Ancient shipwreck discovered near Kekova
The world's oldest shipwreck, dating from approximately 4,400 to 4,700 years ago, has been discovered off the coast of Kekova Island in Turkey. The wreck, believed to be a trade vessel from the Early Bronze Age, was identified through ceramic amphorae and stone anchors, with some containers still containing residues possibly of oil or wine. The site provides valuable insights into ancient Mediterranean trade and was found at a depth of 30 meters, with artifacts now being carefully conserved.
