It reports “BBC”. This is the oldest marine find in the history of archaeology

On the ship found hundreds of intact jars, which once stored goods.

According to scientists, the discovery indicates that the sailors of that time already knew how to sail the seas, navigating by the sun and stars.

Found old-vine ship, located about 90 kilometers from the northern coast of Israel.

It was discovered at a depth of 1,800 meters and is the oldest ever found in the deep sea.

So far, all shipwrecks dating back to the Bronze Age, which began just over 5,000 years ago, have been found in shallow waters close to the coastline.

For example, the oldest known wreck in the world is located off the coast of the Greek island of Dokos and is believed to have sunk about 4,200 years ago.

At this stage, little is known of the ship’s history. There is speculation that the ship sank either as a result of a storm.

There is also speculation that it may have sunk because of a pirate attack, a popular phenomenon in the Late Bronze Age.
