STOCKHOLM (AFP) – A dozen previously unknown shipwrecks, some of them believed to be up to 1,000 years old, were discovered in the Baltic Sea during a probe of the sea bed to prepare for the installation of a large gas pipeline, the Swedish National Heritage Board said Monday.

"We have manage to identify 12 shipwrecks, and nine of them are considered to be fairly old," Peter Norman, a senior advisor with the heritage board, told AFP.

"We think many of the ships are from the 17th and 18th centuries and we think some could even be from the Middle Ages," he said, stressing that "this discovery offers enormous culture-historical value.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks for the pings and FReepmails about this, rdl6989, Fractal Trader, cajuncow, and GSP.FAN. As I said in private reply, I wonder if they went down at the same time, and for that matter, I wonder if most of them went down at the same time, with the rest going down later (suggesting the spot was a trouble area). To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. GGG managers are SunkenCiv, StayAt HomeMother, and Ernest_at_the_Beach

Thanks ct.

Very cool. I’m anxious to see if they can recover anything from those sites.

The Russians are coming!

They say we're going to have to pay more for our gas.

[SunkenCiv]

Ivan to find out more about these ships.

[GSP.FAN]

Please the Russians are building the North Stream pipeline.
This story will die a quick death.

[GSP.FAN]

It is interesting Russia and Germany bonding again.
The Russians also are working on a south field.

My company makes probes for undersea oil exploration. I don’t know if it is the same probe, but I know that our customer out of New Orleans is selling them as fast as we can make them. Most of the end customers are foreign.

Here's what's proposed.

It's scary to think about what kind of political influence might follow Russian control over whether Western Europeans freeze in the winter. Can you say "Finlandize"?

[GSP.FAN]

Russia has more political influence over Western Europe than ever..
Those idiots in the EU do not have clue...
