Archaeologists discover 1,000 Roman artifacts in a lake in Switzerland

On Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, archaeologists have discovered a ship with more than 1,000 ceramic objects and very well-preserved swords dating from 20 to 50 AD. To avoid looting, the spectacular find was initially kept secret.

The moment of discovery was particularly impressive for underwater archaeologists Fabien Langenegger and Julien Pfyffer, who dived into the Swiss lake. 

It is believed to have been the cargo of a cargo ship that was supposed to bring Swiss-made kitchenware to a Roman camp. One chest was dated to 17 AD. The remains of the cargo ship have not yet been found in the lake. In recent decades, Roman ships have been excavated in both the Rhine in Germany and the Rhone in France./CNA
