中文注释:探险家们从位于土耳其锡诺普黑海船只残骸附近发现这枚古时拜占庭钱币。几千年前,黑海还是个淡水湖。12000年前,冰河时代结束,来自地中海的咸水破坏了博斯普鲁斯海峡水质,黑海就变成了现在的状态-一片有毒,难闻且缺氧的水域,却将古代残骸保存完整。 图片为《国家地理杂志》2001年5月号的“黑海深处”一文而拍摄,未刊发 作者: Randy Olson
钱币 锡诺普 土耳其 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Byzantine Coin, Sinop, Turkey, 2001 Explorers pulled this ancient Byzantine coin from a Black Sea wreck near Sinop, Turkey. Millennia ago, the Black Sea was a freshwater lake. When the last ice age waned some 12,000 years ago, salt water from the Mediterranean breached the Bosporus Valley, transforming the Black Sea into its current state—a toxic, brackish, oxygen-deficient pool, perfect for preserving ancient wrecks.
