This is wild to think about. An entire *country* submerged, complete with forests and animals. Makes you wonder about all the other lost places we don't even know existed.

Oak forests for millennia. What a thought.

It didn't 'sink' so much as sea level rose dramatically as the ice age ended. Important distinction for the geology nerds.
