Please, longer footage in general, your topics are great but many fall short of any interesting watching because of your short posts.

Italy is so rich already in ancient artifacts, they could as well put it in auction.

Too deep for divers to work. Special gases needed at this depth. But a robot could excavate this treasure trove.

Being fair, this would be a LOT more interesting if they had found it off the coast of Japan or something.

Those people 2000 years ago were waiting for their Amazon order. Now they know where it ended up.
