A stone slab inscribed with the name of Prophet Muhammad has been unearthed at the historic Ani archaeological site in eastern Turkey, offering new insights into the region’s past, according to Xinhua citing local authorities on Monday.

Market Impact

Turkey’s Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said the name appears six times in Kufic script on the artefact, believed to come from a Seljuk-era tomb tower. He noted that three of the inscriptions are intricately carved on a decorative band surrounding an eight-pointed star. The slab was discovered during excavations at a Seljuk cemetery that has been studied since 2021.

The Ani site, near the Turkish-Armenian border in Kars province, was a major hub on the ancient Silk Road. It served as the capital of the Bagratid Armenian kingdom in the 10th and 11th centuries before coming under Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman rule. The site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016.
