In other words until we actually found a wreck and could observe how it was built did we come to understand that Herodotus’ description was accurate.&lt;p&gt;BUT THEY DONT PUT A PICTURE OR DIAGRAM IN THE ARTICLE.&lt;p&gt;They pulled a “Herodotus” on us and I am pissed.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Nile shipwreck discovery proves Herodotus right</title><url>https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/mar/17/nile-shipwreck-herodotus-archaeologists-thonis-heraclion</url></story>

I read the translation by Robin Waterfield. There are other good translations. What you should not do is download any old version you find online. Bad translations ruin the book.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Nile shipwreck discovery proves Herodotus right</title><url>https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/mar/17/nile-shipwreck-herodotus-archaeologists-thonis-heraclion</url></story>
