Saka Settlement in Lake Issyk-Kul
About 23 meters below the surface in Krygyzstan, a team of Siberian researchers from Tomsk State University found a 2,500-year-old Saka settlement that they believe used to serve as an outpost. The ancient settlement and former outpost was brimming with valuables.
The explorers found about 200 artifacts in it, among them being a piece of what used to be a large ceramic pot that has a stamp that upon closer examination, looks to have been written in Armenian and Syrian scripts. They also found evidence of bronze casting production at the lake bottom.
