Archeologists Discover A Perfectly Preserved 1200-Year-Old Byzantine Shipwreck

Описание: Four years in the making, this documentary follows the world’s largest Maritime Archaeological Expedition in exploring how the Black Sea formed after the last ice age. Led by charismatic chief scientist Jon Adams, the team send state-of-the-art remote survey vehicles 2 kilometres underwater to scan the seabed. In seeking geological clues, they quickly make remarkable finds: over 70 shipwrecks almost perfectly preserved in the chilly, oxygen-depleted water of this near landlocked sea. In this episode, the team discovers a perfectly preserved 1,200-year-old Byzantine merchant vessel - a true time capsule of medieval seafaring.
