The world's oldest Greek town, the town of Povlepetri, was engulfed by the sea more than 3,000 years ago. Scientists have known for 40 year that the town laid there but divers have not had a chance before to get a chance to study the remains. Th artifacts found there have been found to be dated back to almost 5,000 years ago making the city 1,000 years older than initially expected. The city has been found to contain streets, the first Pillar tombs, crypts and other buildings all contained on 9,000 square-miles of sea bed.
