Wait a second, the boat was found on the waterfront? You mean the coastline hasn’t changed in 2000 years? Another proof the GW is a hoax...
It could have been a contender.
Cardo Maximus street was the location of the very first Zoomba class.
The coastline has changed. The boat was found buried several feet underground in what is now dry land.
“It is a Roman sewn ship from the 1st century AD. The technique of sewing the ship is known from earlier periods, from the time of Histra. One of the oldest boats of this type was found at the site of Zambratija near Umag. This specimen from Poreč is one of three boats found on land that are not part of an underwater archaeological survey,” Bartolić Sirotić, an archaeologist from the Regional Museum of Poreč, told Jutarnji list before adding.“This finding is significant because it is well preserved and has many elements that are very rarely seen. These are primarily the formwork, ribs, and keel. In years, it will be possible to make a preliminary reconstruction of the vessel.”
The discovered boat is five meters long, although an archeologist revealed to Jutarnji list that it was in fact a bit longer. It is 1.70 meters wide and had a sail. It was well preserved because it was at a certain depth in the soil and could not be penetrated by oxygen. Certainly, a significant role in its conservation was played by the sludge with which it was covered.
The archaeologist points out that the very context of the findings is very interesting because Poreč was once an ancient colony. Excavations also show what the waterfront of Poreč once looked like. It was more recessed and lower than the present. The boat was found at an ancient pier.
