In a search for the DAKAR submarine in the eastern Mediterranean, a group of expert underwater explorers, authors of the «discovery of the Titanic», have found an ancient wonder that has rested on the ocean floor for more than 2000 years.
The discovery of this shipwreck is located between the most important commercial centers of the classical period, the ports of Rhodes and Alexandria. With it, we can question the long-held theory that ancient sailors lacked the skills to navigate long distances across the open sea, and, therefore, were forced to make their trips near the coast.
«This finding is revolutionizing our understanding of how trade was made 2000 years ago,» says Tom Dettweiler, general manager and executive vice president of the Nautical Corporation. «We have found more than 2,000 amphoras, used for the trade and transport of wine and olive oil, in addition to other classic commercial items. «
This finding, in addition to corroborating and discovering new techniques used by classical cultures in the management and knowledge of navigation, once again emphasizes the importance of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in international relations. It also shows the value that humanity has given to the olive tree and its precious nectar: Olive oil. The two have been forever linked.
