Archaeologists working at the ancient city of Isos have discovered a 5,000-year-old music chamber.
Isos is mentioned in history books as a trade city and was a multicultural city where the Roman, Byzantine, late Hittite, Persian and Ottoman empires all settled.
A 20-person excavation team, headed by the Hatay Museum archaeologist Ömer Çelik, unearthed some parts of a Roman road in the ancient city this year, revealing that shops at the time were reached through the northeast of the road. Excavations in this area revealed Odean architecture, as well as the music chamber that was discovered. Officials think sick people were treated in this chamber.
