Where is the oldest known (2400 years) intact shipwreck?

The reason for the formation of hydrogen sulfide in the Black Sea.

The wind waves enrich the water with oxygen only to a depth of several tens of meters of the seas and oceans surface, while the whirlpools deliver the water enriched with oxygen to a depth of more than 10 km. (Mariana Trench)  How does this happen:

The waters of the lakes, seas and oceans of the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, and the waters of the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, forming giant whirlpools. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_gyre

As is known, everything that rotates, including whirlpools, has the property of a gyroscope (whirligig) to maintain the vertical position of the axis in space, regardless of the rotation of the Earth.

If you look at the Earth from the side of the Sun, the whirlpools, rotating with the Earth, overturn, due to which the whirlpools precess, resulting in a vertical movement of ocean water. http://goo.gl/AM5g1s

The presented theory can easily be verified by relation between the oxygen content and the whirlpools rotation speed.  Based on the map of the depths and currents of the seas and oceans.  The higher the current velocity, the greater the oxygen content and the lower the hydrogen sulfide content. https://youtu.be/ihM1I5r_MUg https://youtu.be/X6PavdKXIE8

List of seas with low oxygen content:  Black Sea. East of the Mediterranean. Gulf of Mexico. Norway fjords.  As we see, whirlpools are involved not only in the horizontal circulation of the sea and ocean waters, but also in the vertical. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadzone(ecology) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ocean-dead-zones/

The coefficient of oxygen content can be expressed mathematically by the following formula O = V / G V - whirlpool rotation speed, km / h. G - depth of the reservoir, km. Black Sea 0.2 / 1200 = 0.00016 Sea of Okhotsk 1/800 = 0.0012

Vertical movement of ocean waters can be convincingly modeled using simple experience. For this, a half-filled vessel with a rotating liquid (bucket, tumbler, mixer) must be rotated around itself (in orbit). If the liquid in the bucket rotates to the right, the bucket around itself (in orbit) must be rotated to the left.

Cool post Vitaliy! I thought I would leave here a fun speculation about the oldest unknown shipwreck. I would be willing to bet that there are many ships several meters or so underground, near the Richat Structure in Mauritania.

The landscape shows signs of large-scale flooding, or something washing/dragging across it.

There are three good videos on this guy's youtube channel explaining. Here is the first: https://youtu.be/oDoM4BmoDQM

Love your post. All this talk of GeoProjection made me wonder - will MMA 12 support using EPSG codes or similar for different projections? It would really help me in GIS work to be able to specify projections that way. GeoProjectionData in 11.3 isn't as useful as being able to directly input the SRID.

We are working on adding support for EPSG codes, both for projections and datums, and also for their combined CRSs. We expect it to be included in one of the 12.x releases of the Wolfram Language, soon after version 12 itself.

Thanks a lot Jose, I look forward to it. Thanks for all your hard work on the Geo* functions!

Great post! Thanks for sharing. I was curious about the existence of other shipwrecks in the Black Sea and in order to answer this question I started a little computational excursion. Using GeoEntities we can discover shipwrecks:

enter image description here

We can retrieve the "DateSank" and "Position" properties using EntityValue:

enter image description here

We can observe that half of them sank during the second World War:

enter image description here

Using their GeoPosition we can find their Wikipedia articles via WikipediaSearch:

enter image description here

One of the wreck articles can not be retrieved via its "GeoPosition". So, we need to search it using its name instead:

enter image description here

Now lets map the locations of the shipwrecks with GeoGraphics:

enter image description here

enter image description here

Using the property "ArticlePlaintext" we can create a quick summary with WordCloud:

enter image description here

enter image description here

Another interesting property of WikipediaData is "ImageList", but it retrieves all kinds of images from the article. So, we can try to filter the images using ImageIdentify:

enter image description here

Amazingly ImageIdentify successfully identifies even the type of ship in this particular case. And we can tweak ImageIdenty for our particular problem and remove the non-ship images:
