Has Istanbul\'s history to be rewritten ??

Hi Sonic,
.....maybe I didn't make it clear enough that I do not necessarily subscibe to the point of views offered in articles "up and doen the internet" that I do mention as "interesting. (English still IS a foreign laguage to me, --- as is "High-German", of course :oops: ) If so, I apologize/emphasize that I do not intend to do so. Simplex

I honestly never thought you did! If I gave that impression, I apologise. :oops: I was actually drawing attention to the fact that sometimes archaeologists can make really dramatic claims in an attempt to boost their reputations, or, far more likely, try to retain/improve funding for digs, so the claim shouldn't necessarily be taken at face value.
