Explore the secret treasures of ancient underwater cities

There are many people who are keen on treasure hunting, and maritime traffic has been rising since the Bronze Age. The sea is usually capricious. For thousands of years, countless ships have been swallowed up by the sea. There are even many cities flooded by sea water. Now let's explore the secret treasures of ancient underwater cities.

First of all, the mystery of Eric Kay

The mystery of Eric Kay

It is said that in Elikai, there is the templo mayor of Poseidon built by Ionia. Poseidon's faith is absolutely supreme here. Due to the invasion of Asians, this important city was trampled and temples were abandoned. In a rage, Poseidon immediately brought the earthquake disaster to the city. In the blink of an eye, Eric was swallowed up by the sea. The depths of the mainland became Wang Yang, and even the treetops were submerged in the sea. After this catastrophe, passing ships can see underwater streets and rows of trees, and Poseidon's bronze statue of Daqing still stands tall. However, where Eric is has always been a great mystery in history. Greek archaeologists and paleontologists have been conducting seabed surveys and data collection in the area centered on Corinth Bay in order to salvage related relics. According to the detection results, the crust in this area has sunk by 1.870 earthquake 10 meters, and the surrounding rivers injected a lot of sediment into Corinth Bay, completely submerging Elikai.

This makes people feel that solving the mystery of Eric Kay seems more distant.

Second, the ruins of Tyre

Tiruoyuan is an island, where the ancient prosperous central city disappeared. It is said that the city was built in 1 195 BC. At that time, there were shipyards on both islands at sea. Around 950 BC, the seawall and anchorage connecting the two islands were built, making Tyre a famous fortress port at that time. According to records, around 333 BC, the Tyres surrendered to the Eastern Expedition Army of Alexander the Great of Macedonia. Before that, it was in its heyday, then it gradually declined and prospered again under the rule of Rome. However, the location of its port and the method of large-scale construction are not known to the world. Father Adryan Poibal, a famous French archaeologist and Jesuit priest, organized a large-scale investigation team to carry out archaeological work on this relic. As a result of the investigation, the site of Tyre Port with a depth of 3-5 meters was confirmed. The breakwater is 8 meters wide and 200 meters deep, followed by the second breakwater, 250 meters long, which can distinguish the traces of ships entering and leaving. In addition, it is understood that there are supporting freight yards, shipyards, docks and other relics here. As a result, this Roman colonial city around the 2nd century AD began to be known. Father Puwadbal believes that this seaport city is extremely prosperous because of trade, which has played an important role in the spread of oriental culture along the Mediterranean coast.

Third, the oldest underwater city in ancient Greece.

On the eastern coast 200 kilometers north of Benghazi, Libya, there is the port of Apollonia built by ancient Greece. Most of this ancient port city has now sunk to the bottom of the sea. The port of Apollonia, one of the largest colonies in ancient Greece, was built in 63 1 year BC, and became an important export port of grain in North Africa under Roman rule around 90 BC, which played an important role in the Roman period. The archaeological investigation team of Cambridge University, headed by N·C· Flemink, conducted an investigation on this submerged site from 1958 to 1959, in order to find out the scale and facilities of this ancient seaport city. They found the streets, houses, sarcophagus and bowls of the bronze age in ancient Greece from the bottom of the sea.

From this analysis, this city was built in the early bronze age of ancient Greece and is the oldest underwater city seen so far. It occupies an important position on the trade road to Crete, and it is an important commercial port for exporting crops produced on fertile land around Watga Bay.

Fourth, look for the treasure of "Closvenor" on the seabed.

Klosvino

The story dates back to1June 782 15. On that day, a three-masted sailboat "Closvenor" left the port of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and filled the smoky Indian Ocean with sails. There are 150 passengers and countless valuables in the car. On August 4, when sailing to the southeast corner of Africa, a strong storm blew the ship to the coast. The sailboat rushed to the cliff under the combined action of wind, waves and tides. Soon, this dilapidated sailboat was buried at the bottom of the sea with huge treasures and several sailors who failed to land. The sailors who escaped by luck wrote books about shipwrecks and jungle adventures, which spread all over the world and caused a sensation. However, what interests people most is the huge treasure on board, which attracts groups of treasure hunters to look for it. Decades have passed, and some people's dreams of finding underwater treasures have not been shattered. With the improvement of salvage ability, some people still want to rally, and it seems that they have the determination not to stop until they get the treasure. However, where is the Crosvenor now? Is there such a huge treasure on it? Were these treasures stolen secretly? This is still full of mysteries for those who are eager for treasure hunting.
