A 2100-year-old inscription has been found in Turkey. “Antiochus of Commagene calls on the people to ‘obey and respect the law,” Arkeonews reported.

The records were found in 2023 by the inhabitants of a Turkish village. They reported it to the Adiyaman Museum Directorate, and archaeologists from Oxford University and the University of Pisa came to study them.

Due to the rugged terrain and steep rocky slopes, the retrieved artifacts were airlifted to the ancient city of Perre using a military helicopter and ropes.
