Fragment of oldest known peace treaty found in Turkey

Archaeologists have discovered a fragment of the world's oldest known peace treaty in Turkey, dating back around 3,200 years. The treaty was between the Hittite king Hattusili III and the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II. It was inscribed on a clay tablet and features a treaty between the two leaders, outlining the terms of a peace agreement. The tablet is significant because it predates the famous Treaty of Versailles by over 3,000 years. The discovery was made by a team of archaeologists from the University of California, Berkeley, who were excavating a site in the archaeological reserve of Boǧazkale in central Turkey. The team used a combination of manual excavation and geophysical surveys to locate the fragment.
