While excavating at an ancient castle in Turkey, archaeologists unearthed several martial artifacts: three bronze shields and a bronze helmet dating to 2,700 years ago, back when a mighty kingdom known for its metalwork thrived there.
The temple complex was devoted to Haldi, the chief god of Urartu, Ersoy said in the translated posts. The martial artifacts would have been offerings to Haldi. These finds"would be big news at any other site, but for Ayanis they are nothing out of the ordinary," said Paul Zimansky, a history professor at Stony Brook University who conducted archaeological work at Ayanis between 1997 and 2009 but was not involved with the recent discovery.
Atilla Batmaz, an archaeology professor at Ege University in Turkey who is not involved with the excavation, agreed that these finds were not unusual for Ayanis Castle, noting that"a dozen or more such shields and helmets" have been found at the site in the past.
