Ah, the ocean… covering about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, that’s a whole lot of water. So it really shouldn’t be a surprise that we’ve only explored a paltry 5% of this mysterious underwater world. Personally, I have a bit of a fear of being in open waters. But fortunately, there are people who dedicate their lives to discovering what lurks beneath the surface. Maybe they’ll find a cool new species of aquatic life, or maybe they’ll find an old boot. If you happen to be Frank Goddio, maybe you’ll find the remnants of an ancient lost city in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Egypt. Wowzers…

One can only imagine how Frank Goddio and his team felt when they first made the discovery (for more information about this incredible find, check out franckgoddio.org). And this begs the question… what else might we find in the depths of the ocean?
