Humm. Turkey is re-Ilsamitizing. Any pre-Islamic artifacts must be destroyed. It’s a requirement. The recent former Muslim Brotherhood leader of Egypt had appointed a strict Islamist to oversee the pyramids. That man had already said he favored destroying them and that now technology existed to do so. This probably played a major role in their downfall as every Egyptian realizes that without those pyramids there’s no tourism in Egypt.

The Turks are going the Mubarak-era Egyptian way — turning their archaeological sites into Disneyland-style tourist traps.

The modernizing elements in Turkey should do everything they can to spread knowledge of Turkey's ancient history throughout the country especially in popular media that can reach the largest number of people. This will open the eyes of the Turkish people to their long history—they were not always Moslem.
