What Would They Discover?

Adam’s team knew about their mission which was to go out and discover the areas that were once part of the Black Sea. However, there were other scientists too that researched the areas but this team became the first to explore it through advanced technology and with a team of researchers actually present there. Adam was looking for that clue which other scientists missed in the past. The team knew that this voyage could turn into their worst nightmare but they had to try and little did they know they found the most amazing piece of the history.

Dream Of Their Own

As they say, there is no certainty about life, the team was about to experience personally. The dream was about to become reality and they had every reason to enjoy because they found the most incredible thing that no other human was able to find in these years. The Black Sea which is famous for its mysterious nature was holding one more but this time it was destined to be found by this specific team who had sailed to find the lost areas but found something much more amazing. 

Many Miles

This mission started in 2015 and for straight three years team was working hard to find some evidence so that their mission could get some start. The team almost covered 800 miles of the sea floor and during this period of time, at some marked locations, they had collected around 330 feet of sediment core evidence, but they wanted more because this wasn’t something they could tale back to the lab as it won’t prove anything. The team was exhausted from all the work and they almost decided to give up. However, they changed their mind when they saw something lying on the bed of the sea. Nothing like this has ever been found.

The MAP Mission

No, they didn’t find any treasure map but it’s the name of the project, the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project (MAP) which is still in process. The main focus of this mission is to find unearthed evidence of the areas that were there before the Black Sea took over them. The team was hoping to find something valuable and that could lead the mission to some direction because it was already three years now and there was nothing concrete the team has found yet. But that morning their life was changed forever.

Why Is It Called The Black Sea?

The ancient Greeks named this sea as “Inhospitable Sea.” The sea was difficult to travel and due to its bad reputation and several hostile tribes who inhabited its shores made the sea almost unapproachable. But, after the Greeks took over the sea and its nearby areas they changed its name to “Hospitable Sea.” With the depth of almost 150 meters, its waters are filled with hydrogen sulfide which spread for almost 2 kilometers. There are no living organisms present in this area and hence the name. But something was there which proved why the Black Sea is also counted as the most mysterious place on the planet Earth.

Back To The Ice Age

After the Ice Age came to an end which almost drowned every other area. The scientists have no answer to the question of what exactly happened to the human civilization that lived along the edges of the sea? And there are no ways to find it out unit the MAP mission started. The project is finding the answers to some really hard questions that revolve around the Black Sea and about its past. The mission was simple, use the most advanced technology to discover former land surfaces but who knew that there was something else which was buried below the sea bed.
