Thanks Tim.. What an amazing story, I love it. Imagine coming upon that ship, what a sight. I recently heard the great flood theory of the Black Sea, that is truly a mind bender isn't it? It makes perfect sense......imagine finding a building 12 miles offshore. I can't wait to explore the Mayan stomping grounds for the next two weeks... Scott

The Black Sea, a fascinating place. But He compared the sea to a giant bathtub, with steep sides and no drain. Because no river feeds into or out of the Black Sea, the water is still and doesn’t circulate oxygen to the bottom What about the Danube, Prut, Dniester, Dnieper, Don and Kizil just to name some of the larger ones (many small rivers also). When I was there (years ago), I was struck by the water not being salty. I remember reading years ago that HS (hydrogen sulfide) was dissolved in the water. Maybe that accounts for its preservative properties. Sorry, just a geography freak. lurqer
