A Bronze Age sunken ship has been found more than a mile below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel, in what researchers are describing as a "world-class" discovery.
"The ship appears to have been eroded as a result of a distress it got into in a sea storm, or perhaps in the event of an encounter with pirates -- a phenomenon known from the Late Bronze Age," Yaakov Sharavit, the director of the IAA’s Unit of Marine Archaeology, said in a statement. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"This is a world-class, historical-altering discovery," Sharavit was also quoted by the Jerusalem Post as saying. "This find reveals to us as never before the ancient mariners’ navigational skills – capable of traversing the Mediterranean Sea without a line of sight of any coast."
