Ancient shipwreck found off Turkey
Divers off the coast of Kekova Island in Antalya discovered the world's oldest known shipwreck, dating back approximately 4,700 years, between 2600 and 2400 BC, predating the Greek Dhokos wreck. At a depth of 30 meters, they found over 30 amphorae and three stone anchors. It is believed that the ship, which was about 10 meters long, was transporting olive oil or wine across the Eastern Mediterranean. Analyses suggest that the ship had sailed from the coast of the Levant heading west toward Troy or Crete at the time of its sinking.
