Maybe those NYers giving up a fridge can still get some good eats with “pigeon towers”!
not exactly stunning.
Imagine the stench of that place with no plumbing. Ugh.

Look at the modern city in the background. Almost as bad as the ruins.

The earliest cities like Ur of the chaldeans were 10,000 people and highly condensed (for safety)

That would make sense.
Given even the low-life scum of that day.

Investor - yeah, that’s the ticket

That is a joke that we use in Israel because of all of the antiquities that are buried in Jerusalem. literally, if you dig a whole anywhere, you will dig up some broken pottery, which theoretically could be an excavation. The truth is that if you have 2500 old cultural locations, you have city built upon city, built upon city. Most of what you find is the trash of ancient civilizations.

I love articles about ruins like this, discovering where people lived in previous ages. I read that some archeologists favor sifting through the garbage piles for potsherds and whatever else they can find.
I should have been an archeologist!
Oh well.
Another note, I thought Waziri had been tossed off the council and wasn’t in favor with the current regime.

I read James Michner’s “The Tell” a long time ago. Really interesting stuff on how the first village was built on a bit of a hill for protection. When it would get attacked and destroyed they’d built another town on top of it (and a bit higher). The book starts off with the people on the modern town (and now on a hill, or tell, 100 feet tall or whatever), and then Michner backward in time through the generations and down through the excavations.
