Just off Caesaria in a shipwreck.

Quote:

The wreckage was "revealed in a submarine survey of the Ancient Authority's marine archaeology in recent months," the IAA stated on its Facebook page.


"The findings tell the story of two ships that crashed on their passengers, during different periods, probably when they tried to drive or find shelter from storms," the authority said in their post.

"This image, of the 'Good Shepherd,' is known in ancient Christian art as a symbol of salvation; it is a parable of Jesus as the merciful shepherd of mankind, or as the one who has shown the protection of man or the testimony of his believers," the IAA explained.



Pretty cool.
