During the last ice age, what is now the Persian Gulf used to not be.

It used to be a very nice river valley near the Fertile Crescent where people lived.

And the thing here, though, that I don't quite get is that they haven't found any evidence of things underwater there, right?

What about Doggerland?

Right.

And here they have actually found submerged traces of settlements under the sea, unlike the one in the Persian Gulf.
