Lost civilisations:Antikythera shipwreck yields more treasures

news-antiky-diver
The wreckage was discovered in 1900
Divers have recovered several statue pieces and a mystery bronze disc from the 2,000-year-old shipwreck.

Located on the sea floor off the island of Antikythera, the ancient sailing vessel, which is believed to be one of the largest Roman era ships ever found, was originally home to the famous Antikythera mechanism, an early ‘computer’ that was used by seafarers to chart the motion of the planets.

First discovered by sponge divers 117 years ago, the wreck has yielded a great number of fascinating items and now, following a series of recent dives, archaeologists have uncovered evidence of seven large bronze statues as well as a mysterious bronze disc decorated with the image of a bull.

Described as ‘extremely exciting’, the statue finds are particularly important because only a small number of bronze statues are known to have survived from the ancient world and most have been altered or treated in some way by previous conservators, destroying vital information.

So far only a few mismatched limbs have been found however divers are now focusing their efforts on locating the rest of the pieces which must still be down in the wreckage somewhere.

If they succeed, it could significantly enhance our knowledge of that particular time period.

« What we’re finding is these sculptures are in among and under the boulders, » said excavation team co-director Brendan Foley of Lund University. « We think it means a minimum of seven, and potentially nine, bronze sculptures still waiting for us down there. »

Giant Monument Beneath Waters of the Sea of Galilee

Monument sous marin

 

This past summer, Archaeologists in Israel discovered an enormous structure under the Sea of Galilee.

A huge, cone-shaped monument has been discovered by a team of Israeli archaeologists conducting a geophysical survey on the southern Sea of Galilee.

« According to a paper published in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, the structure was built several thousand years ago and later submerged under the water.

It is 230 feet (70 m) in diameter and about 39 feet (12 m) high. The estimated weight of the monument is over 60,000 tons.

“The site resembles early burial sites in Europe and was likely built in the early Bronze Age. There may be a connection to the nearby ancient city of Beit Yerah, the largest and most fortified city in the area,” explained Dr Yitzhak Paz from Ben-Gurion University, lead author of the paper reporting the discovery.

“The stones, which comprise the structure, were probably brought from more than a mile away and arranged according to a specific construction plan,” added co-author Prof Shmuel Marco from Tel Aviv University. »

Fantastic discovery on the run : 3 pyramids discovered in Antarctica

Photo récente que je viens de recevoir.
Recent picture I just received.

 

Three ancient pyramids have been discovered in Antarctica by a team of American and European scientists. Two pyramids were discovered about 16 kilometers inland , while the third was very close to the coast, according to media reports .

An expedition to the bizarre structures should meet the intriguing question whether natural or artificial.

The first reports on the pyramids appeared in Western media last year. Some photos have been posted on websites with a comment that the strange structures could serve as proof that the ice-covered continent used to be hot enough to have been an ancient civilization living there.

Currently , we still know little about the pyramids, the team continues to remain silent about the discovery . The only reliable information provided by scientists is that they planned an expedition to the pyramids to research in greater depth and to determine with certainty if the structures were artificial or natural . No details on the timing of the shipment have been offered to the curiosity of the media.

Where the researchers show that the pyramids are artificial structures , the discovery may force revision of the largest in human history ever made.
