Not exactly treasure but really cool!


Off the coast of Bulgaria, more than a mile beneath the surface of the Black Sea, a team of maritime archaeologists, scientists and surveyors has discovered what could be the world’s oldest intact shipwreck — a 75-foot-long Greek trading vessel carbon-dated to more than 2,400 years ago.
The Black Sea Maritime Archaeology project says it found the wreck in oxygen-free conditions that preserved its components. Its design has previously been seen only on the side of ancient Greek pottery.The ship was found lying whole with its mast, rudders, and rowing in a “shipwreck graveyard’ that has already revealed over 60 other vessels.

I recorded and watched a show on TV about that discovery. That's pretty amazing finding a ship that old.
