Divers with a specialized unit of the Carabinieri, Italy’s military police, have uncovered a 2,000-year-old shipwreck on the ocean floor off the northwest coast of Sicily. According to the BBC, local fishermen alerted the Carabinieri to the shipwreck, which was full of hundreds of ancient Roman vessels called amphorae. Italian spearfisherman and freediver Giacomo De Mola posted a video on Instagram on August 8 describing “without a doubt, the most incredible discovery of my life.” What he thought was a large rock turned out to be an ancient ship full of hundreds of pieces of well-preserved pottery.
