Part 7/10:
The Human Impact on the Black Sea
The advent of a dramatic sea level rise could have urged the peoples surrounding the Black Sea to migrate, leading to the establishment of new settlements and the development of advanced Neolithic cultures in territories like modern-day Bulgaria and Romania. Archaeological evidence suggests that as much as 100 meters of the ancient landscape were submerged, effectively altering human settlement patterns in the region.
The artifacts retrieved from underwater archaeological excavations indicate a profound human presence before the flood. Pottery, tools, and remnants of past civilizations tell a story of resilience and adaptation in the face of dramatic environmental changes.
