Turkish Divers Searching For Lake Monster Uncover A 3,000 Year Old Mystery

October 20, 2023

During their quest to locate a lake monster, Turkish divers have stumbled upon an enigma that dates back to 3,000 years ago.

Explorers have long said that Lake Van, the largest lake in Turkey is home to an elusive treasure in its depths, but no one has yet to find it. So when researchers from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University decided to explore the uncharted waters of the ancient lake, they knew full-well that they might come away empty-handed. But that wasn't their only fear that afternoon: an unseen danger lurking beneath the surface threatened to do much more than just hinder their research.
