The length of the aqueduct, discovered during excavations, is about ten meters. Where the water comes from is unknown.

During the excavations of the ancient city of Daskileon in Turkey, a water pipe dating back to about 2.5 thousand years was discovered. TRT Haber reported this.

“The thick pipes made of baked clay, which we found during the excavations, were built in the fourth century BC … This structure was definitely a water infrastructure system and was designed to provide drinking water . The funnels of this period were made of terracotta and attached together with lime mortar”, – said the head of the excavations, lecturer at the Department of Archeology of the University of Mugli, Professor Kaan Iren.

It was noted that the length of the discovered water pipe was about ten meters, which passed through the city, passing through a small pool. Water is supplied from a source on the shores of Lake Manyas, the location of which has not yet been determined.

According to the professor, the pipes discovered by archaeologists are well preserved, which cannot be said about the lime mortar used to fasten them.

At the same time, Kaan Iren added that excavations in the search area are continuing regarding the direction of the pipes towards the city.

It was previously reported that a pair of fossilized panda teeth were found in Bulgaria, which are among the last pandas in Europe.

In Spain, the bones of the face of the first inhabitant of Europe were found
