World's Oldest Wooden Anchor Discovered inTurky

Israeli archaeologists have discovered what they think as the world's oldest wooden anchor which was embedded in muck on the sea floor of an ancient Turkish port off the Aegean Sea.

Dating from the end of the 7th century B.C., the anchor likely detached from a ship traveling to or from the Greek colony of Klazomenai, near the modern Turkish port city of Urla. Source: Livescience
