Experts discovered a 40-foot ancient ship 1 mile deep on the seafloor off Israel's coast, dating back 3,300 years to the late Bronze Age, showcasing advanced navigation capabilities of ancient seafarers.
The discovery suggests ancient seafarers could navigate deep seas, not restricted to coastal waters, indicating a higher level of maritime skills than previously known.
The well-preserved amphora jugs found on the ship, used for carrying oil, wine, and fruit, were retrieved with minimal risk of damage to the collection by marine technicians.
The location of the shipwreck, far from the shore, hints at the advanced navigation capabilities of ancient seafarers who could traverse the Mediterranean without constant coastal visibility.
