Naw. That giant spear belonged to a Nephilim giant, maybe Goliath.

I love this stuff. The surprisingly complex Antikythera Mechanism alone captures my intense interest.
Wow. The machining on that thing alone is incredibly impressive.

The common people of the ancient times thought the world was flat.
Seafarers, and especially sea captains and navigators knew better.
But they kept the knowledge to themselves.............

That was a rather good decision based on the reactions to that "heresy" in some quarters.

Looks Greek to me "Antikythera", meaning in Greek - Antique Theory.

The wreck is too deep to dive safely using regular scuba equipment, so the divers had to use rebreather technology, in which carbon dioxide is scrubbed from the exhaled air while oxygen is introduced and recirculated. Yet it was discovered by sponge divers in 1900.
What kind of SCUBA gear do you suppose they had?
