Appreciation of underwater archaeological photography in Greece

The earth has existed in this universe for as long as 4.6 billion years, and as the only one on the earth that dominates modern human beings, we have a history of less than 400 years. Although the level of human science and technology has made great progress in the past one or two hundred years, we can launch various detectors into space to explore the mysteries of the universe, but there are still many places that are difficult to explore for the earth we live in at present. For example, some deserts, barren hills and the seabed have been one of the dead ends of human archaeology until now!

For a long time, there have been legends about the mysterious kingdom under the sea in many parts of the world. For example, some ancient books in ancient Greece and Rome have introduced that there is a powerful Atlantis civilization hidden under the Pacific Ocean. In addition, in the myths and legends of Mayans in Southeast Asia and Central America, it is believed that there is a highly civilized kingdom "Mu Continent" that sinks into the vast Pacific Ocean. At first, people didn't agree with these strange and unreasonable ancient legends. However, after modern times, with the rise of underwater archaeology, ancient underwater buildings have been discovered in the seabed of Japan, India and Portugal, which has set off an upsurge of discussion on "underwater civilization" in the archaeological community!

More than a decade ago, a well-known satellite map company in the United States inadvertently detected the existence of a super-long "Great Submarine Wall" at the bottom of the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska. According to the image analysis, this long undersea building is126km long and looks like ancient Qin Changcheng in China. The only difference is that it is "square", with all sides flat and extremely regular. Not only can it not be formed naturally, but it is even better than the Great Wall built on land!

As soon as this picture came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the archaeological community. Some people think that this is only a defect of satellite imaging technology, but after inspection by NASA scientists, there is no imaging technology problem in this image. Therefore, many scholars believe that this great undersea wall was probably built by prehistoric people. There is a legend in the far east. Tens of thousands of primitive people from Russia's Chukchi Peninsula moved to Alaska, USA, which is estimated to be related to this great undersea wall. At that time, the building was still on land and sank to the bottom of the sea due to the earthquake! Anyway, this image of the "Great Wall" is still controversial!
