I'm choosing the melting glaciers/end of Ice Age as the cause of sinking.
Either that or an earthquake maybe sank the portion of land beneath the waves.
I thought the rise in the level of the Black Sea that broke the dam and formed the Bosporus caused the water level rise in the Med.
Polar shift did all that.
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?
It is, hundreds of them.
Meditraian = Mediterranean
Meditraian ????
I don’t know how I came up with that spelling
Bad even for an engineer.
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...
I thought the flow of water was from the Med into the Black Sea when that happened.
*cough*thegao’uld*cough*
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!
Obesity!
My guess is first a mega tsunami, then the rising sea as the ice age ends covers the site.
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.

Baaaaah, waiting for it, George Bush’s fault!
Indigenious Mediteranian Minorites and children hit worst.
Oh wow! Do you actually get to drive the whole train???
My hero!
