Scientists from Bulgaria and the UK found a ship that sank 2400 years ago. It is well preserved and resembles the ship Odyssey on an ancient Greek vase.
Found 23-meter vessel used ancient Greek merchants. Its mast, steering wheel and other parts are uniquely preserved at a depth of more than 2 km. This was due to the lack of oxygen under water.
The discovery will change the idea of ​​shipbuilding and navigation, says the head of the team that found the ship, John Adams.
Carbon analysis found that the ship was built about 400 years BC. This is the oldest known ship that has been preserved under water, the researchers say.
