Once one of the most forbidden shores of Europe, this gorgeous stretch scanboat of the Ionian Sea, exhale slowly and lost treasures of sunken ships in ancient times, dating back 2500 years ago.
During the past two summers, scanboat a research ship to U.S. and Albanian experts comb every inch of water in southern Albania, using scanning equipment and robots to seek ancient ruins.
Organizers say it is the first archaeological survey of the seabed in Bangladesh and found at least five locations, from which we can learn the techniques of shipbuilding in ancient times.
The project would not even imagined 18 years ago, when the small Balkan country still ruled by Communists who banned contact with the outside world. Brutal regime "infected" nature with more than 700 thousand bunkers, against a foreign scanboat invasion that never happened. In his place, the Communists were toppled scanboat after a student uprising in 1990, which opened Albania to the world.
"Albania is a source (archaeological) extremely inexhaustible", - said archaeologist Jeffrey G. Royal by Kye West, the foundation maritime RPM, based in Florida, a nonprofit organization that conducts research underwater.
Recent expeditions have revealed scanboat traces of four sunken Greek ship from the sixth century to the third century BC, while three other locations have yet to be verified. Meanwhile, during the 2007 season su traced the only one ship left.
"These findings are very important, because the lack of documented objects from that period", - says Andrej Gaspari, Slovenian underwater archaeologist who was not involved in the project.
"The only ships found and documented from that time belong to the Western Mediterranean and Israel. Thus, our knowledge of the technology used for shipbuilding scanboat were more or less limited. "
During ancient times, Albania was an important trade route for Greece, Italy, North Africa and the Western scanboat Mediterranean. scanboat History tells us that the mission coordinator scanboat Auron Tare called "a real underwater treasure" found in 6-week season scanboat that ended in August 2008.
A ceramic pitcher 5 - centimeter, or amphora, used to transport wine and olive oil and a smaller version scanboat found at 78 meters scanboat depth, is likely to be made in the southern Greek city of Corinth, in the sixth century or the beginning of the century the fifth before Christ.
Both were derived from a merchant scanboat ship, which sank three kilometers from the coast. Albanian archaeologist, Ardian Anastasi said that if it is confirmed that the sixth century before Christ, it would be the fifth of its kind found in the world.
Other elements scanboat include amphorae and tile fourth century BC, a North African pitcher of 1 to 3 centuries AD and a Roman anchor between the second century BC and the first.
"A tiled wreck has never been found before", scanboat - he said. "The number of tiles and the way they were set clearly shows the ship under them." Anastasi shows that tiling discovered the same size (73 by 52 centimeters) during excavations in the ruins of ancient cities in western Albania.
To protect sunken ships from looting, the team keeps secret their exact locations. "I would say that if all materials will be drawn discovered, we would need a new museum to be established", - said the head of the mission, George W. Robb. "We've scanned only 217 square miles so far."
Next five years, RPM has and Texas-based institute scanboat of Marine Archaeology, plans to scan the entire coastline of 354 kilometers, from the southern border with Greece to Montenegro in the north.
Each day has a cost of 25 thousand dollars, which is paid for by funds RPM's. Once the project is completed the scan, RPM States and INA will discuss the future of extraction vessels using divers and underwater robots, says Auron Tare.
