Mysterious Stone Structure Discovered Beneath Sea of Galilee In Israel
- ColinWright 13y agoDifferent source, same story (nearly word-for-word - haven't checked completely), some discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5526545 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5526545 Discussion there is closed now, so if you have something to add, this is the place. Added in edit ... I've checked, and they are pretty much word-for-word. Out of interest, I did notice the page size versus the text size. There's about 5 KB of text here, in a 146 KB page, and that's just the HTML, not the images, etc.

- merlincorey 13y agoToo big and too close together, according to the previous discussion. Also the ships that would need such ballasts were much larger and also possibly not invented so might not have been anywhere around there.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoActually we established that the correctly sized/designed ships were contemporaries but the interesting question left was how deep was this body of water then, versus now.
