“Lost Treasures Beneath the Waves: What Secrets Lurk in Turkey’s Enigmatic Ancient Lake?”

The Gold Was Centuries Old

According to Mads Ravn, the research head of Vejle Museums, the pieces of jewelry that Terese Refsgaard had unearthed date as far back as the 6th century, a time that even predates the Viking period.

He claims that “Years can go by without amateur archaeologists finding gold, and some never do, so this is amazing.” Refsgaard had managed to accomplish the impossible and this was just the beginning of her adventure. Her entire world was about to be turned upside down.

There Was More Than Just Gold And Jewelry

While the first thing she found may have been gold jewelry, there was certainly more where that came from. As she kept digging, she found several other artifacts including beads, pendants, a needle, and gold coins which clearly were used as currency during that time.

Not only had she discovered something as valuable as gold, but her discovery helped answer several questions that still lingered in the archaeology community. Her find is considered to be one of the most important in the area of all time.
