The Discovery of The Riace Bronzes (original diver footage)
Ойын-сауық
On the 16th of August 1972, whilst diving off the coast of Reggio Calabria, a Roman diver made an incredible discovery! Stefano Mariottini was diving at a depth of 8 meters in the warm waters of Marina di Riace, when he noticed a hand sticking out of the sandy bottom. At first he believed he had discovered a body. Understandably Concerned, he began digging relentlessly into the murky sea floor, until he suddenly saw a strange face staring back at him!
Incredibly, What Mariottini had discovered was in fact two bronze statues believed to date back to the year 450 BC. Now known as the Riace Bronzes, both statues are almost two meters in height and are considered to represent greek warriors. In the following days, divers tied ropes to the bronzes, and using air filled balloons, they carefully lifted the bronze statues to the surface!

What a thing to discover on the floor of the sea, a hand sticking out and then thinking it's part of a body, discovering it's a 2000+ year-old couple of statues.

The bronze statues of warriors were found off the coast of Calabria in Southern Italy in 1972. Art scholars believe they were made in Greece about 450 B.C. Making them about 2,470 years old. They are very rare surviving examples of their type because most ancient statuary was later melted down to recover the metal for other uses.
