New Life-Forms Found at Bottom of Dead Sea

No, they are not new. They are "new to science".

Can we be sure? Just because we've only just looked, doesn't mean they've been there forever...they might have only been there for a few days before we looked.

Thanks for telling us.

We're all stupid and may not have realised the word "new" was being used in its normal sense.

That's because "seeing this diversity in a place we had never thought was there before" is very exciting, she said.

The above statement confirms that the sighting is only "new to mankind", not necessarily new to the Dead sea itself

Holy crap! They're raising the dead.
