Home / Nepal / Nepal 3 57

In the high mountains of Nepal, there are many areas where ancient shipwrecks are being exposed by the melting ice. In the last couple of years I have seen thousands of eroded ancient shipwrecks. I must evaluate hundreds of images before I choose to download one due to the fact I need images that my users can identify as shipwrecks. The shipwrecks are a part of history and most of what I find are on mountains are nowhere near water!  I would enjoy working with someone to help retrieve samples of the wood to have them analyzed using the Carbon-14 dating method and possibly correlating the results of several samples from different areas. It would be interesting to see if the dates have a narrow distribution.
