Chinese submersible marks 500-year-old kilometer-deep wreck

中国潜水器在千米深处勘探沉睡了500年的沉船

China conducted its first archeological exploration of the No. 1 wreck in the slope undercurrent of the northwestern South China Sea on Saturday. The "Deep Sea Warrior" manned submersible dove 1,500 meters to photograph the area and place permanent map markers.

周六，中国在南海西北部的斜坡暗流中对1号沉船进行了首次考古勘探。“深海勇士”号载人潜水器下潜1500米，拍摄该地区并放置永久性地图标记。

在南海的深处，有两艘沉睡了500多年的古代沉船，它们见证了中国先民的海上丝绸之路，也蕴藏了无数的历史秘密和文化财富。这是中国首次在深海发现大型古代沉船，也是世界深海考古的重大突破。

这两艘沉船分别被命名为南海西北陆坡一号沉船和二号沉船，它们都是明代弘治至正德年间（1488—1521）的商船，分别从中国和海外运载着大量的货物，在南海西北陆坡约1500米深度的海域遭遇了不幸的命运。一号沉船遗物以瓷器为主，推测文物数量超过十万件，其中有许多精美的青花瓷、白瓷、彩瓷等，反映了当时中国陶瓷工艺的高超水平。二号沉船遗物以大量原木为主，初步研判是从海外装载货物驶往中国的古代沉船，可能携带着一些珍贵的异域物品。

It is amazing that those timbers are still in one piece after being under water for soooo long.

令人惊讶的是，这些木材在水下浸泡了这么长时间后仍然完好无损。

It was the shipreck from the ming dynasty. So many porcelain which i think will be delivered to thr northern part of china as this porcelain was made by ancient porcelain village in china.

这是明代的船。这么多瓷器，我认为会被运到中国北部，这些瓷器是由中国古代瓷器村制作的。

John Yossarian

If they were meant for northern China they would have been shipped on the Grand Canal

I think they were meant for export to other countries

如果是运往中国北方的，它们会被运到大运河上

我认为这些瓷器原本是要出口到其他国家的

They shipped porcelain to trade with other asian countries, also India and all the way to the Gulf or the Red Sea where other traders got it into European markets

他们运送瓷器与其他亚洲国家进行贸易，也与印度进行贸易，一直运到海湾或红海，在那里其他贸易商将瓷器运入欧洲市场

These porcelains were exported out via the Maritime Silk Road that connected Southeast Asia, China, the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian peninsula, Somalia, Egypt and Europe. The date of artifacts dating back to the reign of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty (1506-1521). Likely destination to be Southeast asia as the trade routes were reestablished after a brief cessation of Chinese trade in the 14th century due to internal famines and droughts in China.

这些瓷器通过海上丝绸之路出口，这条路线连接了东南亚、中国、印度次大陆、阿拉伯半岛、索马里、埃及和欧洲

文物的年代可以追溯到明正德皇帝统治时期（1506-1521年）。可能的目的地是东南亚，因为14世纪中国因国内饥荒和干旱而短暂停止贸易后，贸易路线得以重建。

What would be interesting is finding the ice age outlet for the Yangtze river and the ice age civilizations the lived on it's banks near the sea. The ice ages actually last long than the warm periods and that history was buried under the hundreds of meters of water and mud, crushed by the waves but some of it could still survive buried by ten thousand years of sediment.
So want happened to the China ice age civilizations crushed by hundreds of meters of sea level rise and what can be found of them.
Ice age civilizations one the great questions about humanity yet to be answered to any extent at all.

有趣的是，找到长江在冰河时代的出口，以及生活在长江岸边的冰河时代文明。

实际上，冰河时期的持续时间比温暖时期长，这段历史被淹没在数百米的水和泥下，被海浪压碎，但其中一些仍然可以在一万年的沉积物中留下来。

因此，人们对被海平面上升数百米摧毁的中国冰河时代文明以及能从中找到什么感到匮乏。

冰河时期的文明是关于人类的一个重大问题

Britain is mad at this they are trying to lay claim to the treasures even tho these are chinese treasures

英国对此感到愤怒，他们正试图对这些宝藏提出索赔，尽管这些是中国的宝藏

Please visit London museum where you can see many of these Chinese and African artefact.
This is why they are called the great Britain,do we knows they have invaded almost all the world except for only 24 countries.

请参观伦敦博物馆，在那里你可以看到许多中国和非洲的手工艺品。

这就是为什么他们被称为大不列颠，知道吗，除了24个国家没有被入侵，他们几乎入侵了全世界。

One of Admiral Zheng He Treasure, gigantic ships?
5 times bigger than the Caravelas Christophorus Columbus used to "Discover" America.

郑和下西洋的宝藏之一，巨型船只？
