Världens hittills äldsta skeppsvrak hittat

Arkeologer har funnit ett antikt fraktskepp vid ön Kekova som tros härstamma från samma tid som Cheopspyramiden.

Quick Look

  • Ett 4 400–4 700 år gammalt skeppsvrak har hittats nära ön Kekova i Antalya, Turkiet.
  • Vraket, som beskrivs som en tidskapsel, innehöll ett 30-tal amforor med organiska rester som nu analyseras av forskare.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Vraket har daterats genom analys av amforornas form och tros vara från samma tidsepok som Cheopspyramiden. Området vid Kekova är känt för sina starka strömmar och många skeppsvrak.

Fyndet anses vara mellan 4 400 – 4 700 år gammalt, och därmed ungefär från den tid när Cheopspyramiden byggdes, säger professor Hakan Öniz, från Akdeniz-universitetet, till BBC.

Vraket påträffades nära ön Kekova, i Antalya.

Öniz beskriver det som en ”tidskapsel” som bevarats för eftervärlden.

Det finns ingenting kvar av båtens träkonstruktion, men väl de stora keramiska amfororna som man fraktade varor i. Dateringen har utgått ifrån formen på amfororna.

I en del av dem fanns det fortfarande rester från innehållet, som nu undersöks. Det beskrivs som en klibbig substans, som kan vara olivolja, kåda eller vin.

”Jag tittade inuti och höll på att svimma. Det är otroligt vad mycket som fanns kvar, det var inte bara fläckar.” beskriver arkeologen Karin Swoada, från Macquarie-universitetet i Australien.

Ett 30-tal amforor har bärgats, samt två stycken stenankare. Båten, som var omkring tio meter lång, var ett fraktskepp. Man tror att rutten gick antingen till Troja eller till Kreta. I området, som var svårseglat på grund av starka strömmar, finns det hundratals vrak.

Open Questions

  • ?Vad består den klibbiga substansen i amfororna av?
  • ?Vilken var skeppets exakta destination?
