Default Ancient geography question
Does anyone know if there's a map online that shows the areas that were once exposed during the last ice age but are now underwater? Saw a documentary once that talked about the best places for digs to look for ancient peoples are all underwater since at the time, they were near the water's edge which is where most ancient peoples would have gravitated to since water is the source of life in such times.

Global maps don't show the change as much as those of distinct localities. Here are a few:
