One of these submerged cities is in Spain, at Isla Cristina, Huelva. It's a Roman city 8 meters deep in the sea submerged by a tsunami product of a earthquake or maybe by the changes of the shore. But the ancient site is threatened by time and thieves and plunderers.
Another rising city is located in Mexico. Actually it is a church from the 16th century, abandoned in the 18th century. It was flooded by the construction of a reservoir, and it is usually covered by 30 metres of water, but during periods of drought, the church came to the surface, showing up that once a civilizated town was placed there.
Another wonderful site is the palace of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra in Alexandria. It was lost for nearly 1.600 years, submerged by earthquakes (which also destroyed the famous lighthouse of Alexandria). But recently its secrets have been discovered, and an underwater museum is planning to show the wonders of this great place.
