World’s oldest shipwreck, as old as Great Pyramid, found near Turkey’s coast

Scientists have discovered a shipwreck off Turkey’s coast, believed to be 4,400-4,700 years old, around the time Egypt’s Great Pyramid was built. The 10-metre-long vessel, which likely carried cargo across Mediterranean Sea, has been hailed as the oldest shipwreck ever discovered. Ceramic pots on the seabed, along with their contents and decorations, helped archaeologists date the find.
