Scientists amazed at the discovery of an underwater road that points to a 7000-year-old city

The submerged Neolithic city most possibly belonged to the pre-historic remains of ancient Hvar civilization located in Croatia.

And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.

Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.
You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.
Roads, tools and habitation are signs of humans. They are not cities. There are roads, tools and houses on farms. Farms are not cities. The city part was just a lie.
Just glancing at the two articles that were posted, they seem a bit different from each other, OPs definitely has a clickbaity title, but it does mention multiple settlements. Is that a city? Not by today's standards, nor the standards of any other well recorded period of history... times change though. The town I live in has a population of roughly 250k or so but is not much of a city at all, village would be more appropriate for what is available in my mind. We have food and junk shops, but no real services... Its a bit of a shithole town though.
Thank you both for having enough discourse in the comments to make me engaged enough to learn about some ancient shit! Thanks!
