Helike of Greece
An ancient Greek city that disappeared overnight due to an earthquake 'swallowing' the city underwater, and casting a tsunami on it following the earthquake. To this day only 3 Helike coins have been found, and a few pieces archaeologists believe to be Helike civilization pieces found more inland than where the city was documented. After the natural disaster, 2000 spartan men went to recover bodies, but none were to be found.
