Australian researcher Karen Mutton has compiled the world's most extensive list of sunken cities and megalithic underwater sites currently known around the world. She begins by discussing some of the causes for sunken ruins: super-floods; volcanoes; earthquakes at the end of the last flood; plate tectonics and other theories. She then discusses Plato's Atlantis and the various areas of the Mediterranean and Atlantic that have been proposed as the location. From there she launches into a worldwide cataloging of underwater ruins by region. She begins with the many underwater cities in the Mediterranean, and then moves into northern Europe and the North Atlantic. She continues with chapters on the Caribbean and then moves through the extensive sites in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. The final chapters are on ruins and structures in lakes and inland seas plus a brief look at modern and medieval sunken ruins. Comes with plenty of maps, illustrations and rare photos. Places covered in this book include: Tartessos; Cadiz; Morocco; Alexandria; The Bay of Naples; Libya; Phoenician and Egyptian sites; Roman era sites; Yarmuta, Lebanon; Cyprus; Malta; Thule & Hyperborea; Celtic Realms Lyonesse, Ys, and Hy Brasil; Carnac, Brittany; Isle of Wight; Canaries and Azores; Bahamas; Cuba; Bermuda; Mexico; Peru; Micronesia; California; Japan; Indian Ocean; Sri Lanka Land Bridge; India; Sumer; and inland lakes in Scotland, Russia, Iran, China, Lake Titicaca, Wisconsin, Florida and more. A unique and fascinating book!

An excellent review of sunken history,

This review is from: Sunken Realms: A Survey of Underwater Ruins from Around the World (Paperback)
Ms. Mutton had clearly done her homework as she prepared her review of the world's sunken ruins. This is a straight-forward survey of the various buildings, roadways, and cities which now exist underwater. She is using the work of others, but given the scope of her review, that is quite acceptable. These ruins are grouped by location, and to a lesser extent, by type. A clear picture emerges from her work -- much of our past is now under the sea, and comparitavely little has been done to recover that past. To the extent that our "wet" history might contradict prevailing theories, this may be deliberate. Thanks to Ms. Mutton for her effort to bring the scope of this phenomenon to our attention.

Review of the Ocean's Lost Cities,

This review is from: Sunken Realms: A Survey of Underwater Ruins from Around the World (Paperback)
Being that mankind, especially in ancient times, liked to live along the coasts, it is not odd that this is where we find countless lost cities. This should be a warning to those who live on coasts now: You are at high risk for catrastrophic flooding caused by earthquakes, impact events, etc. See also The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes: How a Stone-Age Comet Changed the Course of World Culture.
The author catalogs just about every site and theory from around the world (surprisingly no discussion of Hapgood). Sometimes it comes off too much like an encyclopedia and not enough depth, but there's a lot of interesting nuggets in here. Especially if you're interested in exploring for these ruins. There are times when she refers to maps or photos that don't exist in the book. Good book for those of you obbsessed with Atlantis or Lemuria. See also The Lost Civilization of Lemuria: The Rise and Fall of the Worlds Oldest Culture, Lost Cities of Ancient Lemuria and the Pacific and Lost Cities of Atlantis, Ancient Europe & the Mediterranean.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A top pick and fascinating read for those who find them fascinated by the untold stories of history,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunken Realms: A Survey of Underwater Ruins from Around the World (Paperback)
Whole cities submerged leave much for the mind to wonder about. "Sunken Realms: A Survey of Underwater Ruins from Around the World" discusses these unique sites that would have been lost to the tides of history if not for science's exploration of the ocean floor. Examining sites throughout Africa, Europe, and Asia, as well as the potential true existence of an Atlantis, "Sunken Realms" is a top pick and fascinating read for those who find them fascinated by the untold stories of history.
