Oldest shipwreck found in Turkey
A team of archaeologists has uncovered shipwreck debris believed to be the oldest of its kind in the Mediterranean, dating back between 4400 and 4700 years. It is located off the coast of Turkey near Keçova Island. More than 30 pottery jars and three stone anchors were found buried at a depth of about 30 meters, with the vessel's period being identified based on the decorations on the pottery. These discoveries contribute to understanding maritime navigation during that early era. The artifacts are now undergoing restoration and study to display to the public and to document the region's maritime history.
