The Black Sea is probably a well filled archaeological treasure trove waiting to be tapped. I hope the scientist get most of it first, not the black market robbers.
Would be interesting to see if it will be possible to approve or disapprove the "Deluge theory", about the a possible chain of events leading to a major flooding, or not, after the last Ice Age.
I don't think black market robbers have the ability to go get stuff 5,000-7,000 ft underwater. That requires quite a chunk of funding and it's not an easy operation. It's not like breaking into a tomb at ground level. Anyone who has the skills to pull this off is probably on the list of people to contract the work out.
