No other region of the world is so rich in sunken history as the seas around Turkey.

That whole area is rich with history. If it were a more welcoming area, I’d love to spend a couple months just exploring the area from the Hellespont and Constantinople to Antioch.

The ancient Anatolians, Medes, Persians, Phillistines, Phoenecians, Minoans, Greeks, etc. have always fascinated me. That area is almost certainly the most historic in the world. Even my ancestors the Celts are said to have been in Turkey at one time.

And no one knows this better than this great great man ... there are explorers and plunderers ... Turkey beware.

I remember in the late 60’s or early 70’s my father, who was a Navy diver, bringing back amphoras after one of his floats in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. I don't know what happened to them.

I’d love to dive one of those sites. Maybe someday. Without touching anything, of course. It’s amazing how much we’re learning from these sites.
