A fortress 3,000 feet (1,000m) long has been found under the surface of Lake Van in eastern Turkey, near the Iranian border. At approximately 50 miles long, Lake Van is Turkey’s largest lake.
The fortress is thought to date to the Ururtian period, around 1000 BC, when the water level was much lower. Further remains of villages can still be seen on the edge of the lake, above the current water line.
