Visitors from all around the world, especially Europe, love to visit the shores of Lake Van in the Anatolia region of Turkey, admiring its deep blue waters. One of the world’s largest and deepest endorheic lakes, meaning it has no outlet, Lake Van is calm and beautiful. It’s the last place one would expect to find something lurking beneath its placid surface…

There is one oddity on the shoreline, however: an ancient church, located on a cliff edge overlooking Lake Van. As you might imagine, the combination of the church and lake’s beauty makes it a popular photo spot. However, few knew that the church was the first clue to solving a much large historical mystery.
