Čudesno blago pronađeno na dnu švicarskog jezera
EXCLUSIVE: Story from Jam Press (Roman Shipwreck Hoard) Perfectly persevered treasure from 2,000-year old shipwreck found by divers Divers have uncovered a stunning haul of perfectly preserved treasure from a 2,000-year-old Roman shipwreck lying at the bottom of a lake. Hundreds of ancient objects were found resting on the lakebed – exactly where they settled when the vessel sank centuries ago. Remarkably, while the boat itself has long since vanished, its cargo remains largely intact. The incredible discovery was made in Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland, after aerial photography in November 2024 spotted signs of submerged heritage. Follow-up dives and a full excavation in March 2025 revealed the extraordinary find, as reported by creatorzine.com. The operation is being led by the Cantonal Archaeology Office of Neuchâtel (OARC), alongside the Octopus Foundation and the Archaeological Service of the State of Fribourg. In a statement, officials said: “The richness and diversity of this collection of goods, in an excellent state of preservation, make this discovery exceptional, unique in Switzerland and in the inland waters north of the Alps.” Experts believe the cargo dates from between 20 and 50 AD and once belonged to a Roman merchant vessel. Archaeologists said the find is particularly rare as the goods were not scattered, but preserved in a tight cluster – still reflecting how they had originally been packed and transported. But the race is now on to protect the fragile site. OARC warned the wreck is under threat from erosion, boat anchors and even looters. In a statement, the organisation said the cargo is exposed to “erosion of the lake bed, the anchoring of pleasure boats… and above all acts of vandalism and looting”. They added that the most vulnerable items have already been recovered as a precaution. The haul includes hundreds of intact ceramic vessels – such as dishes, plates, bowls and cups – produced across the S. 31 Mar 2026 Pictured: Story from Jam Press (Roman Shipwreck Hoard) Perfectly persevered treasure from 2,000-year old shipwreck found by divers Divers have uncovered a stunning haul of perfectly preserved treasure from a 2,000-year-old Roman shipwreck lying at the bottom of a lake.

Arheolozi su bili iznenađeni bogatim blagom iz rimskog doba starim 2.000 godina koje su pronašli na dnu jezera Neuchatel u Švicarskoj.
Ronioci su otkrili čudesno blago na dnu švicarskog jezera koje možda ne izgleda kao škrinja zlata iz dječje predstave, ali ima slično veliku vrijednost za historičare.
Ostaci rimskog trgovačkog broda otkriveni su na dnu jezera Neuchatel, gdje su ležali dva milenijuma, tiho čekajući svoje veliko otkriće.
Izuzetno otkriće
U olupinama su skriveni rimski kratki mačevi zvani “gladius” (po kojima su gladijatori dobili ime), amfore s maslinovim uljem, keramika i razni alati, prenosi New York Post.
Otkriće je iznenadilo čak i iskusne stručnjake.
Bogatstvo i raznolikost ove kolekcije izuzetno dobro očuvanih predmeta čine ovo otkriće izuzetnim, rekli su arheolozi o nalazu, koji datiraju na početak naše ere, između 20. i 50. godine nove ere.
Pored bogate kolekcije, ronioce je iznenadio i način na koji su vrijedni predmeti bili raspoređeni na brodu.
Sve je bilo uredno složeno, kao da je neko upravo uskladištio robu u skladištu.
Najavljena izložba
Nekoliko stotina posuda iz centralne Švicarske, španske amfore za ulje, kotači bojnih kola i alati pokazuju da su Rimljani vrlo dobro poznavali logistiku.
Dragocjeni artefakti će prvo biti konzervisani, a zatim izloženi u Muzeju Latenium u Hauteriveu.
Arheolozi se nadaju da će blago otkriti više o trgovačkim putevima i proizvodnji robe, a možda čak i o ljudima koji su plovili švicarskim jezerima prije hiljada godina.
