Ever wonder what an underwater archeological dig looks like? This diorama at the Museum of the Filipino People gives us a glimpse. The excavation site is in shallow waters near the shore, however, so barrel rafts rather than a ship could be used.

That looks pretty deep to me! Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love these dioramas in the national museum, they let us see a miniature and beautiful view of life..heheh
ReplyDeleteThat would be a super risky but extremely exciting job, I imagine!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at dioramas and this is fascinating! I've always marveled at underwater archeology.
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond my depth! If I were to do it again, I might become an archaeologist but not an underwater one!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet there are lots of sunken ships and other things in Philippine waters.
Interesting! What kind of artifacts are they excavating?
ReplyDeleteThat's one way to stay out of the sun.
