In 2021, a diver found some pillar-like debris under the sea near the western Turkish city of Dikli. Archaeologists, after a year of tireless research, have finally declared it a remnant of the ancient city's port.
The 39-year-old diver was Turkish engineer Denim Orhan, who works in the United States. He sent photos of his discovery to a team working on archeology in another ancient city in Turkey.
Archaeologists say the pillars are the remains of the port city of Aterneus, dating to 4 BC.
The king of Athens was Hermes, then a friend of Aristotle, the famous philosopher of ancient Greek civilization. The city was devastated by 1 BC. The cause of the devastation is unknown, but it is thought to be the deadliest epidemic in the city.
