A Lost City Underwater In China

A Lost City Underwater In ChinaPosted by Spiros Antonopoulos on January 24, 2006 - 12:15pm.

A large complex of ancient buildings—some which resemble the Mayan pyramids—has been discovered at the bottom of Fuxian Lake in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. The city also features rock roads, a round colosseum-like structure, and multi-level buildings reaching up to five stories with many small steps between the floors. Sonar surveys estimate the area of the city to cover nearly one square mile. Chinese television broadcasted video via an underwater autonomous vehicle which transmitted images of divers searching the site and unearthing artifacts including pottery and a piece of stone carved with floral patterns.
