Dorak

Two important tombs dating from the mid third millennium B.C. (roughly corresponding to Troy I/II), one of a royal couple, the other of a prince, were discovered at Dorak on the south side of the lake. The grave goods, now in a private collection in Izmir, included superbly ornamented swords and Daggers, marble and amber scepters with gold and silver shafts, the remains of a throne, and a blade engraved with a ship's prow - the earliest evidence yet found of a seagoing vessel apart from those of ancient Egypt.
