A group of academics under the direction of professor Rafet Cavusoglu, head of the archeology division at Van’s Tuzuncu Yl University, have been excavating at Cavustepe Castle since 2017.
The crew discovered a married wOᴍᴀɴ’s skeleton with a collection of pricey jewelry after extensive digging. The anthropologists on the team are getting ready to study the bones in a viral lab to ascertain the wOᴍᴀɴ’s age and the precise cause of ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ.
Cavusogl, who I spoke with at the Adolu Agency (AA), stated that the latest grave we dug up likely belonged to a wOᴍᴀɴ between the ages of 20 and 25. The fact that the wOᴍᴀɴ brought all of her jewels is crucial in this situation. Given the presence of bracelets on both of her wrists, a brass bracelet in her left hair, pendulum earrings on both of her ears, a brooch on her bottom, and a semi-precious stone necklace around her neck, we have concluded that the skeleton belonged to a noblewOᴍᴀɴ.
Located on Lake Van and on the plateau between Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the Iʀᴀɴian plateau, and the Caucasus Mountains, the Urartu civilization was an Iroic monarchy. Around the middle of the first century BC, the civilization, also known as the Kingdom of Van, was established.
