"Minos gar ... ektisato seaman and now Greek mostly kept him at sea ..." (Thucydides, coffee maker A 4) About ALOS Text Photo: Claus Mentogiannis Commercial Diver (Photo coffee maker - camera - Director) Post About ALOS in approving the UFR TEAM Underwater Filming & Research and author .... Claus Mentogiannis. PHOTO: Claus Mentogiannis coffee maker "Just beside the cart collection vessels, alongside the aspirator we deposit the vessel 52. Want to upload carefully, because it is full of sand and heavy. We are waiting. "He says Chatzidaki Hope, director of underwater archaeological survey in Crete. "Gently, with Nike Marnter cave to get to the excavation site. Concluding the wreck start to finish some underwater shots and in the end will move the vessel. I surrender my camera to win and very carefully hug the vessel. I press the button airflow inflating the BCD to be able to balance the extra weight. The vase is indeed heavy, had to fill almost the entire jacket to begin and have upward buoyancy. Going slowly think that the vase I have this moment in my lap is 3.800 years. In my mind began spinning the idea of number, 3,800 years ago, some other people, some other hands touched this vessel. At first impression prevailing just another coffee maker ancient container. But looking carefully think about the time, how many things we have in front of us that have an age and remain unchanged? On the surface, on board since xentythika went and approached the vessel again, I watch carefully. I tried to imagine coffee maker the people who took them, I find evidence of time on it. A magical coffee maker power was fascinated with ... Crete, coffee maker Gulf of Mirabello, in June 2006. 3,800 years after a research team led by archaeologist Underwater Antiquities of Taxation and Doctor of maritime archeology Hope Hadjidakis, dives for the fourth consecutive year in the first Minoan shipwreck ever found!

PHOTO: Claus Mentogiannis Thucydides in the History of the Peloponnesian War, says the legendary figure of King Minos and the legislature, as the first thalassocrats secured the coast from pirates and protected sea routes for trade. Minoan ships, in which King Minos and the Cretan dominated the Aegean, were for research of underwater coffee maker archeology for more than half a century 'ghost ships'. Wishful thinking and unfulfilled dream of a whole generation of researchers, remained stubbornly preserving hidden for four millennia their secrets. The evidence to date the existence of the ships of the era of Pax Minoica, located mainly in iconography, coffee maker such as depictions coffee maker cameos, vases, wall paintings, and ship models, as for example is the clay boat from the area of the Monastery Odigitrias Asterousia. Although through the centuries hundreds of ships sunk in the Aegean, Cretan and Libyan Sea, the tangible existence of a Minoan coffee maker ship was a distant dream for every scholar of ancient navigation and shipbuilding. The first underwater surveys began in 2003, with geophysical water in sea areas of eastern coffee maker Crete. Specialty echelon of the Department of Geology, University of Athens, using instruments underwater research and surveying the bottom coffee maker began the first steps in identifying potential targets. A side scan sonar (Side Scan Sonar), with scan range of the torpedo 200 yards, as well as a high-resolution Multibeam sonar (Multi Beam), illustrating the topography of the seabed.

The sea in the abovementioned areas have depths of over 100 meters and izimatogennesi according to geologists is only a few centimeters per 1,000 years. Therefore, ancient shipwrecks in this reserved area as best not affected by the force of the waves. The low proportion of marine deposits, gives us a good chance to not be deeply buried in the sand and leave visible traces, which help in locating. During the primary survey identified over 20 targets coffee maker at depths up to 120 meters from their shape - three of them accounted sunken planes, probably from the period of World War II. The seabed coffee maker in most areas were sandy or sludgy, and were visible grooves of Cal
