Turkey.
Such a small report for what is an astounding discovery.
I was at Patara just six days ago and on the steps of the theatre and the assembly hall I took some photos of the partial eclipse through my camera using my sunglasses as a filter. Not a great idea but it worked. Now, however, my visit there is all the more magical with the knowledge that this site is thousands of years older than thought, and… “Professor Havva İşkan Işık at Akdeniz University’s Archaeology Department, said the history of Lycia would be rewritten with these new findings.”
For a start they’ll have to change all the signs around the site!
It was a special visit with the eclipse but now the entire history of Lycia will need to be rewritten. It’s astonishing to think the site is at least 10,000 years old! I knew the day was a magical one but this is amazing!
Turkey is certainly leading the way when it comes to taking history back thousands of years further than we think it is…
