Artistic license? Besides i think the whiskers might have been a tad difficult given the medium.

We'll just chalk it up to ancient aliens then

I wonder what caused it to be below ocean's surface? Major natural disaster?

Awesome find! S&F

Edit: nvm...volcanic activity and water displacement theory...interesting....

Inflation and deflation of Campei Flegrei super volcano. If we include medieval settlements, there are at least 4 lost settlements (including Baiae) in the Bay of Naples.

Global warming that raised the ocean or the untimely earth change...I don't like either

a reply to: chrismarco

If ocean levels rose we could see that in the record. I think this was caused by the volcano.

Change is constant.

Fantastic find thanks for the information.

Nice find Seasonal, the mosaic seems like yesterday and the fish swimming around the ruins surreal , wine soaked party town sounds a lot like Port Royal, the richest wickedest city in the western hemisphere , due west of Sodom and Gomorrah as the crows fly.

It won't be there long. The dive depth seems very shallow and I can imagine that many many treasure hunters are going to start to take artifacts.
Would make a good nat-geo doc.
For some reason I like the Romans style of bright and open architecture. I mean the rich Roman architecture, the poor's homes not so much.

As the video states, those luxury villas were the equivalent of millionaires row. Someone wealthy, working in government, had a countryside retreat with swimming pools, central heating, but no windows. They only needed 10% of the population to run government, and even then they only did a half days work.

It's just an abstract pattern. Funny that it has a cross in it, but that was a symbol long predating Christianity. www.jstor.org... Most likely used in decoration from Greek influence.

Shelley refers to the underwater ruins of Biaie in Ode to the West Wind.
