    Not to spark a debate on climate change but I think it would be naive to think either that natural variations did not occur or that man has not impacted the environment and climate.

    That said, I think these discoveries are super cool but I've seem too many mummy movies to be the first through one of those doorways!

    If the water level is falling in a dammed reservoir, then presumably these features were exposed before the dam was built. Which might have been some time in the last century, well after a few centuries of European "explorers" and a few millenia of whoever was there had plenty of time to go through them and remove anything valuable or interesting.

    What if they built the dam to make sure what was inside stayed inside?

    There's several dams and reservoirs. I don't recall the details any more, but not terribly long ago Turkey pissed everybody off by not allowing enough water to go downstream.

    Somewhat related, ancient city exposed when reservoir was lowered to help feed agriculture in Iraq:

    In an area that's been inhabited for so long, I suppose it's difficult to expand any body of water without flooding some ruins of people who had once settled near that water.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    I've heard he has had a rough time.

    People deal with stress in different ways, but eating your feelings is a choice as is drinking them, etc.

    I like Fraser and hope he gets his career back on track but don't have a lot of sympathy for treating depression and rought times by abusing oneself. Different philosophies maybe and perhaps I'm just an A-hole.
