Turn a shovel in Turkey and see what you might find.

In Bursa, a tunnel, cistern and water canals that brought water
from Uludağ mountain, all related to the ancient Bythnia Palace,
which was built on the Tophane slopes of Uludağ, have been
uncovered.

The Bursa municipality is conducting the restoration work in
Tophane Park, across fron the Muradiye State Hospital, that
will reveal living areas that date to 2,400 years ago.  Mayor Recep
Altepe explained that "when we entered the first door we found
10 separate large areas.  These are the palace's lower places and
were used for various purposes."

How could they have done this without an Iphone?

Continuing, Mayor Altepe stated that "there are corridors and
paths here, along with canals that brought pure, fresh water
to the palace from the Pınarbaşı spring on the Uludağ slopes.
Everything is connected. We've found an amazing treasure."

             Is that a comma or a period?...

In Cairo last Thursday, the Egyptian Museum displayed the
country's oldest papyrus, which was discovered 3 years ago.
The papyrus dates to 4,500 years ago and reveals how workers
carried the stones that made the Giza Pyramid, what they ate
and details about the workers' daily lives.

The Egyptian Chief of Antique Structures, Halit el-Anany,
noted that "the papyrus was found by a 13-person team of
French and Egyptian archeologists in a cave within Wadi el-
Jarf, the oldest port in the world. One of the papyrus belonged
to a worker named Marr, who wrote about the pyramid
construction work over the course of 3 months.  Marr explains
how they transported the heavy pyramid stones over the canals
of the Nile River."

The second papyrus details how much food each worker received
and the third one has statistics and management information
related to the construction of the pyramids.
