Giant Ships of Rome

I saw the same program on the History Channel. I thought it was very informative and their conclusions were well thought out. I have a hard time believing that the ships were just a hoax for propaganda purposes. We all know that the Romans, and Greeks before them, were amazing engineers and I have no doubt that they were capable of building ships that large, despite the technical details that say such ships aren't possible. Of course, if there is a lot of skepticism regarding the finding of the ships, then I'm curious what evidence is used to support such conclusions. Caligula was over the top anyway, so the fact that he would use state funds to build major ships isn't such a stretch. Still, I think the debate will continue for a long time until more evidence can be uncovered.

Just a thought!
