Kemer to become centre of underwater archaeology by davidmorgan on Friday, 26 April 2019
(User Info | Send a Message)
An underwater archaeology museum will be established in the southern province of Antalya’s Kemer district in collaboration with the Culture and Tourism Ministry and Antalya Governors’ Office.

The Underwater Research Center’s instructor, Associate Professor Hakan Öniz, said the museum, where the materials removed from the world’s oldest 3,600-year-old shipwreck will be exhibited, will make Kemer the center of underwater archeology.

The world’s oldest shipwreck was found by Öniz and his team in the western part of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, paving the way for Kemer’s tourism landscape to change. Works have been initiated for the establishment of the Mediterranean Underwater Research Archaeology Museum in Kemer.

“The museum project was made three months ago and a special place has been determined in the third degree site of Idyros ancient city, which is still undergoing excavations in the center of Kemer. The museum will be established on an area of 3,000 square meters. The museum will display the world’s oldest commercial wreck, which was discovered in recent months and recently revealed. The ship was probably caught in a storm on the way to Cyprus, Crete, or another place in the Aegean and sank. Now an international team, including international experts such as Professor Cemal Pula, will start excavations in the shipwreck,” said Öniz.

    World’s oldest shipwreck found in Mediterranean, say officials by davidmorgan on Friday, 26 April 2019
    (User Info | Send a Message)
    A ship dating back some 3,600 years has been found off Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. The shipwreck, found by the Akdeniz University (AU) Underwater Research Center teams, is reported to be oldest in the world.

    Antalya Governor Münir Karaloğlu said that the 14-meter-long shipwreck was carrying 1.5 tons of copper ingots.

    “This wreck was probably caught in a storm on its way from the island of Cyprus to an Aegean region 3,600 years ago. The main load of the shipwreck is copper ingots. The typology of the ingots shows that it is a merchant ship of the 16th century. At the same time, this ship was probably carrying one of the world’s first and earliest industrial products. With these characteristics, we can say that it is a scientific breakthrough in underwater archeology. Also, the number of shipwrecks discovered along the Mediterranean coast has so far increased to 167,” Öniz said.

    The "oldest shipwreck" must be the 16th century BCE Kumluca wreck.
    And I wonder where the artefacts from the 1200 BCE Cape Gelidonya wreck are displayed.
