More than 3500 years ago, before it disappeared under the waves, Pavlopetri was a thriving town in Greece.
It had two-storey homes, well-built streets, courtyards, tombs, and warehouses. Today it lies beneath up to four metres of water, a fate that may have helped inspire the legend of Atlantis. But the secrets of this lost city – the world’s oldest submerged settlement – are at last being revealed with the help of ”revolutionary” underwater imaging technology developed by Sydney scientists at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics.
