if anyone else is confused by the title: it was used for 1,600 years, and has been submerged for 1,200 years (so you might say it's 2,800 years old...)
I'm interested to hear more about how this guy quit his finance job and founded an institution so that he could do what he loved doing most full time. Power move!
Im interested in how long these treasures will last now that they are on dry land. War, greed, weather. Will they last another 1200 years? Why excavate them? I'm thinking Indiana Jones, not responsible archaeology.

What kind of a source is core77.com?
Good find!
