During this time at the bottom of the sea a lot of interesting things were found, including flooded ships. However this ship, clearly belonging to the once ancient Greece, is simply unique find – it is the oldest in the world of those found in marine the depths.

The ship is 23 meters long, and its contours are practically completely repeat the drawing of the ship Odyssey on the famous ancient Greek vase of sirens (photo above). Preserved in hydrogen sulfide not only the steering wheel, the masts, but even the benches for rowers, like some utensils of passengers.
Ancient Greek ship discovered 80 kilometers from the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea, found his underwater drone. Raise a ship or at least its main parts are not possible – all this crumble during lifting work. However underwater archaeologists and scientists do their best to research and save the little that allows the hydrogen sulfide of the Black Sea, preserving the ancient Greek pentekontor …
