The skeleton of a war camel has been reportedly found in a cellar in Austria, The Market Business reported. This camel was used by the Ottoman troops a long time ago in around the 17th century.
This can be the discovery of the ruins of an ancient war camel was could have bought down by a soldier in the Ottoman Empire and then bought and buried in Austria.
The skeleton is said to be found in a fully intact condition and was found abandoned in a cellar in Austria, which is along the Danube, in the year 2006. Many expert diggers and archeologists have come after that to work on this ruin.
There has been another theory in this study which is pointing towards the probability that the camel could have been left behind in Austria by the Ottoman troops or they might have sold it off in a trade.
The bones of this camel have been traced to date back to 1683 when there was a full siege and rule of the Ottoman troops; the researchers have also found bits and parts of metal and pottery at the site of digging.
Even though proper studies are being carried on with this, it is not very unusual to find camels in Europe, CTV News reported. Kingdoms like that of the Romans and the Ottomans would more often than not leave their camels behind to lighten the load of their travelling.
The Ottoman Empire has started in the Middle East in the year 1299 and was present until 1923.
After they were unable to take control of Vienna in 1683, the Ottomans stopped their expansion into Europe and their rule faded off.
