Somebody posted an enquiry about a recent discovery of a submerged city. I
can't find the original post
but here is what I found in The Sunday Times (South Africa) today:

New City Limit

Archaeological finds in India indicate that cities may have emerged
thousands of years further back in history than was
previously believed.

Objects found last year at a submerged city off Gujarat have been dated to
around 7500BC, reports New Scientist.

Prior to the discovery it was believed that the earliest cities had emerged
in Mesopotamia around 3000BC.

If validated the find would also push back India's oldest civilization by
5000 years
