From dictionary.com, antediluvian has two definitions that are widely used: the first refers to anything occurring pre-biblical Flood, the other simply refers to anything antiquated; really, really old. This article will only refer to antiquity.

There is a great amount of growing evidence that there were thriving civilizations during and possibly before the last ice age; over 10,000 yrs ago. The vast majority unfortunately lies approximately fifty miles off the continental coastlines all around the world, submerged from the melt-off from the last ice age.

Archeology has a problem with this. Human civilization was only supposed to have begun about 6,000yrs ago. The last ice age officially ended about 10,000yrs ago. Any realized civilization submerged below the glacial melt-off of that period must then be at least 10,000yrs old, not to mention the time it took for that civilization to emerge before being engulfed by the big melt. It's not a serious issue at all really; someone just has to adjust some dates on charts. In spite of the simplicity of the fix, mainstream science does not seem to be taking the evidence seriously; instead, leaving the studies to fringe speculators.

A lack of scientific interest is understandable though. Undersea archeology is astronomically expensive. And what would be the over-all benefit to science in such endeavors? An official change of dates and redrawing of charts just doesn't invoke healthy funding unfortunately. However, local governments and private enterprises are funding studies in this area; not all is lost. But it will be slow. There are already disagreements whether or not some sites are man-made or natural formations.

Regardless of the politics involved or that some people believe conspiracies are rampant in Antediluvian research, it's an exciting field to study. The over-all picture that has been painted is one of advanced civilizations thriving before or during the last ice age; perhaps one global empire or several nations. As the waters rose and the cities fell to the tides, the people went inland. As the climate changed, so did the landscape, and these advanced cultures fell into a dark age and diminished. From the disparity of their descent, they eventually rose again to become the recorded history that we currently accept.

It's a fantastic vision with little evidence to support it, but not beyond the realm of belief. All modern nations came from a dark age. We generally call this period the medieval ages. With the fall of the Roman Empire; the entire world descended into bouts of anarchy. War, plague, and famine devastated the populations. Education was set aside in favor of survival. Much knowledge was lost in this dark time. With the emergence of the Renaissance, the dark ages arguably came to an end.

The breadth of time required for such a cycle to complete itself is an issue, of course. Some speculators suggest that humanity has gone through many such cycles; however anthropology simply has no evidence for this assertion. Conceivably, from here on, we could easily endure many more cycles.

Regardless, for now, evidence of a lost past is at hand, submerged below the oceans and seas. Everyday day new information can be found of an undersea city or road and even pyramids. In the years to come, in depth research should prove to be quite illuminating.
