This group explores the forgotten epochs of Earth, civilizations lost to time, cycles of rise and fall, and the cataclysmic events that reset human history. Covering subjects like the destruction of Atlantis, the Younger Dryas impact, pole shifts, and global floods, we ask: What came before us? What was lost? What patterns are we repeating?

At the end of the last Ice Age—starting around 14,600 years ago—global temperatures spiked. Glaciers that had covered vast regions of the planet began to melt rapidly, releasing immense volumes of freshwater into the oceans.
Between 14,600 and 8,000 years ago, sea levels rose by over 400 feet (about 120 meters).
That rise submerged entire landmasses that were once dry, fertile, and likely inhabited by humans and megafauna. Shallow continental shelves, now beneath the waves, were some of the most habitable places on Earth, rich in resources, near river mouths, and perfect for early settlements.
If early human cultures rose before or during this period, their remains may now be underwater.
Yet, little archaeological effort has been focused on these now-submerged shelves.What do you think happened to past civilizations? Could our history be underwater, waiting to re-emerge?
