OK, so anyone familiar with the NY post should know to take everything there with a grain of salt. In this case, the illustrations of greek-style ruins underwater are completely unrelated to the actual article. The scientist found no archeological remains, and are postulating about the populations that the area might have been able to support based on geographical evidence. The time frame of human occupancy is well before the Greek civilization. Just nonsense.
NYPost is a rather disreputable, heavily biased tabloid, and I don't feel it's an appropriate source for ~humanities.history articles. I have changed the link to: Ancient Sahul's submerged...
NYPost is a rather disreputable, heavily biased tabloid, and I don't feel it's an appropriate source for ~humanities.history articles. So do you mind if I change the link to something far more reputable, like Phys.org's article on the same study? I have changed the link to:
This is really nothing new either, Sahul (the paleocontinent with a land bridge between Australia and New Guinea) has been known / hypothesized about for quite some time....

Obviously this is Atlantis! /j But I hadn't really thought about under sea archeology before. And despite this being the post, I'm intrigued to go find more

There's a lot of really interesting marine archeology out there. Parts of ancient Alexandria are submerged, and generally there are just a lot of human artifacts beneath the Mediterranean from different ancient periods. You might also be interested in Doggerland, submerged land that once connected the European continent with what is now the UK and has turned up some archeological finds.
Much appreciated! I don't know why in all my random deep dives this isn't one that had come up! But it's super cool to think about how long humans have been on this planet.

The actual scientific article is interesting enough, no need for the made-up Atlantis angle.
I was hoping someone would clarify the situation. Thanks!

Thanks. I was hoping a better source would be found. I don't love the NYPost.
