Sounds like Stranger from the Depths by Gerry Turner. "After sleeping for thousands of years the last survivor of a lost civilization returns to life to reveal secrets of the earth's core never imagined."
The cover is pretty distinctive so you would probably remember it as well.
Two brothers found a cave after a huge tsunami devasted the coast. They found a sculpture made of something harder than diamonds. The artifact lead to a discovery of a cask holding the body of a non-human creature. After reviving it and establishing communication, the researchers found its civilization that was 100-million years old underground. At the end the memories of the researchers were wiped out and sent back to the surface or something.
