Int’l archaeologists uncovering Kültepe

International archaeologists from Türkiye, South Korea, Italy, and France are conducting excavations at the ancient Kültepe site in Kayseri, Turkey. This UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List site has produced over 23,000 cuneiform tablets, making it one of the largest collections of such texts globally. These tablets were added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register in 2015. The site dates back approximately 6,000 years and provides critical insights into the historical ties between Anatolia and Mesopotamia. Researchers highlight the importance of Kültepe for understanding ancient trade routes and cultural exchanges. Construction continues on the Kültepe Museum, which will be a prominent rock-carved museum, along with other visitor facilities aimed at enhancing the site’s accessibility and educational value.
