many low-landing particularly in poor 3rd world countries and low lieing islands around australia are going to be under water within 100 years or less due to global sea rise .


the icecaps are melting at a very worrying pace but it is not talked about much

although global warming is recent it is plausible that some ancient cities were taken over by rising water levels, however in my experience it is usually the case where ancient cities that were once built at the water shore, in modern times the water usually recedes due to sediments building up and pushing the shoreline back for miles. there are other circumstances where the water in lakes are mis-used and within a very short period of time cities that were once on the coast of a lake are in the middle of a desert. never heard of a city being taken over by water but ill look into it.
