The arm of a bronze statue was discovered at the underwater ruins of Antikythera

Divers have returned to the site of the Antikythera shipwreck and discovered a new treasure trove, this time of bronze and marble statue fragments.

The “Return To Antikythera” team found items like a bronze arm that leads scientists to believe there are more statues buried around the wrecked vessel.

The divers in partnership with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports recovered the ancient relics at the site between September 4th and 20th.

Experts believe the ship carried a large quantity of luxury items, hundreds of which were recovered by legendary underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau in 1976.

Perhaps the most interesting find to come from the wreck is the celestial calculator known as the Antikythera mechanism which is believed to have been able to display dates, planetary cycles and eclipses among other uses.

While the finds so far have been eye-opening, the researchers plan to return in the spring to uncover more of the sites watery ruins.
