In a thousand year's from now, when the sea levels rise again and all of our towns and cities today are submerged underwater and have rotted away.. the only thing the marine geologists will find when they dive deep, are the remnants of a Nokia 3310....Wonderful.

Its amazing to think that one day *we* today will be an ancient civilization.

Who ever did the graphics in this video should have a raise

[gentlerat]

This is why National Geographic is so much better than the History Channel or Netflix. It actually gives the skeptics air time and lets them sometimes have the last word.

Oceans scare me, but that won’t stop me from binge watching documentaries about them

[eren]

My favorite part was every time the narrator said "Only 1 question remains..." and then continued to put forth unanswered questions for 45 minutes.

Imagine if the library of Alexandria wasn’t burned by Julius Caesar, the amount of history we are missing out on

[esbi]

This is a timeless documentary. Today, some regions in our country are experiencing prolonged flooding even with light rainfalls - roads and bridges became unpassable, plains are fully covered with muddy water and some residential areas are barely recognizable. Some people began to abandon their houses and business. Probably this is just how the nature works, and probably less than a century from now, people will inhabit highland areas.

Atlantis wouldnt had sunk....if it wasnt for that darn nut that squirrel from ice age is crazy about.

july 30 edit: thanks for the likes and please dont take this seriously, this is a joke about the scene on "ice age continental drift"

nov10 edit:mom, they love me.

We discovered only 5% of the oceans imagine what is hidden in that 95% it gives me goosebumps

[andymar]

i like the sea but i'm scared of what is deep down there.

My favorite part was when Professor M. Kimura was talking about how warm & happy the Triangle Pool makes you feel after taking a dip. 👨🏻‍🔬💧🤣🥰

Thousands of years from now when they find the ruins of stuffs like Disneyland or Japanese cities. Imagine their theories about our era. "Mickey mouse walked among us", "Alien visitors did Star Wars", "Legend called Naruto the savior of our world"

I'm just waiting on that day where a diver accidentally uncovers a handprint. Puts his hand there and the ocean kingdom opens up.

I’m more interested with this kind of history than the history what school is teaching me

[mysticmaidenmagic]

growing up i’ve had reoccurring lucid dreams of being impacted by huge waves and cities being taken out and washed away. i have always felt a strong connection to atlantis and a deep desire and burning passion to study it. i believe it is necessary for us to literally and figuratively dive deeper and dissect the runes of these ancient civilizations to discover what knowledge they may have possessed then that can support our development as a species now

[kathrynjordan]

This is history! How I wish we could teach things like this in our history classes. I was bored in my history classes; this is what I like to learn. Thank you for a beautiful documentary. Imagine that one day we will be an ancient civilization.
