In 1982, a sponge diver spotting 'metal biscuits' on the seabed uncovered a royal ship lost for 3,300 years
A Turkish diver's find in 1982 led to the discovery of the Uluburun shipwreck. This ancient vessel carried ten tons of copper, tin, and glass. It also held ivory, ostrich eggs, and a gold scarab linked to Queen Nefertiti. The cargo shows a sophisticated trade system existed thousands of years ago. The ship's remains are now in a museum.
