Found the tomb of the 16th century European eminent king

The The Guardian, Suleiman the Great died in 1566 when his army was besieging the Turbek Szigetvar fortress in southern Hungary. Norbert Pap, a historian from Pecs University, Hungary, said Suleiman's grave was built at the very place where he was stationed and died. During excavation, the team found evidence that this was Suleiman's grave.

"All the data we collect is all about one thing. We are very sure because there is no evidence to counter this statement. But we still need to excavate more to confirm it because this is a sensitive topic, " Pap said December 9.

Having died at the age of 71, Suleiman was the longest reigning king in the history of the Ottoman Empire or ancient Turkey. During 46 years of governance, Suleiman expanded the territory of Turkey to the Balkans, the Middle East and North Africa. Thanks to that, he was considered the eminent king of Europe in the 16th century.

In 2013, Pap found a grave site in Turbek, the foundation of the ancient Ottoman Empire that was destroyed in the 1680s.

Historians believe that Suleiman's heart and organs were buried in the tomb and his body was taken to Constantinople, the city of Istanbul, Turkey, today. The death of the Suleiman the Great was kept secret for 48 days to prevent his troops from leaving the war.

According to Pap, some buildings near the grave are still underground. It could be a small church and an Islamic monastery. Excavation of the area will restart in April next year.
