Scientists find tombs and archaeological vessels dating back to the “Mycenaean” civilization in Turkey
Archaeologists have found tombs and ancient vessels in the state of Izmir, western Turkey, that are believed to be more than 3,400 years old, and that their history dates back to the Mycenaean civilization.
According to the Turkish Anadolu Agency, it was found during the excavations that a number of scientists and experts are conducting in the archaeological “Yesil Ufa” hill located in the Bornova region of Izmir, under the supervision of Zafar Drin, assistant professor at Aegean University.
The agency quoted Drin as saying: The excavation team found important archaeological tombs and vessels dating back to the Mycenaean civilization at the Tell Yasi site of Yeşil Ufa.
The tomb site was used 5,000 years ago, and the excavation team specifically came across a group of tombs dating back to 3,400 years ago, according to Drain.
Drain pointed out that expectations indicate that the tombs belong to merchants from the Mycenaean civilization that prevailed in the islands of the Aegean Sea, Greece and the Mediterranean.
