13th Century Mongolian Ship Wreck
Off the coast of Takashima Island, in Japan’s Kyushu Island, the wreck of a 13th-century Mongolian ship was discovered. Scientists believe that the discovered ship was one of the 4,000 that the Kublai Khan sent to destroy Japan; they all lie in the ocean now though.
The discovery came with some nice findings as numerous ancient Chinese artifacts, including ancient pottery from the 12th century were found at the wreck site; they paint a vivid picture of how old the ship that bore them really is.
