Country: Turkey A group of scientists has built an exact replica of a Lydian trade ship found near Kas¸ in Antalya, and will sink it to establish an archeology park. The original ship, which sank 3,300 years ago near Uluburun, is the oldest ship found to date.

The 360 Degrees Historical Research Study Group, the Kas¸ administrative office and the Kas¸ Municipality jointly built the replica. Project Coordinator Osman Erkurt said the idea had come from Kas¸ administrative official Nurullah Çakır. �It took us 40 days to build it,� he said, noting that Ankara University, Israel's Haifa University and Texas University had helped them. The ship, 14 meters long and five meters wide, has attracted a significant amount of attention, he said.
