A shipwreck believed to be over 2,000 years old has been discovered off the coast of Sicily near Mazara del Vallo, and the site features incredible items from the Roman period.
A fisherman and free-diver named Giacomo De Mola initially found the site while surveying the seabed, the BBC reported Sunday.
When his scanner located what he thought was a rock, he decided to dive in to get closer.
According to Italy’s Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli, the site was “one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries of recent years.”
Video footage shows a diver carrying a light while moving over the amphorae to show its height and depth.
