The Atlit Yam Archaeological Site

Israel seem to always have mysterious things for human to figure out. They are not limited by time or places, even underwater. The following dive site that is defined as a destination in the top best diving spots in Israel is the Atlit Archaeological Site. It is regarded as a goldmine of archaeological findings, Atlit-Yam provides the earliest known evidence for an agro-pastoral-marine subsistence system on the Levantine coast.The site of Atlit Yam has been carbon-dated to be between 8,900 and 8,300 years old and belongs to the final Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period. It was the site of a massive fishing settlement that sunk into the ocean some 9,000 years ago off the shores of Atlit.

Visitors and dives can discover the archaeological findings of many centuries ago while diving in cool water. Some archaeological findings in the Atlit Yam Archaeology by researchers and scientists are Submerged settlements and shipwrecks (on the Carmel coast since 1960). It will be a wonderful experience to make a diving journey into Israel's sunken past with the remaining traces of the ancient people and interesting underwater excavations.
