The source is AP, so I couldn't use the nice pic of the amphorae -- and, I couldn't locate the RPM original of it. Pain in the ass.

As opposed to ‘modern’ amphorae?...............

Thanks for posting this.

I went to the link, and it is interesting. There may be other shipwrecks there too.

Some worldwide organization needs to help them find and save these ancient shipwrecks and the contents of the ships.

Luv when they find such AND..kick history back another 500 years ! Is Ol’ GB in Anatolia still holding the title for “old Stuff” ?

Off the coast of Albany.

Albania has a very old and rich history, with a dizzying number of occupations by various ethnic groups and countries. The coast would have been well traveled at least from the time of the first Greek colonies.

The latest occupation was by Mussolini's Italian army. He launched his invasion of Greece from Albania, where he was promptly defeated. Hitler had to delay the invasion of Russia to come save his bacon.

Post-WWII the place was very weird. IIRC, the commie regime was allied with the Chicoms before the fall of communism.

Oh ALBANIA not Alabama ...
