Today I will speak about a picture, that even is not important for the world, I like it so much, because it shows what I want to do when I have to work. The picture is about underwater archaeology , and shows a diver making a photography of some skulls with a special camera, in the deep of the sea. In a country like Chile, underwater archaeology can get an good develop.
From the time of the conquest of America to the present days, our coast have been navigated by many ships, however, all of them have experienced the dangerous waters of the Pacific, like the “Gollfo de Penas”, “Cabo de Hornos” or the “Estrecho de Magallanes”, for only name some of them. All those areas, with strong wind, waves and currents, have caused hundreds of shipwrecks, especially when the people used little ships, that were constructed just with wood. In addition, boats of the most diverse characteristics and historical moments, have been destroyed or forced to leave their loads, equipment and baggage, which are material evidence of different times, a true treasure of archaeological remains of our past.
Underwater Archaeology is a science that studies this remains and is defined by the physical environment in where the archaeologist work and for to have a scientific method of investigation. the person who work in this discipline is a professional diver who dominates, among others, technical indoor diving techniques, and underwater video and photography. He investigate the past looking for evidence to prove historical theories, or realize discoveries by themselves , that modify all established theories.
