At the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, archaeologists uncovered a 10,000-year-old man-made monolith that they believe is evidence of a prehistoric civilization. The rock monument’s colossal size (12 meters, or about 39 feet in height) suggests that quite a few people would have been needed to move it — something that would have been difficult if, as previously suspected, the inhabitants had been hunter-gatherers living relatively solitary lifestyles.

That’s a bit misleading at the end. We know what happened c12000 years ago, the start of the current interglacial period. It took several thousand years for the meltwater to reach high enough to flood the Mediterranean Sea, then several thousand more years to reach a high enough level to flood into the now Black Sea, which was a fresh water lake. The sea level generally rose hundreds of feet in the first c6000 years and has slowed down to a steady 1 – 2mm per year increase ever since. There are many much earlier traces of modern humans in Africa.
