The castle found beneath the surface of Lake Van in Turkey may have been built 3,000 years ago
by ancient people called the Urartians, but archaeologists can't say for certain.
Parts of the "castle," a term that the discoverers use to describe it, likely date to the Middle Ages,
which lasted from about A.D. 476 to 1450, and it may not be an entirely new discovery:
Reports from surveys of the Lake Van area conducted in the 1950s and 1960s noted the existence of the structure.
It's not clear when the castle was washed underwater.
