That the local orography has changed, what is not at all implausible considering it is a very active geological area. If so, the monolith would have only been submerged when the subduction took place.<br /><br />2. That the monolith was being transported between islands or along the coast in a barge or ship, which sunk. This may explain why the rock is broken in two almost by half, probably at the point where the monolith hit the sea floor. <br /><br />So it does not need to be from the end of the Ice Age, it can well be more recent. It's even possible that it never was erected (if the sinking theory is correct). Most likely IMO it dates from the Megalithic period in the area, which affected Malta and parts of Sicily.
