Moscow.--The discovery OF an an
cient submerged city near SbIkova,
sandy bank on the Caspian sea. was
recently made by Alexis Atayeff, a
captain In the soviet mercantile fleet.
Atayeff's ship. bound from Persia to
Bakku, accidently changed her usual
course and while soundings were be-
ing made, he noticed buildings on the
sea floor.
Archeologists are OF the opinion that
the discovery reveals the lost city Of
Kharadashegar, which is believed TO
have been submerged centuries ago by
an earthquake which altered the whole
coast line. Local inhabitants have the
tradition that several other cities were
destroyed by the earthquake.
