SASA Ancient FanFiction- The Uluburun shipwreck (Part 1)
14This is a FanFiction written by Pinar Durgun. The Uluburun shipwreck is the oldest excavated shipwreck in the world. The radiocarbon dating suggests that it is dated to the late 14th ce. BC. It was discovered on the southern coast of Turkey, but had a cargo that was very “international.” There were materials and objects such as ivory, copper, tin, glass, pottery, lapis lazuli, amber, indicating that the ship travelled across the Mediterranean as a merchant ship. The ship itself was about 15 meters long.
