Imagine mapping history literally pixel by pixel! 🌏 China’s deep-sea archaeologists just pulled off a real-life underwater treasure hunt, investigating two ancient shipwrecks in the South China Sea. The catch? They needed over 100,000 photos to create HD maps of the sites – that’s more snaps than your entire Instagram feed! 📸
Chief Assistant Feng Wanli and team spent a year unraveling mysteries 1,500 meters below the surface. The relics? Think Silk Road time capsules – porcelain, pottery, and artifacts that rewrite trade history between Asia and the world. 🏺✨
Psst… Want the full story? CGTN’s documentary ‘Silk Road Sunken Treasures’ drops soon – consider it Indiana Jones meets Black Mirror vibes. 🎥 This isn’t just archaeology; it’s mind-blowing tech meets ancient history!
