World's oldest shipwreck found off Turkey | The Moment

We have found an early Bronze Age shipwreck in the coast of the Mediterranean of Turkey, which is the earliest trade shipwreck of the world. The cargo of the shipwreck is amphoras, the earliest potteries of the world. This is an amazing feeling. We didn't think that we can find the oldest one. As underwater archaeologists, we dive with scuba equipment to find this shipwreck. The last person who touched this was like 5,000 years ago. And then you are the first human after 5,000 years. You are going back like time machine. Pretty mesmerizing pictures, eh? So part of the problem is because the wooden structure didn't survive down there in about 100 feet of water, they had to go on the artifacts themselves, the pottery. And that's how they figured out the age. At first they thought it was maybe a few hundred years old and then realized, oh no, this is much bigger than that. Thank you.
