submerged ruins
Drowned ancient structures
Submerged ruins are the remains of structures now underwater—buildings, temples, cities, or harbors lost to rising seas, earthquakes, or shifting coastlines.
The phrase evokes both archaeological discovery and romantic mystery: Divers explored the submerged ruins off the Greek coast.
Ancient ports like Alexandria's harbor and legendary sites like Atlantis feed the imagination around submerged ruins.
