World's oldest intact shipwreck discovered

It's amazing there's things on earth that still exist and haven't been touched for so long. Ship wrecks are time capsules.

PSA: The video of the divers around a ship is of a different shipwreck. It's not possible for divers to dive to that depth, plus there is also the fact that in the video they say that they used remotely operated vehicles to explore the shipwreck. The photo they showed without the divers is most likely the real one. Putting that video there most likely was to draw attention to the nature of the work they're doing in regards to many shipwrecks which they do dive to. While I haven't confirmed this, I do have a certification as an Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver. I don't think this degrades the discovery, I just think it would have been smart for these news agencies to mention that fact so they don't get accused of spreading fake news.

2000 meters down and there are Divers at the wreck? Did I miss something?

looks like someone didn't have enough faith.

Pretty freakin' cool story. I want one of those 3D printed models homeboy was holding.

This ancient shipwrecked vessel’s mast remaining upright underwater for 2,000 years is wild.

An absolutely incredible find. How on earth did I not hear about this two years ago? I definitely want to go and see the museum exhibit for this.

So the deepest scuba dive was 1,066 feet. Yet this was 2km deep and there's video of people scuba diving at that depth. I don't understand.

They can preserve this ship like they did with the Swedish VASA ship

2000 meters, that's 6000 feet!---no way scuba divers go there!!!!

It is the oldest intact shipwreck YET discovered......others await their discovery......as technology marches on and man learns to use it to explore (not exploit) man will locate and be able to study other wrecks much older than the one shown here......!

Most of the shipwrecks that we have found around Vancouver island and in the Juan DeFuca straight are no where near that old or in that condition. When we were testing the very first ROV off of Victoria BC in the early 80s we found the remains of 2 old steam ships that no one knew that they were there. I would give damn near anything to be exploring in the Black Sea today. I wonder if any of those Research Vessels are hiring Marine Engineers

Video is deceptive: divers can’t go anywhere near 2000 meters.

The world record scuba dive depth is 332.35 meters, there is no scuba diving at 2000 meters. It's annoying when they use different footage for videos.

Imagine if we could be able to clone the trees the wood of that ship was made from. Somehow I feel like the wood might be damaged when they touch normal oxygenated air again.

Great find.

Fantastic! What impresses, despite being very old, is the state of conservation! Fell asleep with its secrets and mysteries!

Dude I was thinking of something from 1700's but for 2400 years ago?? That's amazing

No wonder the Black Sea keeps the hidden secrets of the European Civilizations. All countries around this sea are pure living history - the blue eye started from there, the oldest modern human remains have been found in Romania, the oldest European city Plodviv is in Bulgaria, then came the Greeks, the Romans, the Ottomans and so on. Black Sea and the Balkans are definitely the starting point of the European Civilization and the place from where culture has spread into Western Europe, thousands of years ago. That is simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. - Greetings from London!

Instead of meaningful and interesting pictures we get talk about how wonderful it is
