My problem with that site (I've seen it before) is that there are no real prof of the claims.
What scuba diver? What archaeologists? Surely they have names and a workplace? Where and when did they "confirm" this?
I don't know him neither have a read any of his book so no comment here.
Does this world's foremost authorithy have a name? Where and when did he/she confirmed anything? Where is the paper from the University of London? Where is that roman fibula?
What leak? Where? When?
Where is the report on this? Official confirmation? Anything?
Is this true? Where is the reports for this? Photos? Is there anything official about this?
Basically, I'm not saying this is a lie or a scam, all this can very well be true, but extraordinary claims demand prof, not some obscure webpages on the internet. For taking any of this seriously I personaly need a lot more.
Quote:If he had only known what treasures he was destroying! In recent years, a scuba diver was spear fishing around Xareu Rock and found eight similar jars that he took home.
He sold six jars to tourists before the Brazilian police arrested him with the two remaining jars for illegally selling ancient artifacts. Archaeologists immediately identified these as Roman amphorae of the 1st century B.C

Quote:One of the world’s foremost authorities on Roman shipwrecks, Robert Marx, found more artifacts and confirmed this as an authentic Roman shipwreck.

Quote:The world’s foremost authority on Roman amphorae analyzed the clay in the jars and confirmed that these were manufactured at Kouass which was a Roman seaport, 2000 years ago, on the coast of modem-day Morocco. The Institute of Archaeology of the University of London performed thermo luminescence testing (which is a more accurate dating process than Carbon 14 dating) and the date of the manufacture was determined to be around 19 B.C. Many more amphorae and some marble objects were recovered, as well as a Roman bronze fibula (a clasp device used to fasten a coat or shirt).

Quote:We only know about it because of what Robert Marx learned before he was dismissed and what the University of London has leaked
What leak? Where? When?
Quote:Several hundred ancient Roman silver and bronze coins were unearthed near Recife, Brazil. Did these once belong to the castaways of the Salt Ship?
Where is the report on this? Official confirmation? Anything?
Quote: A tribe of white, mostly blonde haired, blue-eyed "Indians" has been found in a remote region of the Amazon jungle. Could these be the descendants of the shipwrecked sailors of the Xareu wreck? DNA analysis of these “Indians” will surely bring some interesting facts to light!
