Archeologists have discovered the world's oldest shipwreck off the coast of Turkey, dating it to between 4,400 and 4,700 years old.

The structure of the ship has not survived the nearly 5,000 years underwater, but its contents of clay jars have been preserved surprisingly well, with some still containing traces of what they transported more than 4,000 years ago.

The archeologist who found the vessel said it was a nearly 33-foot long trade ship transporting goods across the Mediterranean and originated somewhere on the eastern Mediterranean coast.

So I was reading today that if in fact that structure on this deserted island that sort of looks like a tripod, plane-sized, three-armed thing, if they can get to it, I think we'll know within a week.
Did you see the reason they can't?

Mach- they have to take machetes to get through the jungle, and then there's some crabs or something.
Giant meat-eating crabs-
... attacking them.
I have not.
