An important find that will enter the world's archaeological literature has been discovered in the excavations of Troy, which have been ongoing for more than 160 years in the Çanakkale province of Turkiye. A gold ring brooch dating back to the Early Bronze Age (2500 BC) of the Trojan civilization was discovered during the research conducted within the framework of the "Heritage for the Future" project of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Axar.az reports that in addition to the brooch, a bronze needle and an extremely rare lapis lazuli stone were also found in the same layer.

Making a statement in this regard, Turkish Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy emphasized that the works are among the most important discoveries for the world of archaeology.

Stating that the Troy Museum will host the finds, Ersoy said that this brooch, which is the best preserved of only 3 examples known in the world, is one of the most important finds of the last 100 years. This item, found in the layers of the city of Troy II, dates back to approximately 2500 BC. Jasper, on the other hand, stands out as one of the luxury consumer products from 4,500 years ago. These unique artifacts will soon be exhibited at the Troy Museum.
