Members of the Eastern Sea Association and the Van Search and Rescue Association on Sunday found stones and tombstones with varied markings in Türkiye’s largest, famend Lake Van.
Speaking to journalists, Cumali Birol, president of the Eastern Sea Association famous that professional divers from each associations performed a dive at a location between the Ahlat and Tatvan districts of Bitlis province.
He elucidated that through the dive, they got here throughout a big space containing graves, with crosses on the tombs, aside from a stone with the Kayı (an Ottoman tribe) stamp on the water’s floor.
“In the area, there are also streets adorned with mortars, grinding stones and rocks. With this new discovery, we have designated a beautiful area for diving enthusiasts. It’s an amazing spot for snorkeling,” Birol defined.
Highlighting the great thing about Lake Van, Birol mentioned it’s a pristine, clear and pure marvel with a singular construction.
“There is a structure here that can’t even be found in Egypt. These areas create a different vibe in terms of tourism. Egypt is considered one of the most important diving spots, but the more beautiful microbialites (underwater fairy chimneys), pearl mullets, the Russian shipwreck, the remnants of Adilcevaz Castle, traces of life in the village we found in Esenkıyı, and evidence of life in the newly discovered location today are leading us toward a very different route. We are also inviting diving enthusiasts to Adilcevaz and the Lake Van Basin,” Birol famous.
Hinting at their intention to ahead the captured footage of their findings to students for thorough evaluation, Birol emphasised that they’re dedicated to analysis and delving deeper into this new revelation in collaboration with researchers.
