Discovered in 1982 at 8.5 kilometers south east of Kas, Uluburun ship draws our attention because of its age, its finds and its so called Royal cargo. This was a Bronze Age ship dating to 14th century with a cargo of copper ingots and various objects originating from different parts of ancient world. Discovered at 45 meters depth by a sponge diver Mehmet Cakir, Uluburun wreck was one of the most difficult ships to excavate because of the great depth of the wreck. First dated to Early Bronze Age by the Turkish archaeologist, Uluburun wreck was excavated by Institute of Nautical Archaeology and Texas A&M University starting from 1984.

excellent post, thanks Trudy

I noticed, so sorry and changed the text. Hope I am forgiven!!

And favorite cities outside Turkey?

Hasankeyf is one of the most photographed attraction. The buildings there are tens of thousands of years ago, could of been the inspiration for the Catalan artist Gaudi! It hurts, though, to see the red brick modern additions built on without any thought of how it blends in with the rest of the surroundings.

Lack of funds and neglect from the Turkish government!

Now though, the Turkish authorities are stepping up their cultural genocide by going ahead with their plans to flood this profoundly beautiful site that is of world cultural significance.

no doubt: Numero Uno for me:  ISTANBUL

Edirne Selimiye Camii (Sinan)

Bursa (Ottoman Camii)

The unforgettable  wonderland of Cappadocia

Forget Antalya and Marmaris, a  béton Mecca totally overcrowded by European tourists

Ironically, of all resources why have you chosen TLC for feedback and advise?
