There’s little left of the ship itself but based on clues from its cargo — including pottery vessels — a research team I was part of has tentatively dated the wreck to around 2700-2400 BCE. That’s about 4,500 years ago. Prior to this discovery, the world’s oldest shipwreck was a wreck off the coast of Dokos, in Greece, thought to have been from abo
