    Visiting the Athens Archaeological Museum is one of my great bucket list items. I can’t wait to see the Antikythera artefacts and The Mechanism!

    Great work. The more we find the more our past seems to ask more questions. So many massive finds. So much lost destroyed or stollen artifacts and buildings.

      @@flowerpower9541 Do not underestimate Museums in the States, there are some world class ones in New York, Washington D,C., L.A. , Chicago and many more. I also loved seeing the Saturn 5 rocket in Kennedy Space Center that took the first men to the moon just as much as seeing the Mona Lisa in Paris or the Sunflowers in Amsterdam.

    Is there any chance to reconstruct the type of ship / compass orientation / size upon sinking / way it broke apart from the positioning of the ship pieces and cargo found so far? Would the pieces have moved much in 2k years? Or is there no way?

    It's weird to think that when the ship went to sea it left from a specific destination on a certain date and with a likely smiling, happy and ambitious crew. From that point on there are no records recorded during the voyage and the crew is never seen again. No exact date/time when it sank, nothing. Even now we only know where it rests, nothing about it's journey or crew. Tragic.

    Sadly I have to wonder if the site was raided. I did not see any indications of sponges in the video. The presence of limbs but not bodies(statues) suggests the possibility, to me, nets ripped them off or they ripped off while hoisting the statues? I have to wonder if this was related to the Olympic games moved from site to site? There is just to much and to high a quality for them to have been a private collection? A governments collection?

    one wonders why they do not apply the sandblasting technology used by Mel Fisher on the Atocha? Basically the TOOL is a 90 degree funnel that redirects the prop wash to remove sands covering artifacts.

    A ship this big sinking would have been noted in history annals. Have we exhaustingly scoured the literature to find any mention? Failing that, does the lack of mention increase the likelihood that it was several smaller ships as opposed to one giant ship? Or is it simply so long ago that the historical literature records show a fraction of events that transpired? I fear it’s the latter.

      No it didn't. It was lost of military neglect, as the Usa destroyed many cultural objects in the middle east, and through the cult of ignorance, embodied by contemporaneous Trump folloers.
