In a shipwreck off the coast of Turkey, hundreds of ancient ceramics have been discovered, all perfectly stacked in their original positions.

The Late Hellenistic-Early Roman Period pottery plates, trays, and bowls were discovered in Antalya's Kumluca area off the shore of Adrasan. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, also paid a visit to the underwater archeological site.

Ersoy stated that the cargo ship was around two thousand years old in a news release following the dive. In order to safeguard them during transit, the ceramic objects were packed within one another and plastered with raw clay. This storage technique let the nearly undamaged ceramics retain their original colors, patterns, and surface characteristics.

Ersoy went on to say that they offer extremely useful information on production and packing methods, adding that the objects were being conserved by the department's regional laboratories for conservation and restoration. The cultural legacy of the globe as well as their nation would greatly benefit from this discovery.

As part of the Culture and Tourism Ministry's "Heritage of the Future" initiative, which aims to expedite archaeological studies and excavations in significantly shorter time frames, the cargo ship was excavated.

More than 400 shipwrecks have been found in the region between Patara and Mersin alone, according to the minister of culture and tourism, who also highlighted the extensive underwater explorations along the nation's coasts.

According to Ersory, their academics are working in these areas with great rigor and dedication, and the explorations have the potential to provide both scientific research and future tourist tourism. Every shipwreck offers a fresh window into their history beneath the waves. The public is shown the results of these painstaking digs by organizations like the Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum.

According to Hakan Öniz, an associate professor at Akdeniz University who oversaw the excavation, archaeologists found rocky clusters of thousands of plates in the area. A section of the area will be made accessible to diving tourists once the shipwreck excavation is finished.
