What happened when the Millennium shipwreck surfaced? When was the shipwreck? What's on it?

As we know, there are actually many things under the sea. In addition to creatures living on the seabed, there are many shipwrecks that have sunk into the seabed because of many accidents, which may be found in various sea areas. Recently, a Millennium shipwreck was found in the eastern Mediterranean. So when was the sunken ship here and where was the ship? What's on the boat? Can you salvage it? See if these problems can be solved.

1. Millennium shipwreck surfaced Recently, researchers used sonar and other instruments to find the largest wreck of an ancient Roman ship in the eastern Mediterranean. When scientists discovered the ship, the earthenware pot with ears 2000 years ago was still intact.

According to CNN17, archaeologists from Patrice University discovered the sunken ship with a length of 1 10 feet (35 meters) when conducting sonar survey on the seabed off the coast of Kaifa Leanya Island. The date of the shipwreck can be traced back to BC 100 to AD 100. Most of the captains in that era were about 50 feet, and the captain 1 10 feet was considered to be the largest ancient shipwreck found in the eastern Mediterranean.

George Ferenti North Petraeus University said that this was the fourth largest shipwreck in the history of the entire Mediterranean region, which was of great archaeological significance. Experts believe that this discovery shows that Fesaldo is an important stop on the Roman trade route.

He and nine fellow scholars wrote in the Wall Street Journal: "The well-preserved binaural pottery pots on board may reveal the traffic routes, trade, shipbuilding and other information of that period."

At present, the problem facing scientists is how to deal with this sunken ship. Valentine told CNN that it is very difficult and costly to recycle ships. They intend to make a cheaper plan-using DNA technology to detect whether the pottery jar contains wine, olive oil, nuts, wheat or barley. Then, they will look for investors to design a diving park for the sunken ship.

At present, the replica of this ship is kept in the Ionian Aquarium on Kaifa Lenya Island, and other treasures found in the waters around the island are also kept in the museum.

2. What's on the sunken ship? Two thousand years ago, this ship was loaded with a large number of pottery pots with two ears and crossed the Mediterranean Sea. Ear pottery jar is a large pottery jar used by the Roman Empire to transport wine and olive oil. For some reason, the ship failed to reach its destination.

After about two thousand years of sinking, archaeologists have now rediscovered the ship and its cargo, dating back to BC 100 to AD 100. It is considered to be the largest ancient shipwreck found in the eastern Mediterranean.

The 35-meter-long sunken ship, together with about 6,000 clay pots, was discovered by sonar at a depth of about 60 meters in the sea near Kafa Leanya, ionian islands, on the west coast of Greece.

The survey was conducted by the staff of patrice University using artificial intelligence image processing technology, and the research was funded by the European Union.

This is the fourth large sunken ship found in the whole Mediterranean during this period, which has "great archaeological significance".

3. Extended reading of ancient Rome Ancient Rome refers to the civilization that rose in the middle of the Italian peninsula (the Apennine Peninsula) at the beginning of the 9th century BC. Ancient Rome experienced the Roman monarchy (753-509 BC), the Roman republic (509-27 BC) and the Roman Empire (27-476 BC 1453 BC).

From the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century BC, Rome fought three wars with Carthage, a western Mediterranean power, for the hegemony of the Mediterranean, plundering resources and slaves, which was called Punic War in history. In the 2nd century BC, Rome became the overlord of the Mediterranean. Rome * * * and the era basically completed its territorial expansion, and expanded into a huge Roman empire that spanned Europe, Asia and Africa and dominated the Mediterranean around 1 century. By 395 AD, the Roman Empire was divided into two parts. In 4 10, Germanic visigoths entered Italy under the leadership of alaric, besieged Rome, opened the city gates with the cooperation of slaves in the city, plundered and left, and then established the visigoth kingdom in the Western Roman Empire.

In 476, the Roman mercenary leader Teutonic deposed romulus Augustus, the last emperor of Western Rome, and the Western Roman Empire came to an end. The Eastern Roman Empire (Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, was founded on the basis of the ancient Greek city of Byzantium, so it was also called the Byzantine Empire) was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. Like China in Qin and Han Dynasties, ancient Rome was one of the powerful empires in the ancient world. During the reign of Emperor Trajan of Antony Dynasty (98-1 17), the territory of the Roman Empire reached its largest and its economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, starting from Spain and Britain in the west, reaching the upper reaches of the Euphrates River in the east, North Africa in the south and the Rhine and Danube River in the north. The Mediterranean became the inland sea of the empire.
