Still, it sucks, my man. One of the great medieval cities of Italy slowly destroyed by rising water…

In 500 years or so many of the great cities we have today will be abandoned (at least in part.)

Marine archeology is a fascinating subject - the remains of human settlements are under water all around the world. Given the attraction sea shores have had to H. sapiens - probably due to abundant protein sources - a great deal of the background, pre-history if you will, of our species is likely under water.
