underwater ruins
Drowned ancient structures
Underwater ruins are the submerged remains of human structures—cities, temples, harbors, or other constructions now beneath lakes, rivers, or seas.
Some sank through natural disasters, earthquakes, or rising sea levels; others were deliberately flooded by dam construction.
The phrase evokes mystery and lost civilizations: divers exploring underwater ruins off the Greek coast.
In video games, underwater ruins are a common setting for exploration and treasure hunting.
