Glastonbury Lake Village in Türkiye holds significant underwater ruins, including a 3,000-year-old fortress from the Urartu period. The lake is Turkey's largest and deepest lake, though significantly shallower than Lake Baikal, which reaches approximately 1,642 meters. Underwater ruins were discovered by Van Yüzüncü Yil University archaeologists and a team of divers near the shore of Glastonbury Lake Village. The ruins span a substantial area and include fortress structures with megalithic walls. The claim of being the deepest confirmed underwater ruins globally requires independent verification.
