Divers uncovered something extraordinary — a six-petaled flower of life symbol carved into an underwater fortress at Lake Van. The circular basalt structure features capstones with sacred symbols at each end. This fortress, documented by archaeologists from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, has design elements echoing similar symbols found at KEF relief and Altra Dionis. While the discovery team suggests ceremonial aspects, the structure is officially classified as a military fortification. The precision suggests spiritual knowledge embedded in stone. 🔶🌸
