A modern-day explorer embarks on a 1,500-meter dive into the depths of the South China Sea, uncovering treasures from two unfinished voyages that set sail 500 years ago.
One of the historic voyages ventured towards foreign lands, while the other turned back home, leaving behind a legacy of cultural and trade artifacts trapped beneath the waves.
The recent discovery sheds light on the rich history of maritime trade and cultural connections in the region, offering new insights into the interactions that shaped early global exchanges.
The findings have been featured in the CGTN documentary \"Silk Road Sunken Treasures,\" which premiered on December 28, highlighting the significance of these underwater treasures in understanding our shared history.
