I could watch videos like this 24/7 and I would like to see more documentaries of diving and research of the Black Sea. I spent many years on a Canadian Research Vessel during the Cold War period and I would drop everything to get a chance to hop on a Research Vessel in the Black Sea

[@garylong7423]

I wish I could live long enough to see what new discoveries man can find to give a real face to how we lived 2000+ years ago. How people lived loved, traveled, knowing what was truly important. Today people take it for granted.

Which shows, imo, that the most simple and situationally adapted solutions can be the best, or maybe even tend to be. The human mind is also quite inquisitive and performs better for a brief period when put under certain forms of short-term stress.

[@luukrutten1295]

Hey I think that thinking of that plunger move was a stroke of genius right there.

[@crs50]

Shout out to all Research Team for these thousand year old discovery

[@LRSNRCNG309]

The fact that the most important shipwreck of the black sea could literally be just right there in the darkness but the darkness keeps it from being found. Incredible

[@johnemerson1363]

Tow summers, 1967 and 1968, I got to dive with a Marine Archaeologist, Franco Colsimo in Sicilian waters. I saw a lot of amphora but all in less than 150 feet of water. Your ships are really deep! I would hope that a book or two such as Robert Ballard did for ships of Guadalcanal, Midway, Bismark and Titanic are in the works. I for one would reserve a copy.

[@lornaperryman489]

So fascinating. I can't even explain. How I felt just watching this program. Thank you so much for letting us watch with you

[@Archangel3083]

Awesome documentary, thank you

[@lidiamartin5245]

I hope what they recovered in Bulgarian waters stays in Bulgarian museums.

[@joebombero1]

Bulgarians are great at making deals. I am sure they kept going back to the port in Bulgaria because Bulgaria gave them great discounts for the port facilities in exchange for exclusive rights to the artifacts discovered.

[@zackworrell]

I was just in Greece sailing on the Med 2 weeks ago, looking at this ancient part of the world. Our human history is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this fine work.

[@bosse641]

Imagine how much more there are on the sea bottom all over the earth still not seen.

[@TheaSvendsen]

The ocean holds many secrets, for sure! I really wish we could invent a device able to scan for these ancient shipwrecks, artifacts etc. Sort of like we have the LiDAR technology for discovering land based objects. So much to find down there. And imagine how many mysteries we could finally solve by doing this. So many ships that vanished out of thin air, which we are still trying to figure out. Would also be nice if we could find the location of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370! Not to mention Amelia Earhart’s plane.

[@rickd6184]

Wonderful, would recommend the book "Noah's Flood" as it covers the growth of the Black Sea and the artifacts underneath it.

[@Steamrunner]

One big thing to remember is those shipwrecks are the final resting place for their crew. Rescue in the ancient world was unlikely and when the ship went down in the middle of nowhere, that was the end the crew's lives.

[@insanitydefined3112]

[@lizzy66125]

brilliant documentary

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

I love the entire program but what hit home is in the beginning when one of the diver's says diving to him means peice. I think other divers know that feeling like lots of us think of deserts and mountains or a day working the farm. The only more rare that most don't is what a Astronaut feels looking back at planet earth and the moon. How incredible and precious life is.

[@cruisepaige]

As a diver I can attest that it is very zen down there.

[@aliannarodriguez1581]

Even just watching it on a screen you get some sense of that.

[@manuellubian5709]

😮😮 I know that John made the decision to go diving himself down to 95 meters. I'm just wondering wouldn't it have been a more prudent decision to send the ROV instead down to that depth?

[@margomoore4527]

Don’t they need to send it anyway to retrieve an amphora or two?

[@margomoore4527]

Wouldn’t you think an expensive expedition like this would have a portable oxygen chamber on board?

[@arnhemseptember2009]

[@ronvagedes6313]

This looks like the first of two documentaries I watched a few weeks ago on this channel about the black sea wrecks, has this been re titled and re released?

[@mr-x7689]

Probably. Most documentaries channles do it, so they can milk the algoritm, and get the extra ad money and extra subscribers, as renaming it and re releasing it tricks youtube to push the channel. A lot of youtube channels do this sort of stuff all the time now days.

[@lukehorning3404]

[@alexpervanoglu7420]

Pervâneoğulları is the origins of my family surname dating from 1277 to 1322 when the Pervane region was formed and became a naval power with the Sinop and Trabzon region of Northern Turkey. The history is well focumented q With their battles against the Mingols ending with Gazi Celebi and the destruction of Pervane. Trade and military ships of this era would be an incredible find as these nautical battles were going on for millenia before this.

The Extraordinary Hunt For Preserved Ancient

[@Andrew.D.Gillis]

If it was a slow fill over thousands of years, you would have evidence of the lake shore beach the entire way to the modern shore not just 56km off the modern shore, unless there was a catastrophic flood from the Mediterranean, or global flood.

[@lidiamartin5245]

For them to allow for this to have happened, they would have to entertain the idea that the story of the flood is at least partially true. And they would never do so.

[@alka7145]

To get the evidence of the ancient lake beach, they needed to find a core (No 59?) that had metres and metres of beach evidence (mixture of finely ground shells almost as a sand as well as newer complete shells). If it is a slow, constant fill over thousands of years, you possibly can't find those thick layers of shell in the higher areas where the beach gradually but consistently moves inland.

[@Zyworski]

A 95-meter dive is insanely deep and too risky for the reward presented. Dee[p sea exploration is better done robotically than risking human life.

[@alka7145]

They dived to and recovered an amphora from another wreck at 95m in the first part of this 2 part documentary. They mentioned how dangerous it was.

At 35:00 in when discovering the ancient ship, what was the reasons saying it would take at least 3-4 days to prepare for the divers to go down?? Also, why is it always that these ‘discoveries’ are happening near the end of the trip, no doubt to add extra phony dramaI? I believe that all these adventures are fully staged and scripted.
