Cercetătorii au găsit o fâșie de uscat ascunsă sub mare. Descoperirea poate rescrie istoria a doua insule celebre

Recent research suggests that Sicily and Malta were once connected by a land bridge during the last Ice Age, allowing for easier movement between the two islands. An Italian-Maltese scientific expedition discovered evidence of this connection on the Mediterranean seabed, revealing a complex underwater landscape. The researchers believe that around 22,000 years ago, when sea levels were significantly lower, this land bridge existed. However, there is currently no archaeological evidence to confirm human passage across it. Recent studies indicate that the first inhabitants of Malta arrived approximately 8,500 to 9,000 years ago, likely using boats rather than the land bridge, which had been submerged for about 4,500 years by that time.
