It's amazing there's things on earth that still exist and haven't been touched for so long. Ship wrecks are time capsules.
Think of all the fossils that sit under the floor of some 70 or so percent of the earths surface, what ancient sea creatures lie in wait
Now worse, how many fossils have been destroyed in the millions of years of the ocean floor slipping under fault lines?
The ocean is a time capsule.
A poop is also a time capsule, of sorts.
Sure thing! I'll plunge into the depths and claim all that gold for myself, haha! 🏴☠
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.
Exactly my thought (re them not mentioning that the footage with the divers is of a different shipwreck).
they did dive in that project for some of the other shorpwrcks, but indeed not that shipwreck correct.
Thanks for the clarification. I knew there was no way this was real.
Very true!
Yes
2000 meters down and there are Divers at the wreck? Did I miss something?
This ancient shipwrecked vessel’s mast remaining upright underwater for 2,000 years is wild.
Damn good shipbuilding
They don't actually know how old it is, they are guessing, but aren't even sure what it is or from where it came.
Pretty freakin' cool story. I want one of those 3D printed models homeboy was holding.
looks like someone didn't have enough faith.
"Check again!" The ship rises from the dead with tons of fish
Hello Jesus 👋
2000 meters, that's 6000 feet!---no way scuba divers go there!!!!
The video of the divers around a ship is of a different shipwreck.
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......!
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.
They can preserve this ship like they did with the Swedish VASA ship
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.
I thought they had the right equipment for scuba diving deeper than just 1km
The model shown by one of the archeologists is different from the one with the divers, so they're probably using footage from a different shipwreck that was accessible to them.
They probably just looked up the maximum depth of the Black Sea online, which is just over 2000m.
@Pete's Guitar Lessons TV And there they remain.
Its only 900m down not 2 km
Dude I was thinking of something from 1700's but for 2400 years ago?? That's amazing
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.
2,000 meters is incorrect information. The dead sea at it's deepest is only 304 meters deep. The Greek ship is only 100 meters down.
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
Finishing up my marine engineering program at bcit next year, would love for an opportunity to work on research/exploration vessels one day!
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.
Fantastic! What impresses, despite being very old, is the state of conservation! Fell asleep with its secrets and mysteries!
Great find.
Instead of meaningful and interesting pictures we get talk about how wonderful it is
Video is deceptive: divers can’t go anywhere near 2000 meters.
Why show divers when the actual wreck is way beyond the reach of divers and has to be accessed by rov
Because its file footage and not the actual wreck. I hate it when they do that.2000 meters is impossible for a human to dive.
How can the archaeologists be scuba diving at that depth?
It's not the same shipwreck.
That clip was for representation purpose.
Some guy in a FEMA camp fake.
Well done and well founded decision to leave it there for future research
Super interesting
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!
emm Greeks were first roman second and the rest came much later
@@nickadm8321 Actually the Minoans came before the Greeks
That was very interesting and I have to say I'm impressed with the interesting thing is very abandoned
There has been a misunderstanding by certain people reporting this . This wrack was found at 23 m , or 75 feet . But it is know there are wrecks much deeper up to 2000 meters
edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2019/10/31/wwii-vessel-deepest-shipwreck-orig-vstan-bdk.cnn
If only it could be brought up for a museum
great story. I just couldn't help thinking the story was being undersold when it kept being referred to as centuries old when it was actually millennia old. that ship is as ancient to Jesus as Christopher Columbus is to us. considering the perfect conditions necessary for a ship that old to remain like that, it may be a long, long time before we find another like this that's even in the same ballpark.
Surely the Uluburun ship which was intact and from 1300bc is a thousand years earlier, I think your experts are somewhat hasty in their claim.
Amazing that the ship still exists.
Amazing that the British still haven't attempted to "save/preserve" it.
It certainly is incredible how far humans have come in regards to technology
fascinating, the sea bed holds many untouched ships
2000 meters beneath the Black Sea is far too deep even for technical divers. Yet divers are diving it ? Maybe 200 meters ? Crazy deep enough.
That's what I thought
It's a different shipwreck in the video I think
The video of the divers around a ship is of a different shipwreck.
Today they found a 3000 year old shipwreck
2,000 meters is 2 kilometers. Divers cannot go that deep. That's like a mile and a quarter down. That's deeper than the wreck of the Japanese battleship Yamato in the East China Sea or the Musashi in the Sibuyan Sea. Military attack submarines can't even dive that deep. The record for the deepest dive with scuba gear is 332 meters, set in 2014. At that depth, the pressure being exerted on the human body is 485 pounds per square inch or 33 bar. It took the diver fourteen hours to ascend, due to decompression. Why are we showing divers over a wreck that is supposed to be 2 kilometers down?
The footage of the driver is from a different wreck than the actual find. It is misleading to put that footage in and I feel it would have been best to leave it out to avoid the confusion and misleading imagery.
@1:10, Gosh,
like did they just make that 3d thing like yesterday?
fast so fast
There is little oxygen at this depth…..😂
What ship were they hunting from?
"This depiction is almost identical to what was discovered beneath the waves." Maybe I'm missing something, but the vase ship and the sunken ship do not look like the same shape to me. The vase ship has more vertical ends, and the sunken vessel is more flat/horizontal at the ends, not to mention the sunken ship is much longer and has more bulk on the one end.
Unfortunately our knowledge is bound by our previous knowledge and observations. It may be from a different Mediterranean or Eurasian civilization. Our best hope is professionalism and honesty when dealing with history.
SophieMia806 keep in mind that the depiction is 2D in side view whereas from the footage captured of the shipwreck they were able to reconstruct a 3D model
Also keep in mind this video editor includes other things that are misleading. Entertainment priority over facts.
Thankfully they didn't destroy it!
Need to correct 2000m. The Dead Sea is only 304 m deep and the Greek ship is found only 1/3 of the way down.
1000 years has been added to the timeline
What a find!!
I love history just cant believe how people lived hundreds of thousand years before us individuals withe dreams goals so many lives forgotten
That will be us one day as well
Yeah there's no way it's 2km.. It's not possible to scuba that deep, that's beyond hull crush depth for a submarine
Dan W. Well they probely had very advanced gear to swim that deep
Most submarines though there is a specialist sub called then Trieste that can go over 10 km deep - it was a different wreck they where shown diving
ok the fact the ship looks in great condition and other ships are in so bad condition even tho it happend after.
That's fascinating. Now.... Can someone explain why shipwrecks this old still exist at the bottom of the oceans around the world .... But the Titanic, which went down recently is (by all accounts) falling apart and will completely disappear in just a few years?
Titanic: I am old get on my level other ships
Ship in this video: hold my beer..
Remarkable news, but why can't they specially treat each wooden member and reconstruct the entire ship in a museum? Why do they have to leave it where no one can really see it? I can see leaving some wrecks for future technologies to reconstruct, but use one for present times. I think there are many more intact shipwrecks in the Black Sea as exploration is so limited due to various governments. Does anyone know why they can't reconstruct the ship in a museum? I bet that they could get a return on admissions to see it. Have it tour major cities of the world.
Wow!
Good God.. Alice Roberts really gets around!
The video of the divers around a ship is of a different shipwreck.
There has to be a way to get this to the surface
Or at the very least uncover it more
If it was 2000 metres under the sea those divers would be mush.
I want to know what kind of gear those divers are using that allows them to dive to 6,000 feet
Is this a joke or not? cause... The picture without the divers is most likely the actual pictures.
a curious fact: until about 30 years ago, all wooden fishing boats in the area of Spain near Gibraltar ritually drew an eye on each side of the forward part of the boat. When the European Union gave money to destroy those ships and buy modern steel or polyester ones, all those ships, maybe 500 ships, with carved eyes on the front were destroyed.
6,500+ ft below the waves
If that’s what it looked like the day it sank, no wonder it sank. 😂
*So fascinating*
Outstanding
I want know what’s in the hull
This wreck isn't 2000m deep as stared in the report.
Amazing!!!!
...more like 20m beneath the Black Sea....
Not oldest, oldest known,
it does say discovered...which means found lol
well DUH Sherloc
@Taha Hagar that's what I mean, oldest known,
@@daleHarrison93 hence oldest known, but there are many out there who will take it as gospel to be the only one, I just meant there is the chance another older one may be found,
but they said in the title...it is the oldest "discovered"....which means oldest known u dumb little spunkhead
Divers at 2000 meters can get by on what appears to be scuba gear?
lmaooo
Proof that ancient time was real:
It's 2 km deep but there are normal scuba divers studying it? I thought humans couldn't survive at that depth.
Titanic: Bruh i have feelins
titanic wasnt intact? lol
It’s not 2km. I saw the documentary when this ship and two others were found. It’s less than 500 ft
They found George Santos’ treasure that he put on the wreck in 500BCE.
This news fascinated me . Love from India
I didnt realize divers could survive at “2000 meters” deep 🤷♂️
Two thousand meter's?! A wee too deep for a diver!
This is not the oldest shipwreck. There are a couple from the Late Bronze Age in the Mediterranean; Ulu Burun comes to mind (c. 1350-1300 BC).
Intact.
Key word.
My mother in law survived that sinking.
Wait a minute, do ya think they could have put two of every living animal on that vessel ? Hmmm...Lol!
Oh wow haha! So funny!
Graham Hancock says that their are other better things to invest in such as ground penetrating radar in the Amazon .
Well that Wes worth watching 😏
Yes it certainly "wes"
Obviously, she does not know what she is reading.
Ship building she played the game
2000 meters??? divers can only go 300m max
guys calm down its not 2000m its 2000cm
2000 mm
Way cool.
Leave it to SkyNews to show divers at 6000ft down 🤦...wearing shallow depth gear no less. 😂
Just take the whole thing out to study it
Just
This thing is still intact but the Titanic is fading away HOW
No oxygen, no salt.
Probably depends on where it sank and the fact that it’s made of wood probably helps since the metal eating bacteria that’s consuming titanic won’t eat wood
Bring that ship up!!!!
small ship in i
Ancients Greeks had travelled all around the world.
How does a ship that old be intanto
it belongs in a meseum
-indiana jones
Oh sky news....
I would've ripped some pieces off to take home.
This is worth spending money and getting to a museum but.. It's corrosion is already happened.. So change if environment may be detrimental..
Yeah it sucks but honestly the black sea is Antioxidant so it preserved it really well. Billions of years ago back in what was known as the Archean this was the state of our entire ocean. Then some cells learned how to do Photosynthesis and started creating Oxygen which was lethal and killed 90% of all life and while said life was microscopic it was still a huge loss. I'm simplifying ofc but that's generally what happened.
Fame news, trust me, these are very bad representation: how can there be DIVERS swimming 2000 metres below sea level!
Assassin's Creed black flag 😜
Humans are not ROVs .
Raise it up, before it will be gone forever.
Its been in an environment free of any organism that would cause decay for 2,500 years. I think it can last another 2,500 years . Its currently located at one of the deepest regions in the Black sea at a layer they call the anoxic zone. The water there has no soluble oxygen to cause any chemical reactions and the hydrogen sulfide of the zone kills off any chance of marine organisms from living there (ex: shipworms that eat wood). The zone is basically a "dead zone".
two thousand meters down, human divers?
