We were very lucky that it was cloudy and windy the day we went to the excavation site. In addition, scientists at the site were able to answer every single question we had. It is a much more valuable experience to see these works of art at the site where they have just been dug out, instead of seeing them in a museum. Furthermore, we were given information about how the people lived, where they slept and how they stored their foodstuffs at that time.The discovery of Kral Tepesi was a complete coincidence. It all started when Nathanael May and Benjamin Moritz from the Eastern Mediterranean University Music Departments saw a pit on the upper part of a hill in the Kaleburnu area, while taking a walk in the Karpaz Peninsula. After the appropriate authorities were notified about this pit, the number of excavation trips to the area increased. As a result, 26 various historical artifacts belonging to the Bronze Age were found and added to the historical and cultural wealth of Cyprus.Today, Dr. Uwe Muller of EMU is responsible for carrying out this excavation study. Dr. Muller looks very happy when showing their most recent finding at the school in a village, where the researchers were accommodated and the artifacts were kept.
He talks about the challenges they came across while working at the site, but says that the new pieces are well worth it. Dr. Muller has plans also for this village. He desires to exhibit the findings in the village. He fights for better research conditions and states that they would appreciate any help.
