Quote:how much has been lost.I think that the actual damage is not that big, although it is certainly irreparable. However, the site was excavated and as far as I know, they covered the entire area. Rather quickly of course. From this area, all mosaics were brought to the Gazi Antep museum, which -somewhere between my visits in 2003 and 2007- was converted into a splendid place. For once optimimistic, I think it is possible to overstate the damage. Some of my photos here.
