And they weren't much more than 2000 years ago.

BTW, these speakers are probably correct about the North Pacific, but they are wildly incorrect about the North Atlantic.

North Atlantic shores are not at all hospitable for human life.

Quite a few were lost at Salamis - what happened to the remnants? At least bronze ramming prows should have survived, even if everything else did not. Here at least the search area would be reasonably localized.

Good example. I do hope that the studies of sea bottoms at places of known large ancient battles eventually turn up some that have been in anoxia conditions.
