They realized that people had rebelled and decided to exterminate them. Thousands of pumas left the cave and devoured people who asked for help from the devil. But the devil remained deaf to their requests. Seeing this, Inti, the sun goddess, began to cry. Her tears were so profuse that after 40 days the valley was flooded.
This is the Inca legend about Lake Titicaca
There is an anthropological hypothesis that prehistoric mankind had a high degree of development. Several finds suggest that ancient humans possessed much more advanced technology than we might assume. This idea is supported by the discovery of dozens of sunken cities around the planet.
Amazing incidents such as the Yonaguni structures off the coast of Japan or the sunken Mega City accidentally discovered off northeastern Cuba continue to offer scientists clues to what is perceived as geographic mythology - legends such as Atlantis, Mu or Thulium. Every few years, sunken finds add to the base to support the prehistoric empire hypothesis.
Urban architecture in an incredible era
A representative example of the ruins described above was found in the water at a depth of 120 feet in Cambay Bay on the western coast of India. This vast city, found during pollution research, may be 9,500 years old.

Using sound scanning, the scientists were able to detect geometric structures at a depth of approximately 120 feet. At the site, they found building materials, ceramics, wall parts, pools, sculptures, bones and human teeth. Carbon analysis showed these items to be 9,500 years old.
Prior to this discovery, scientists believed that civilization in this region did not begin until 2500 BC. However, this ancient city turned out to be even older than the Harrappan civilization, which was previously considered the oldest on the subcontinent.
Another surprising find was discovered in 1967 when the Aluminaut, an exploration submarine capable of diving deeper than any other submarine, accidentally discovered a "road" along the coast of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Found at a depth of nearly 3,000 feet, this road extended in a straight line over 15 miles.
Even more astounding, this road was paved with complex cement containing aluminum, silicone, calcium, iron and magnesium. Despite its age, the discovered road was free of rubble, thanks to the undercurrent, which kept it clean.
This forgotten road was still usable, as the Aluminaut's special wheels allowed the submarine to literally ride the mysterious highway. Later, scientists at the end of the road found a number of monolithic structures. What technologies were able to build a long road that has been in good condition for 10,000 years?
More recently, in 2004, another find of this kind was made, when a tsunami that struck the coast of Southeast Asia displaced hundreds of tons of sand from the coast of Tamil Nadu, India. The storm cleared away perennial layers of dust, leading to the discovery of the mystical city of Mahabalipuram.
According to local legend, the city of Mahabalipuram experienced a severe flood that destroyed it in one day 1000 years ago due to the fact that the gods began to envy its beauty. Local residents say that six temples were flooded, and part of the seventh remained on land. A team of 25 divers from the Society for Archaeological Research of India explored a vast area between 15 and 25 feet, covered with man-made structures.
The size of the submerged ruins, located more than a mile offshore, is estimated at several hundred square miles. Conservative scientists believe that these structures are 1200-1500 years old. But some researchers believe they may have been built 6,000 years ago.
Yonaguni structures
Considered by some scholars as an archaeological find of the century, the structures accidentally found on the Japanese coast of Yonaguni are examples of ancient architecture in the form of columns, hexagons, stairs, boulevards, galleries and even a stepped pyramid.
While the most conservative scholars believe that the Yonaguni structures are a product of seismic activity in the region, the precise angles of the stones and their placement suggest that the site contains the remains of a sunken city.
This is supported by the chemical composition of the chalk rocks (which do not exist naturally in the region), two formations adjacent to the 6.5-foot deep entry structures that no archaeologist dared to classify as natural formations, and an oval-shaped rock that is not part of the ensemble, but has a clear finish towards the north. The entire sunken city of Yonaguni is estimated to be 10,000 years old.
Marine archeology has only become feasible in the last 50 years with the development of scuba gear. According to marine archaeologist Dr. Nick Fleming, at least 500 submerged sites around the world contain remnants of man-made structures. Some calculations indicate that at least a fifth of them are over 3,000 years old.
Of course, some of these places were destroyed by currents, but some of them found their place at the bottom of the seas, thanks to the movement of tectonic plates. Since many of these structures were built on land, geographically, the Earth could look very different from what we know it today. Those people could be from a much more distant era than the one that we perceive as the dawn of civilization.
So, is our present civilization the crown of humanity, or is it just one small peak among many cycles repeated in the distant past? The answer to this question can be found at the bottom of our oceans.
