    Default Treasures from the wreck of the 'Unbelievable'

    A Netflix film.

    Now I watched this documentary (mockumentary) and was 95% fooled.
    Now I thought at the time, one or two things didn't seem true or to good to be true:
    1)
    The incredible looking Solar /sun disk was too modern looking, just how did the ancients make the face which looks like it was cast from latex mould, well it was doh.
    Fake but beautiful creation though.
    2)
    Some of the details of the expedition and the rules and conditions for reporting treasure trove material, so much gold artifacts.

    All based around this story:
    Quote The story goes like this: In 2008, a shipwreck was discovered off the coast of East Africa that is said to have contained a stash of treasures belonging to Cif Amotan II, a freed slave from northwest Turkey who lived between the first and early second centuries and who had amassed great wealth. His legendary collection of art and artifacts was placed on a ship, the Unbelievable, which sank. Divers rescued more than 100 works — giant sculptures of sea monsters encrusted with coral and semiprecious stones; golden monkeys, unicorns and tortoises; as well as a goddess whose face looks oddly like Kate Moss, a marble pharaoh that resembles Rihanna and a bronze statue of Mickey Mouse, covered with centuries of marine decay.

    I watched this "Treasures from the wreck of the Unbelievable" after watching another very interesting and recommended documentary on Netflix called
    "Lost Treasure hunters"

    which had the effect of lowering my BS Detector.
