Part 3/13:
Survivors of that cataclysm likely carried fragments of this knowledge, but over millennia, it was gradually lost, along with evidence of their advanced engineering skills. The combination of natural disasters, rising sea levels, and environmental upheaval would have rapidly obliterated coastal sites and any artifacts associated with these ancient masters of stone and technology.
The Impact of Sea Level Rise and Geological Transformation
Sea level rise played a critical role in erasing ancient coastal civilizations. As Rand, a researcher involved in this discourse, explains, a rapid increase—three to four times faster than modern rates—created highly energetic zones that pounded coastal areas, destroying artifacts and settlements, and leaving behind a transformed planetary surface.
