We are lucky enough to live through one of the most thrilling archaeological discoveries in recent history, namely, the discovery of the elusive Bom Jesus Portuguese treasure ship that sank over five centuries ago. While archaeological findings first commenced in 2008, the shipwreck is considered one of the oldest and most valuable discoveries of our time and, thus, efforts to search for more artefacts and preserve those that have been found are still underway in 2024.
Dr Dieter Noli, the chief archaeologist of the Southern Africa Institute of Maritime Archaeological Research, noted that, like the Cape, the Namibian coastline was notorious for storms. When the team first set foot at the scene, they could not predict just how fruitful the excavation of the shipwreck would be. “It adds new meaning to the concept of the ship having being loaded with gold,” Dr. Noli told reporters.
