Core Insights - The article highlights the significant archaeological discoveries made in the South China Sea, particularly the excavation of two ancient shipwrecks at a depth of approximately 1500 meters, marking a historic breakthrough in underwater archaeology for China [2][8]. Group 1: Archaeological Discoveries - The "Deep Sea Warrior" manned submersible discovered a large number of ancient ceramic jars during its 500th dive, located about 150 kilometers southeast of Sanya, in the South China Sea's northwest slope [2][3]. - The excavation of the two shipwrecks, which were found to contain thousands of artifacts, demonstrates the prosperity of ancient maritime trade along the Maritime Silk Road [4][6]. Group 2: Technological Advancements - The "Deep Sea Warrior" submersible, developed with over 95% domestic technology, has a working capacity of up to 4500 meters underwater, enabling Chinese archaeologists to explore previously unreachable depths [3][4]. - The successful extraction of artifacts involved advanced technologies such as high-resolution imaging and 3D scanning, which aid in documenting and preserving the archaeological findings [5][6]. Group 3: Exhibition and Preservation - The "Deep Blue Treasures" exhibition at the China (Hainan) Nanhai Museum showcases the archaeological findings and emphasizes the importance of artifact preservation through a dynamic approach of simultaneous excavation and exhibition [7][8]. - The preservation process for artifacts extracted from the deep sea is complex, requiring careful cleaning and desalination to prevent deterioration due to environmental changes [7][8].
