :^)
Robert Ballard planned to look for ancient wrecks below the anoxia layer and also helped out with Ryan and Pitman’s “Black Sea Flood” search.

Probably a landslide, but undersea landslides are known to have been triggered by quakes.

Turkey gets enough of ‘em, that’s for sure. Shouldn’t be too surprised if an island went into the deep thanks to an undersea quake.
Given its size, the island must have had a good-sized population, which could very well have had no warning when the basement strata liquified and sploosh!
