Archaeological excavations that have been carried out in the 2,300-year-old Kurul Castle in the Black Sea province of Ordu have unearthed the 2,100-year-old the Kybele Statue, as well as three other big statues and other 2,000 historical artifacts.

One of Turkey's most important recent archaeological finds faces a grave threat due to blasting activity at a rock quarry in the vicinity.
