Or this one, but be carefull it hits you like a train.
) But the article proved me wrong.
well lady you are forgetting a few things here....1) One look at the pic and I thought that the statue was a charred body or a body covered with volcanic ash.(Blame my mobile
2) I am still wondering how could that fisherman pull out such a heavy statue out of water (500kgs if I not wrong).
I do believe the theory that it was found on land and not in water.Water would have eroded the statue by now.

sherlock holmeswell lady you are forgetting a few things here....
the statue is made of bronze - an alloy of copper and tin......as from the fig.(if it's the real one) we can see the green color exfoliation on the statue...which suggest the oxidation of copper....so, it the one reason which suggest the statue was in area with lot of moisture.....copper and it's alloy do not erode easily over time.because of the formation the protective oxide covering...so, there is real chance of the bronze statue being safe under water......
+.. yes the 500Kg of weight seems a bit too much but again there is bouncy which will lessen the statue weight under water..so, that the saute can be lifted(though not easily..)..
I liked what you said of bronze and the oxidation.Yes the oxide formed would have protected the statue from further oxidation.well lady you are forgetting a few things here....

if the fisherman boat have power lifting or even pulley driven system(which most of the boat these days have) then it won't be of much problem....I liked what you said of bronze and the oxidation.Yes the oxide formed would have protected the statue from further oxidation.
And I also agree to the fact that weight of an object reduces underwater because of buoyancy.But think of it......500kgs???
Hmmmmmm...
I will have to use some old formulas to calculate weight underwater.
I knew that...if the fisherman boat have power lifting or even pulley driven system(which most of the boat these days have) then it won't be of much problem....
under water weight can only be calculated if the volume of the submerged body is provided to you.....from where will you get that... under water weight = real weight - mass of water displaced by object.....
so, mass of water need, vol. of object....which we don't have...

aaahhhh.... don't worry.....I never doubted you....
yes maybe..he is true...So fine fisherman is telling the truth.
And most probably his mom was indeed unhappy when he brought his bronze catch home.

I have observed he is a very very smart guy.Very intelligent indeed!

btw, that green oxidation coating is known as Verdigris. But I believe that coat of verdigris may have already been on the statue when it submerged, as the percentage of dissolved oxygen in sea water is usually very low, and brine/sea water is also used to prevent oxidation. 
ya ,... knew that...Someone seems to have taken metallurgy a bit too seriously.
ohhhh myyyyySomeone seems to have taken metallurgy a bit too seriously.
