The oldest shipwreck in the Mediterranean is from about the same time - 1400 B.C. the Late Bronze Age. All that survived were ceramic jars, large copper ingots, gold amulets, some gold rings (but not The One Ring) and a few swords. The wood was long gone. The wreck was quite deep as the divers could only work 20 minutes at a time.

This guy from England is finding 3400 year old chariot wheels in a few feet of water. Come on now.

From what I remember about this story it's mostly barnacles.

But the shapes, etc. point to the possibility of chariots and wheels.

“some gold rings (but not The One Ring)”

Sure. That’s what you want us to think. It is Precious to you, isn’t it?
