I wonder what the Turkish government will do with regard to this?

Turkish archaeologists have discovered an ancient Byzantine port in an area that was planned to be an underground railway station, they announced on Tuesday. They're calling the find the "Port of Theodosius," after the emperor of Rome and Byzantium who died in the year 395 AD, and say the finds here could shed significant light on the commercial life of this ancient city.

deny deny deny...and then figure out a way to make money off it.

When I was in Ephesus the tour guide never once mentioned Greek or any reference to Byzantium. It was Lydians, Romans, Romans Lydians all the time. When I asked about that omission, she replied that that the "yunanis" and "romans" (meaning Byzantium) had contributed to the "rich fabric" of culture of Turkey. Of course never once was the significance of Christianity in Ephesus ever mentioned.
