antikythera 2014-2017
The 2,200-year-old Antikythera shipwreck was first discovered by Greek sponge divers in 1900. The site would eventually yield the most significant collection of Greek antiquities in history including bronze and marble statues, jewelry, furniture, luxury glassware, and the surprisingly complex Antikythera Mechanism. Diving was suspended on the 55-meter site after one diver died and two were paralyzed from the decompression illness. Ever since, archaeologists and historians have speculated about what ancient treasures remain buried beneath the seafloor.
