Some of the 30 bowls from the 12th century discovered by the octopus

This is a weird story from Korea and this story also makes the scientist feel dizzy. It is a story that combines all the great mysteries and exciting discoveries of the sea – an octopus hauled onto a fishing boat with valuable ancient pottery attached to its suckers.

Conjuring up visions of ancient mariners and sailing ships laden with fabulous wares, Korean fisherman Kim Yong-Chul pulled up more octopus, most of which had shards of pottery attached to their tentacles.

Before and after: The bowls are carefully restored to their former glory after nine centuries underwater.

Now the chance discovery is being hailed as one of the great undersea treasure discoveries of modern times. Officials at the National Maritime Museumin Seoul say the pottery dates back to 12th century, when the Koryo Dynasty ruled the Korean peninsula. The treasure has a high value and now, they can dig the secret of the past time. Can’t you see how value octopus is?

Do you think they have to catch all the octopus from now onwards?
Or do you think the whale hunter will change their career as anm “octopus hunter”?
