Thousands of years ago, a person was cleaning out a well in Roman Spain when one of their leather sandals slipped off their foot. Now, 2,000 years later, archaeologists have found the well cleaner’s missing shoe.
Turkey is so full of archeological wonders, they can’t dig a hole without finding something.
I was so sad when I saw in one of their museums a section with artifacts recovered from what they called an “emergency escavation” before the scholars had to make way for the new construction that was going to happen on that particular site.
The museum didn’t mince words either, clearly stated something like “what was possible to recover in the emergency escavation”. Now it’s just concrete over it.
