I'm reading about the Uluburun shipwreck. Found in 1982 near Cyprus by a local sponge diver, it is the oldest found shipwreck in the world which still resembles the original ship and cargo.
It's dated to about 1300 BC, which puts it right in the middle of what we now call "the late bronze age".
Before this ship was discovered, scholars were sceptical about there being much international trade such a long time ago, but the find has changed that thinking.
