Researchers Made An Impressive Discovery When Finding A 1,500-Year-Old Underground Passage, Revealing New Details About Ancient Civilizations And Their Secrets.

Recently, teams from the Istanbul Cultural Heritage Department started excavations in a historic area of the city, known for the church built in the year 524. What appeared to be just another archaeological dig revealed a surprising 1,500-year-old underground passage, which has remained intact throughout centuries and numerous earthquakes.

The Discovery Of An Ancient Structure

The discovery is of great importance not only for its historical value but also for the resilience of the structure. The stones that form the corridor are shaped in marble and adorned with reliefs, highlighting the construction skills of the time.

Mahir Polat, the deputy secretary-general of the municipality of Istanbul, emphasized the passage’s resilience, stating that the structure has survived fragments of tremors throughout the centuries. “In Istanbul, which faces the risk of new earthquakes, this discovery is essential. The structure has managed to withstand all the tremors that have hit the city. Türkiye needs to understand the secret behind this,” Polat stated.

In addition to the excavations, earthquake specialists and civil engineers collaborated on the project, aiming to study the impact of seismic forces in the region throughout history. Polat reported that a detailed report will be produced, documenting the earthquakes that have occurred in the area over the years.

The area in question, which houses the church built in the 6th century, holds great importance for urban archaeology. The excavations may uncover more knowledge about the history of Istanbul. “We are evolving an abandoned and problematic area into local tourism in just ten months,” Polat revealed. Previously, the region was known for housing homeless individuals and criminal activities.

The project also aims to involve the local population in the city’s history and archaeology. The excavations continue after the opening to the public, allowing visitors to follow the process and learn more about the significance of the historic structure. “While the excavations are underway, tourists will be able to learn about local history and see the work of archaeologists up close,” Polat added.

Recently, the team also made another remarkable discovery: a Roman statue approximately 1,900 years old. Additionally, the excavations unearthed 681 bronze pieces, stamped bricks, marble pieces, ceramics, oil lamps, glass and metal artifacts. These discoveries promise to reveal even more about Istanbul’s past and its rich history.

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

Russia cut fertilizers, China cut fertilizers, and oil prices soared with the war in the Middle East: sugarcane producers in the interior of São Paulo are seeing costs explode from all sides and warn that the effects will take months to be absorbed.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

China has accumulated up to 1.4 billion barrels of oil in strategic reserves, invested 25 years in renewable energy, and purchased 80% of cheap Iranian oil: how Beijing has prepared for decades for the crisis that is now shaking the world.

A single lake holds 20% of the planet’s non-frozen freshwater and is also the deepest and oldest on Earth.

It does not come from flowers, is produced only every two years, and more than 90% goes straight to Europe: meet the bracatinga honeydew honey from Santa Catarina, considered one of the rarest in the world and overlooked by Brazil itself.

James Webb finds 300 galaxies with mysterious scars, and this discovery may show that the universe was born much more violently than astronomers had imagined.
