The “lost buildings / treasures” videos cause a generous amount of heartbreak. But please keep them coming. It’s very good to know.

I never realised the Nemi barges were actually recovered! So double-whammy of realising this and learning that they are now completely gone.

To be honest, I'd probably prefer ancient artifacts to be looted then destroyed. Then one may hope these looted artifacts may see the light of day in the future, even if that happens after out lifetime.

I probably wouldn't have believed the Nemi ships were ever real if they hadn't been recovered. That's incredible

That's a funny way of saying the Germans saved artwork from being bombed by the allies

So much was lost in Ww2, it is a great shame... I have great respect for the men and woman who have since worked to restore these treasures as best they can.

This video leaves me wondering over the course of history how much history has been destroyed by war. Obviously natural disasters have destroyed alot of very ancient history but cultures long ago seemed almost possessed to destroy some cultures entirely and would go to any length to do so, most likely even erasing its written or artistic history. Theres so much we will never know about history.

Many great artifacts, books, historical pieces. Have been destroyed intentionally, and unintentionally for centuries. It's a real shame

This has made me weep. I couldnt imagine the pain and suffering the people who brought the ships to the surface felt after just a few years they were destroyed. Both the sadness of knowing (possibly) your lifes work is gone AND the guilt/shame of knowing that because you brought them to the surface, they were susceptible to harm. Tragic.

The size of the ship OMG<br>Makes you realise that they were playing on another level. Ancient writers never lied.

Sometimes I don't know what I should be more surprised at: that so much antiquity and so many archaeological finds have survived the ages - or that anything actually has at all.
