depths number one gree's ancient
computer this amazing artifact was
discovered in 1900 it is called the
antia mechanism it's also considered to
be the first analog computer it's
incredibly complex construction and the
fact that it has been on the ocean floor
for thousands of years makes it an
amazing mystery it is believed that this

just a theory and the actual function
Still Remains a mystery number two
Apollo 11's
engines Apollo 11 went into space in
1969 and was one of the most famous
launches in space history after the

Amazon CEO decided that it was time to
find the engines he sent off on an
expedition and he found the engines he
brought them off of the ocean floor in
secret he wanted to wait until it could
be proven that what he found actually
belonged to the Apollo 11 he found two
engines and other parts after they were
tested and restored they were put put on
display at the Kansas Cosmosphere and
Space Center it was truly an amazing
find number three the ancient city of
thonus most people think that cities
being lost to the sea is something that
only happens in science fiction and
Greek mythology movies this is not the
case thanks to Melting ice caps and
other factors actual cities have sunken
into the sea in 2000 a team set out in
the ocean and they came across the lost
city of thonus it was known by the
ancient Greeks as heracleon it has been
under the sea for thousands of years off
the coast of Egypt parts of the ancient
city have been brought to the surface so
they could be studied we've learned a
lot about the materials used back then
and their wealth and importance
scientists were not able to pull the
entire city out of the water however
finding it and bringing up parts of it
is one of the most amazing discoveries
in history number four the doomed
emeralds in 2010 a man named Jay movich
from Key West Florida bought a treasure
map from a friend in a bar he was an
amateur diver and a part-time treasure
hunter after getting the map he went
diving deep in the Gulf of Florida he
discovered emeralds that were worth
millions of dollars in all he pulled 80
lb of emeralds off the ocean floor the
origin of the emeralds is unknown after
60 Minutes did a piece on his Discovery
it started a federal investigation
dealing with the investigation and
waiting for his payout proved too much
for movish and he took his own life this
is the reason that the emeralds are
considered to be doomed number five the
Lazarus fish also known as the
seelan up until 1938 it was believed
that this fish had been extinct for over
60 5 million years when a marine
biologist was going through a local
Fisherman's daily catch off the coast of
Africa it was discovered that this fish
actually was not extinct not long after
a second fish was discovered in
Indonesia most fishermen consider this
to be a bad catch and they won't try to
sell it for food this is the reason why
you go to a restaurant and you don't see
Lazarus fish on the menu it was however
a huge Discovery since this fish was
believed to be gone for millions of
years number six pirate ships and
Gunnery Pirates aren't just fictional
characters in stories told by sea
captains Pirates actually exist and the
most well-known pirate is Blackbeard in
1718 he was forced to sink his ship
after it became stranded off the coast
of bubert in shallow water in 1966 the
Queen Anne's Revenge went down the ruins
of these ships have been found under the
sea in 2013 the North Carolina
Department of cultural resources was
diving and they found cannons that
weighed over 2,000 lb each so far over
20 cannons have been found there are
plenty of sunken ships on the ocean
floor and these are just a couple of
examples number seven new species of
sharks you may think that every species
of shark has been discovered however
marine biologists often find something
new this is the case in the Indian Ocean
in
2012 Paul cleren a graduate student at
Moss Landing Marine laboratory in
California LED a two-month fishing
Expedition and brought up hundreds of
species of sharks they found a new
species that doesn't look like your
typical shark one of the new species had
a serrated spine which is like nothing
that has ever been seen number eight
Jurassic mic
microbes in 2012 the oldest living
organisms on the planet were found
microbes from the Jurassic era were
found deep below the sea they've been
there for over 86 million years and had
next to nothing to feed on because they
barely had enough oxygen to sustain
metabolism they were barely alive when
they were found when it comes to Amazing
Discoveries the Jurassic microbes
definitely earned their spot as one of
the 10 incredible and shocking things
found in water depths number nine the
Lost Silver of the Third
Reich in
1941 Britain's SS gapa a cargo ship
carrying close to 240 tons of silver was
torpedoed by the Nazis it sunk about 300
Mi off the coast of Ireland up until

of Tampa found over 61 tons of silver on
the floor of the Atlantic Ocean and it

20% of the total silver that was on
board when the ship sunk to the ocean
floor number 10 the Mythic
cracken the Kraken has been an undersea
legend for centuries fishermen believed
in its existence based on the bodies
that washed up on shore for centuries
some of the bodies were over 40 ft in l
in 2001 Marvel specimens were found
finally in 2012 actual footage of an
adult Kraken was released the Discovery
