Osman Erim pulled the trident from the bottom of Lake Iznik with his net while fishing with friends.
Kayip Rykhtym “Trident of Poseidon” discovered in Lake Iznik.
Osman Erim is from the village of Golluçe, on the southern shore of Lake Iznik in northwestern Turkey. One April morning, he and some friends went fishing and found more than they expected.
After casting his net into the water, Erim pulled it back in and noticed an unusual object among the fish: a three-pronged spear, known as a trident. He recognized the potential historical significance of the find and quickly turned it over to experts.
“We went out early in the morning and cast nets for silverfish,” Erim said, as reported by Türkiye Today. “Among the fish, we found an object that looked like a spear. Realizing that it could be a historical artifact, I decided to hand it over to the authorities.”
