An archaeologist in Turkey, tipped off by rumors of treasure hunting in the country’s east, has found an ancient settlement, perhaps up to 3,000 years old, dating from the days of the ancient Middle Eastern kingdom of Urartu.
The site is nestled in the mountainous region of eastern Anatolia, near the city of Erzurum, and includes what is believed to be a temple and a 50-meter-deep water tunnel, possibly left behind by the region’s dwellers between the 13th and 6th centuries B.C., the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
