Hello all,
What a crazy week it has been. Finally, something more positive is in the news: apparently, archaeologists in
Turkey found what may be the tomb of none other than Saint Nicholas (

Turkey never ceases to amaze me. When I visited the ruins of
Ephesus in 2013, I found out that only a fraction of the existent ruins
had been excavated there. In the Black Sea, countless shipwrecks, both
Byzantine and
Ottoman, have been uncovered in perfect states of preservation. A submerged
basilica was found in Lake Iznik (near ancient
Nicomedia). The list goes on! I wonder what they will discover next...
