Unearthing Ancient Greek City: Libya's Catastrophic Flooding Reveals Forgotten Structures
Devastating floods in Libya have exposed previously hidden archaeological structures in an ancient Greek city near Derna, prompting calls for preservation and restoration efforts. The floods revealed structures that had been buried for centuries, and experts are now advocating for the formation of a national committee to classify the new archaeological monuments and develop a plan for restoration. The ancient city of Cyrene, founded in 631 BC, is a significant historical site in the region. The floods in Libya have caused widespread destruction and loss of life, with thousands of fatalities and many still missing.
