Atlantis Clues: Archaeologists Find Mythical Metal Orichalcum In Shipwreck Off Coast of Sicily (1-8-15) ~ https://youtube/watch?v=eKsU375H7Iw 2,421- views Professor Sebastiano Tusa, an archaeologist at the office of the Superintendent of the Sea in Sicily, claimed the metal they had discovered in the remains of the ship was probably the mythical and highly prized red metal orichalcum. Analysis of the metal ingots revealed they were made from an alloy of copper and zinc with traces of nickel, lead and iron. Speaking to Discovery News, Professor Tusa said: Nothing similar has ever been found. We knew orichalcum from ancient texts and a few ornamental objects. The wreck dates to the first half of the sixth century. It was found about 1,000 feet from Gelas coast at a depth of 10 feet. If the metal discovered by Professor Tusa and his team is really the mythical orichalcum, then it lends support to the idea of Atlantis as being a real place.
