STORYLINE:
At least three ancient grave steles have been discovered in downtown Istanbul, Türkiye's largest city, local officials announced Thursday.
Mahir Polat, deputy secretary-general of the Istanbul Municipality, said the 1,500-year-old steles were unearthed during the ongoing archeological excavation at the Sarachane Archeology Park.
"Our teams have unearthed a magnificent group of historical artifacts just one meter below the surface in the heart of Istanbul," Polat told reporters at a press briefing at the park.
The official said another artifact has also been found in the same excavation in the park, but it is still unclear whether it is a grave stele.
