The Ancient Shipwrecks Of The Black Sea | Lost Worlds: Deeper Into The Black Sea

Four years in the making, this two-part television series follows the world’s largest Maritime Archaeological Expedition in exploring how the Black Sea formed after the last ice age. Could it have been the origin of Noah’s flood?

Led by charismatic chief scientist Jon Adams, the team send space aged remote survey vehicles 2 kilometres underwater to scan the seabed. In seeking geological clues, they quickly make remarkable finds: over 70 shipwrecks almost perfectly preserved in the chilly, oxygen-depleted water of this near landlocked sea. The films reveal extraordinary ships from the Ottoman, Byzantine, Roman and Greek civilisations.

They include discoveries that are unique worldwide: the most perfectly preserved Roman vessel ever and the only preserved Greek warship known. The series witnesses the highs and lows of the handpicked international team of world-class scientists, on their remarkable journey into the past. Their adventures at sea include extreme dives to depths of 100m, tense recovery operations struggling to salvage amphora from Roman ships and costly equipment failures that threaten their entire operation.

Me...I need to go to bed...
Youtube...wanna see what's on the bottom of the black sea?
Me...sweet...I'm in...I don't need sleep

The blasé attitude towards the lesser important ships (acheologically speaking) I can sort of understand their disappointment but the dismissing & cracking jokes about them rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm not known for being sentimental & I thought it was uncouth af considering those wrecks were ultimately the graves of people who died probably horribly. Why are you acting like petulant children? Have some respect. Dr. Helen Farr seemed to be the only one who could reflect humanely. The others we almost angry they kept finding unimportant wrecks. So callous & unprofessional.

Without oxygen, What would happen to human organic materials such as skeletons. When exploring these wrecks at depth in the Black Sea, would it be possible to find human remains

[sunny-sqci]

there has been some back and forth within historians, if the event that created the black sea, was the inspiration for the flood myths described in many ancient tales.

They are passing on all those ottoman wrecks., .ill take one!

[margomoore]

You could hide a lot of ancient shipwrecks and even buried ruins, in 6 meters of sediment.
They’re not looking DEEP enough. They’ll figure it out eventually.

Well duh.... The date of the wreck should be easy to figure out! 55:21 Just look at the expiration date on that Byzantine coffee can!..

Ruzzian Black Sea fleet is a part of that collection now. ❤

Actually I have met some of the staff at my work. The whole project is mesmerizing and as a Bulgarian person I am happy to tell about the project to children and parents in our science center.

As someone who lives close by the black sea i was always jealous of the turquoise waters from everywhere else, but never really noticed that this sea is special too.

I've always been fascinated by archeology. I've been on one dig in my local area. We found Native American artifacts that were around 1000 years old and found evidence of a flint trade, as flint is not native to our area.

It's himbling to know you're the first person to see an object since it went into the ground 1000 years ago. It makes you wonder about the person who made it. What was his name, what he looked like, who his people were.

can i have my 1hr of life back please??? you spent more time on the crew and ship, then you did on the wrecks!!!

[TruthHunter]

What a wonderful trip back in time! Traveling back in time without a Time Machine! Moment frozen in Time! What a fantastic experience just for me to see what you saw!

[rsk]

poor editing at the end... come on man

[jasonrogers]

We don't have a white sea because that would be racist. 😝

[buffalorick]

The movie “Black Sea “ makes your mouth water looking at those gold bars! Jude Law. How about sharing a glass of that wine you’ve found on Roman galleons still drinkable I hear? How many precious coins and stones have you found? Great documentary

[WayneTheSeine]

Thank you for not starting out with a forced ad about some nasty green powdered drink or disgusting looking meat stick.

More of the world is facing the truth of the Biblical record of history and if examined from thst perspective, would solve many "mysteries"... ❤

[INHunter]

So, it ends with them finding a jug of 1, 000 year old wine? Nice.

[Ravenseyes]

That was BORING! And they get to the best part and it ENDS!
