A Valuable Discovery!
The elephant tusks were an incredible find as it showed the archaeologists why exactly the Bom Jesus sailors were heading to India. This was an incredible look into life back 500 years ago and what their goals and ambitions were. Ivory was huge back then, with its consumer value skyrocketing. Since they found so many of these elephant tusks, there had to be even more treasures hidden deep in the earth! It was time to keep looking!
