Plate tectonics assumes a mechanism called 'subduction'. This would be 
the cause of an uplift of the area, where that harbour is located 
('Eurasian plate') because the African plate is pushing underneath.

But is this a plausible assumption? An uplift of 8m is required, but 
would such a rising landmass leave the area exactly levelled?

The problem is this: the harbour was build horizontal. That was easy for 
the Roman builders, since they could use the Mediterranean Sea as 
reference surface.

But the African plate is certainly not using the sea-levels as guidance 
for its dive into inner Earth, hence would make the lift of Italy 
slightly uneven.

Only this did not happen, as we can see at this lake. The very large 
harbour is still exactly horizontal, (as we can see at the surface of 
that lake).


The idea of 'Growing Earth' is, that spreading causes rifts and valley, 
in which the water flows. This would make sea-levels drop in large 
periods of time.

The harbour of Rome would be one hint in this direction, but not the 
only one. Other harbours of ancient towns have similar characteristics, 
like the harbour of Troy. This harbour is now 30 m above sea-level and 
the water is about 5 km away.

Haitabu is another ancient harbour, were they have found wrecks of 
Viking ships - on land!
