The Dwarka Depth Problem
In my full video that is currently on YouTube, (link is at the bottom of this page.) I run thought what I believe is the Dwarka’s Depth problem that in my opinion links it to Atlantis. Marine archaeologists report structures lying about 40 meters beneath the Gulf of Khambhat. Tests on artifacts suggest human activity there around 9,000 years ago. But here’s the twist: the last time sea levels stood 40 meters lower was nearly 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age.
That mismatch — between the depth of the site and the dating of artifacts — fuels the Dwarka Depth Problem. Did the city sink earlier than we think? Or do we need to re-examine the evidence?
🌍 Science Meets Story
Divers fight strong tidal currents when they investigate the ruins, which makes it difficult to separate natural rock from human construction.
Meanwhile, Hindu texts describe Dwarka as Krishna’s golden city, reclaimed from the sea and then lost to it. Plato’s tale of Atlantis echoes the same theme — a powerful city swallowed by water.
Are these just parallel myths? Or fragments of real memories about ancient civilizations drowned by rising seas?
🔎 Why It Matters
If Dwarka truly dates back 12,000 years, it would predate Mesopotamia and Egypt by millennia. That would force us to rethink when advanced societies first rose. If not, the debate still shows how myths and archaeology intertwine whenever we dig into humanity’s forgotten past.
⚖️ The Takeaway
Dwarka’s story doesn’t give us final answers, but it does raise a bigger question:
👉 How many other cities might rest beneath the waves, waiting to change our history books?
