Approximately 15,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, sea levels were significantly lower than today, estimated to be around 120 to 130 meters (about 394 to 427 feet) below current levels. This was primarily due to vast amounts of water being stored in ice sheets and glaciers. As the climate warmed and these ice masses melted, sea levels began to rise, leading to the conditions we see today.

It disappeared somewhere around 15000 years ago. This has probably something to do with rising sea levels as the ice age ended and the melting ice flooded lowlying land.

Were earths seas higher or lower than 10000 years ago?

As glaciers and icecaps melted at the end of the last Ice Age, sea levels rose and dramatically changed the world, perhaps nowhere more dramatically than in what is now the Black Sea, where, according to some researchers, a flood 7600 years ago filled the basin. So ten thousands years ago the earth seas level were lower. Credits to NJRRNIST
