A 3,300-year-old shipwreck discovered in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel contains hundreds of preserved urns, possibly carrying oil and wine.
The shipwreck—which the Israeli Antiquities Authority called the world’s oldest discovered—was found by London-based natural gas company Energean while investigating the sea bed with a robot for an environmental study. The ship’s remains were found around 56 miles (90 kilometers) from the coast of Israel, at a depth of 1.1 miles (1,800 meters) below sea level.
