Meanwhile, Turkey flooded the oldest continually-inhabited settlement in the world, Hasankeyf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasankeyf

A true loss to world heritage.

An aeon ago the people who built Göbekli Tepe buried it intentionally. It is only intact because of that.

Under water and sediment that city might survive intact too. It is lost to us but preserved for mankind.
