World's Oldest Intact Shipwreck Discovered At The Bottom Of the Black Sea

One of the world’s oldest intact shipwrecks has been discovered at the bottom of the black sea.

????Researchers from the University of Southampton, as part of The Black Sea MAP project made the discovery.

????The find is just one of 60 incredibly well-preserved ships discovered since 2015 helping paint the seafaring tradition from nearly 2,500 years ago.

????This ship is believed to be Greek and dates back to 400 BC.

????And researchers say that they have found three ship that are even older, another may be out there that are older still.

????They said in a press release that, “...because of the anoxic conditions of the Black Sea -- the lack of oxygen -- below a certain depth, some of the wrecks survive in incredible condition." ????
