Shipwreck’s ‘Chest Of Gold’ Find Could Solve 16th-Centυry Mystery

Archaeologists were alerted when a worker stumbled upon a collection of peculiar artifacts in Africa, leading to the potential discovery of one of the most significant shipwrecks ever found.

Over a century ago, a German treasure hunter unearthed a diamond in the Namibian Desert, in an area known as the Sperrgebiet or "forbidden territory." De Beers, an international mining company, and the Namibian government took control of the region, creating a famously restricted zone near the mouth of the Orange River.

However, during a routine shift, a worker stumbled upon something far more valuable than diamonds. He uncovered a treasure that had been missing for nearly half a millennium.

Perplexed by the presence of metal, wood, and pipes, he reached out to archaeologists for assistance.

Dieter Noli recalls surveying the site and spotting a 500-year-old musket and elephant tusks. He remarked in 2016, "It appeared to be a disturbed beach, but scattered around were bits and pieces."

"I thought, 'Oh my, this is definitely a shipwreck.'"

After excavating the area, archaeologists uncovered what they believe might be one of the most significant shipwrecks ever discovered.

While they cannot definitively prove it, evidence suggests that the vessel is The Bom Jesus (The Good Jesus), a Portuguese ship en route to India that never made it beyond the Southern Atlantic.

Loaded with thousands of mint-condition gold coins from Spain and Portugal, historians dated the ship between 1525 and 1538.

The cargo found on the vessel, including a chest filled with coins, matches the description of The Bom Jesus as recorded in a rare 16th-century book called 'Memorias Das Armadas,' which lists the ship as lost.

Mr. Noli added, "We deduced that the ship arrived, hit a rock, and capsized. The superstructure started breaking up, and the chest with the coins was in the captain's cabin, but it broke free and fell intact to the seabed. As it broke apart, a heavy part of the ship's side fell on the chest and bent some of the coins. You can see the force by which the chest was hit, but it also protected the chest."

Among the haul of gold, tin, and ivory were 44,000 pounds of copper ingots, which marine archaeologist Bruno Werz believes could have played a crucial role in preserving the ship.

He explained, "Normally, organic organisms would have consumed the wooden remains, but the toxic properties of the copper would have protected some of those materials."

The remains of the shipwreck are now protected by the diamond mine's security. Timber, muskets, cannonballs, and swords are kept damp, just as they have been for centuries. Like the secretive area in which it was discovered, most of these artifacts remain hidden from the public eye.

During a diving expedition along the HaCarmal coast in Haifa, Israel, an incredible archaeological find was made by a diver. The remarkable discovery consisted of a well-preserved crusader sword, estimated to be around 900 years old. The diver stumbled upon this historical artifact while exploring the waters approximately 150 meters from the shoreline, at a depth of 5 meters. Astonishingly, the four-foot-long sword was found concealed beneath a layer of shells and various remnants of marine life, providing a captivating glimpse into the past.
