Ooooooo! thank you, I saw the special on TV that showed the crew that found and explored the ruins. I was amazed at how they were able to get the mosaics out in good order to preserve them.

If the radical Muslims come into power in Turkey, they'll probably destroy all these treasures because they portray human and animal forms and that's against their religion.
Remember the Bamayan Bhuddas they destroyed in Afghanistan!
