; "
Without
doubt
it
was a
royal
cargo
. And an
exceptional
one
, at that.
We
can
only
guess
how its
loss
,
toward
the
end
of the
14th
century
BC
,
affected
the
history
of
some
unknown
Aegean
kingdom
. The
varied
cargo
included
ten
tons
of
copper
and
one
ton
of
tin
, the
perfect
ratio
for
making
eleven
tons
of
bronze
,
could
have
equipped
an
entire
army
with
weapons
had they
reached
port
.
Instead
, the
ship
that
carried
this
invaluable
freight
crashed
against
a
rocky
cape
known
today
as
Uluburun
, on the
southwest
Turkish
coast
[…].
