They also discovered a cave in the area a few years back where they found remains of cave men and later sivilisations, we also found lead ballasts close to one of the river mouths a year back, but the ship to which they belonged lies quite shallow so what was there has allready been taken, but if theres one the possibility for more is there or am I being hopefull? Just wondering
Check out this recent find at Red Sea Mystery Wreck and yes, that's the bell lying there in the debris field. If there are any Maritime Archaeologists out there I would to hear what you have to say.
