Extra Credit

My opinion on this is that I liked it because of what they are telling us. I like how they took 50,000 photos to make it look 3-D. I can't believe a loaded vessel was found in 70 A.D. After it was loaded it crashed into a sheer rock wall on the island of Antikythera and then it sank. The ship had a huge array of precious objects like the richest cache that was found in the Mediterranean. The wreck was between 135 to about 150 feet deep and this made the diver only be able to spend a few minutes looking. I can’t believe they stayed with the Greek government and the reek government. They stayed at the Institution. They have a return to Antikythera that begins in September and end about October 12th.   There are divers that visit about 114 years ago and 38 years ago. There is only a small portion of the wreck about 20 percent that was explored. They use a brass computer every day to look. The sites can be located everywhere. They use the 3-D maps to look at the bottom.  The humans can only go down 1,000 feet and stay on the bottom for 40 hours. They would have liked to do it remotely but they weren't able to do it. Over all, I really enjoyed this article and the facts.
