Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

It does seem that it is literally true that you can't stick a shovel into the ground without finding something. The had the same problem in Athens when they renovated the subway system and Istanbul when they tried to dig a tunnel. The past constantly intrudes on the present.

Another example of the phenomenon, kb. In Israel they were digging a foundation for a Visitor's Center at the scene of a mosaic floor they had uncovered some 20 years ago when they found an even bigger mosaic floor. The reasoning seems to be that the first one was the living room and the second was the exterior courtyard.

They will now incorporate both mosaics into the facility and probably charge twice as much for the tickets.

Seminar CLXIV: how a seventh-century ship was built, and then abandoned
Posted on 24 November 2015
You may remember, a long time ago, before this blog even, when the powers-that-be in the modern city of Istanbul decided it was time to expand the metro system of the city, started digging and almost immediately found themselves trying to put a tunnel through what was evidently an ancient harbour at Yenikapı?
