Description
The Uluburun Shipwreck is a Bronze Age vessel discovered lying off the coast of Kas, Turkey. The ship, probably originally from Phoenicia/Canaan, dates to between 1330 and 1300 BCE and was carrying a full cargo of trade goods. The main cargo of the ship was raw materials. The largest item was copper ingots, 348 of them, totalling 10 tons in weight. The next biggest load was 120 pure tin ingots. There was a quantity of glass disk ingots, perhaps over 175. There were also some 70,000 beads on board in glass and faience. There are many pieces of jewellery made from gold, silver, bronze, tin, faience, and glass. In the same materials, there are also figurines, vessels, and weapons. More exotic items on board include Baltic amber.
The 3D model of the ship was built by Alexander Wlamsley and he gave me the 3D file as a present. Many thanks ! Render in Bryce 7 pro.
