Enkomi, Bronze Age archaeological site in Famagusta District, Cyprus
The excavation area contains remnants of an ancient city with visible grid-pattern streets, copper smelting facilities, and burial chambers dating from 1800 BC.
The settlement gained prominence during 1600-1100 BC as a major Mediterranean copper trading center, corresponding with Egyptian pharaohs about metal exports.
Excavations revealed numerous tombs containing gold artifacts, silver bowls, and a significant collection of Cypro-Minoan script tablets from the Late Bronze Age.
The archaeological site requires careful navigation through ancient structures, and visitors should note the location falls within the territorial dispute zone of Cyprus.
The discovered Horned God statue and Ingot God figure demonstrate the advanced metallurgical capabilities and religious practices of this Bronze Age settlement.
