Vadim:

Don‘t show your ignorance. The sea is constantly taking sand and silt from 
one place and adding it to others. That is why people around here hire 
dredges to take sand and silt from places where the sea constantly adds to 
the land, and puts it in places where the sea takes it away. Yes, I live on a 
coastline, too.

So it makes perfect sense that a causeway built by Alexander the Great and 
his army, by blocking the normal flow of water, would contribute to filling 
in the land between the island and mainland.
