I think you guys should know about artemission bronze which was discovered in 1926artemission 1.jpg
The Artemission bronze is also called God from the seas,it is an ancient Greek sculpture,it was discovered from the sea off cape artemission in northern euboaAidipsos.JPG
It was discovered in1926 but further excavated in 1928,at the site of the shipwreck that occurred no earlier than mid second century.It was unfortunate that much is not known about the wreck because it's exploration was abandoned when a diver died in 1928 and was never resumed.There were debate on who the statue represent whether Poseidon or Zeus on the lost of the attribute held in the finger's right hand,there were assumptions also on who created the work but there is no way of knowing for sure who created the work because much research was not done on itartemission 2.jpg
