Located in the eastern province of Van in Turkey, the falling water level of Lake Van, with the decrease in precipitation and excessive evaporation caused by the increase in temperature, revealed the 11-step harbor at the bottom of the Urartu period castle...
Due to the decrease in the lake level, the 11-step port of that period became visible in the coastal part of the castle, which was used by the Urartians for sea transportation, in the district where many structures and boats previously emerged.
Experts examined the area, which was opened in the bedrock with a width of 3 meters and which is considered to have been used by boats and ships to transport materials to the castle during the Urartian period.
...the port in question is located on the outskirts of the registered castle called “Beylerin Castle” on the shores of Erciş district.
Stating that this place was used as a Port Castle during the Urartu period, Çavuşoğlu stated that a port consisting of 11 steps with a width of 3 meters was built so that ships could dock comfortably on the bedrock at a height of approximately 20 meters at the junction of the lake...
Stating that this is the first time they have encountered such a structure, Çavuşoğlu said that the natural coves acted as harbors for the Urartians, but that no remains of these structures have been found so far.

Shhhhh!

Some could be, probably monk’s hangouts, tombs, could be mines, or treasure seeker holes (those people are a menace).
232, 422, 485
“232, 422, 485”
“Conclusion
RS232, RS422, RS423, and RS485 are all essentially physical layer protocols. They are all serial communication protocols and are ubiquitous device interfaces.”
Chilling, indeed.
So, in the 9th to 6th Century B.C. earth was on average warmer (climate wise) than today? How is that possible, because CO2 was so much lower then????
Looks like the water level is just now getting back down to normal.
lol
Nasty business that ‘Long Pig.’
And for dessert, lady fingers!
Unless the seas were very calm any boat would get hammered by the rock.
They worked with what they had.
