 @hannah that's so weird i mean i guess the river carried down a lot of soil and it all filled in that way but that's a lot of _far_ and now there's a _city_ and it's only 1900 years. and yet: hexagonal lake? _that's_ fine somehow.  @moira @hannah "Around 50% of the known ancient Mediterranean harbour-locations are not used anymore today (within a radius of 1500 m around the location of the ancient harbour). Around 15% of the ancient Mediterranean harbours are now silted-up, of which ca. 75% are not used anymore today. " 2000 years of silt can make a port disappear. https://www.ancientportsantiques.com/ancient-port-structures/silting-up/ |
@moira yeah i guess they dug up some roman ships while building the airport and there’s a little museum for them
