Only discovered almost by accident because the divers were blown of course by a storm (or had to hide from one) and decided to dive there instead of where they where looking for.

An amazing piece of engineering.

Watching the documentary, I gained even more respect for so-called "ancient technology." They were pretty damn smart. And I don't think their smarts came from fucking aliens, either. Fabulous stuff, man!

But seriously I think he owns it now.
