"Black archeologists" plundered the ship of Columbus
The bureaucracy and confusion in the determination of authenticity was found in 2003, the famous Explorer Barry Clifford of the flagship of Christopher Columbus – "Santa Maria" may have cost humanity several incredibly valuable monuments of history.
On the eve it became known that the dive to the ship, which was the discoverer of America is already established for certain with the aim to find ways of raising it to the surface, recorded the fact of the looting of the vessel by "black archeologists". Yet managed to establish that from the bottom of the pirates raised a few guns, which, by the way, was established the authenticity of the "Santa Maria" (the diaries of Columbus, the guns are described as detailed as possible).
Barry Clifford, commenting on the incident, noted that the loss of valuable artifacts is an incredible omission, is guilty of all of those who so long to decide the fate of the ship. According to him, with such a valuable discovery had to work as quickly as possible, so as not to give criminals a chance. And they are using the most modern equipment, although this time, a find could find and made by hand metal detector, the full advantage of the opportunity.
About when the gun was stolen, no one can say, as after the discovery of the "Santa Maria" to her for 11 years, no one was immersed. And hope that the values are simply naive, as is likely, they have long been flaunt in private collections.
With regard to further operation of the vehicle, before the end of the summer it intends to raise to the surface and send for reconstruction. But the confidence that will implement its plans, not as a specific plan for the operation, which is complicated and not in the best condition of the ship, yet to be developed.
Not to mention another rather interesting fact. Barry Clifford is not only famous for the discovery of the "Santa Maria", but the fact that he has found the flagship of the Corsair ship of Black Sam Bellamy "whydah", on Board which found the treasure, estimated at $ 8 million. Hunters flooded values are unable to pick up from the ship not a single coin, and the current good luck of the ship of Columbus, they may be regarded as a kind of revenge.
