A Greek merchant ship dating back more than 2,400 years has been found lying on its side off the Bulgarian coast.

The 23m (75ft) wreck, found in the Black Sea by an Anglo-Bulgarian team, is being hailed as officially the world's oldest known intact shipwreck.
The researchers were stunned to find the merchant vessel closely resembled in design a ship that decorated ancient Greek wine vases.
The rudder, rowing benches and even the contents of its hold remain intact.

I was pretty excited about the reports from Yenikapi finally coming out, but I think the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology project is going to produce some of the most interesting information for a long time to come.

Reported…so sad

“The archeologists were stunned to find that it looked like the ship that decorated Ancient Greek wine vases.” Why were they surprised ? One would assume that Ancient Greek artists knew what ships looked like. It seems that archaeology continues to confirm that these mold paintings that we dismiss as fanciful are in fact records of what old ships actually looked like.

Hey there, I typed in something random about wanting local girls and ladies close by your zone just to see what would pop up, and surprisingly, I landed somewhere that actually worked. Usually, I’m skeptical of those kinds of phrases, but this time, I found myself chatting with women who were upfront and honest about what they wanted. I liked how casual it all felt, no pressure, no games—just flirty fun. Before I knew it, I had already lined up a meet with someone who lived only a short drive away, and it felt almost too easy.

Good for you, but here we are rather concerned with model building and, I think, rather want to keep it that way. Pass your way and have a good day.
