Reason #124 why shipwrecks are invaluable to history

The "Jockey of Artemision," a life-size bronze Greek statue of a boy riding a horse dating to around 140 BCE. It's rare to find bronze statues so large -- most of them were melted down at some point because of the value of the metal. This one survived because it sank in a shipwreck, only to be discovered in the 1920s.
