Until 7000 BC, Atlit-Yam was a thriving city. The ancient city had within it, a stunning monument; seven half-tonne stones in a semicircular shape arrangement all located around a spring that provided locals with drinking water.
Unfortunately, the city and its monuments now lie 10 meters below the surface as a result of the city becoming submerged when the sea levels rose considerably. The city’s ruins have been remarkably preserved since they became submerged; it is regarded as the most well-preserved ancient settlement on the seafloor today.
