Mauro Biglino comments on the discovery of the wreck off the coast of Israel, the oldest in the eastern Mediterranean located about 90 kilometers from shore and dating back 3,300 years. This globally significant discovery highlights the extraordinary navigational skills of the ancients in biblical times, who were able to cross the Mediterranean without seeing the coast. At that distance, in fact, only the horizon line is visible. Probably, ancient navigators oriented themselves using celestial bodies, calculating the angles of the sun and stars.
