Laughing Squid has a story about some amazing ancient Greek mosaics. They were discovered in the Turkish city of Zeugma. The artwork, which dates to the 2nd century BCE, is constructed of boldly colored glass. Up until 2000, the ancient city was completely submerged underwater. There are many areas of Zeugma, once home to about 80,000 people, left to excavate.
From now on, we will work on restoration and conservation. We plan to establish a temporary roof for long-term protection. We estimate that the ancient city has 2,000-3,000 houses. Twenty-five of them remain under water. Excavations will be finished in the Muzalar House next year.
