Diving beneath the waves offers a unique lens into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture, and few endeavors capture this better than underwater archaeology. Professor Jiang Bo, a leading expert in the field, played a pivotal role in the salvage of the legendary Nanhai No.1 shipwreck, a discovery that has shed light on ancient maritime trade and cultural exchanges.
In our conversation with Professor Jiang, he delves into the vital role volunteers play in underwater archaeology. Their passion and dedication are the driving forces behind many successful expeditions, allowing teams like the Saudi-China Archaeology Team to push the boundaries of exploration. This collaborative spirit not only enriches human knowledge but also fosters a deeper appreciation for preserving our submerged heritage.
The Saudi-China Archaeology Team exemplifies this spirit, embarking on missions to explore uncharted waters and uncover hidden histories. Their work not only contributes to academic understanding but also inspires a new generation of young global citizens to engage with and protect our shared cultural legacy.
