I have have to say what a stunning account of what was modern Christian Rome. The people preserving history deserve the world respect. Though what I see in the developing of a modern speedway tunnel and that nasty little man with his helmet as a complete idiot. The entire money would donated through in by multiple countries to keep safe the history of Constantinople and not Istanbul, namely Turky. Utterly amazing to see this amount of effort put in to whats one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. Truly stunning

Why pave it over, why not put in a Glass floor, so people can see what is there, bring it back to life, let people see by information boards etc. what was there! Geez, dig it up, quick, hurry we have to build this rail station, never mind it is a hugely important part of history you are finding, we have a time schedule! Oh, and it's costing us a fortune while we wait in you! Sickening, absolutely sickening!

In my view, the higher ups forced & led the beginner engineer to comment we are engineers. make brighter than. -> was Inhumane, Insanely ridiculous. Why? Bcz the archeologists comments have earth & human value for hundreds & thousands of years and not the dismal politicians or business or the engineers anywhere in the world THE ARCHEOLOGISTS NEED NATURAL SUNLIGHT TO SHINE ON THE EARTHs HISTORY.

Good on the archeologists sticking behind their principles. Although it is a controversial issue regarding the Turkish economy, the international community I would assume greatly appreciates the willingness of the infrastructure company to work in conjunction with archaelogists to ensure that the knowledge of our past is well recorded and preserved as well as possible.

And note that the harbour is above the current sea level.
What happened to global sea level rise?
And no, this land-rise was NOT due to sediments, as the scientist says.
These boats were floating in water before they sank underneath it.
Sea levels receded, and left the harbour high and dry.
Most Roman ports are above the current sea level.

Turkey keeps promoting history that is not theirs, just look how many turists per year come to Turkey thanks to Greek heritage, Every major turkish city has about a 1000 year old Greek history, this is not fair, please go to your ancestral lands (Mongolia, khazastan, tajikistan etc) and make your proud excavations there.

The only way to make these astonishing discoveries is to mount one of these colossal engineering projects. Unfortunately, the death knell for these amazing discoveries is the engineering projects that find them.
The brutality visited upon innocent animals was returned on the city when the Ottomans attacked.

At last, modern engineering and archaeology worked together to save important findings dating to Eastern Roman times! The ancient harbor of Theodosius will be covered by a huge transportation network; anyway, it was already out of use because of an earthquake and a tsunami for more of a millennia ago.

Fourth Crusade conquered and plundered Constantinople in 1204, Eastern Roman lands were divided between Venice and other Latin warlords. Black Death visited the city ten times between 1347 and 1400. When Constantinople was taken by the Ottomans in 1453 its best days were long gone.

great doco, and many thanks to these turkish archaeologists for doing their upmost to preserve the history of their great city!
And if you have been on a dig with protocols, regardless of how you are hired; you are an archaeologist.

Ive always disliked the term used for the Byzantine empire. This is the single biggest factor, imo, many people are unaware that this empire is the eastern half of the Roman Empire that survives through the Middle Ages.

900 years later. We're trying to build a space port here but found remains of a giant subway station and shopping mall. Now we're racing to excavate the site before the space bulldozers come in.

at 42: 20 we hear invading Crusaders. ' except Constantinople was a Christian city during the crusades as I recall. Muslims conquered it much later. words seemed quite screwed up.

Insatiable desire of archaeologists to gather useless in formation, assumes me. They gather it, box it, and then forget it, leaving it all, to gather dust, in some museum basement.

12: 37 It's scary that there would be so many places to hide in a city as dense as this but when it was sacked it would only be a matter of time before the invaders find you.

A beautiful archaeological site that could have attracted a lot of tourism. Try to restore and reconstruct the habour.
I am not coming to Istanbul for a shopping center.
