900-year-old sword in the Mediterranean Sea
On October 16, a diver discovered an element that remained submerged for almost a thousand years on the seabed off the coast of HaCarmel, in the Mediterranean Sea near the city of Haifa (Israel).
It is a one meter long sword with a 30 centimeter hilt.
Shlomi Katzin, the diver who found the sword at the bottom of the sea, also found ancient stone and metal anchors, as well as pottery shards.
