guy Posted March 2, 2025 Report Share Posted March 2, 2025 (edited) A previously unknown Roman village complex has emerged from the waters of Lake Fusaro near Naples as a result of the phenomenon of geological uplift known as bradyseism. Bradyseism is a geological phenomenon involving slow, gentle upward or downward shifts of the Earth's crust. It is most frequently observed in volcanic areas, particularly in calderas such as Campi Flegrei near Naples, Italy. 🌋 Key Characteristics: Positive bradyseism: Gradual uplift of the ground. Negative bradyseism: Gradual subsidence or sinking. Caused by the filling or emptying of underground magma chambers or hydrothermal systems activity. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2025/03/submerged-roman-villa-emerges-in-lake-fusaro/154643 https://archaeologymag.com/2025/03/roman-villa-emerges-from-lake-fusaro/ Edited August 19, 2025 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guidoLaMoto Posted March 4, 2025 Report Share Posted March 4, 2025 That's one of the planet's most seismically active areas. Ground levels regularly rise or fall up to a foot a year.

It began sinking in the 4th century AD....I think they found a graphitus there that reads "Quod Baiae accidit Baiae manet" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
