      The Aswan changed the delta. Sounds like this will affect more people than just those in Hasankeyf. And I'm very definitely against destroying our archaeological heritage.
      Why can't we learn from the past? There must be a different reason. Perhaps the projected change in rainfall from global warming? Scarcity of water? Control over neighbouring lands?

      [Side note: the planet hasn't been warming for about 8 years - I think the statistic is] This move to obscure the ruins is ostensibly about economics. That's just the cover story. It's really about removing historical evidence which challenges the account of history we have been taught to believe. This discovery shows us that advanced human civilization has been around many THOUSANDS of years prior to what we have been taught in history books. If people begin to try to assess this information and incorporate it into their total knowledge/view of the world, it begs the question: what else about the official explanation of life is totally wrong? They want to destroy the dam to preserve an account of history that is not true, and to continue to feed this account to people en masse.

      You may be right - unfortunately. The religiously-deluded are often against education and knowledge for fear it may dismantle their carefully constructed facade. But as for the climate change - it's still warming, though much of the heat is apparently going into the oceans. Would that it had stopped.

      The suppression of counter-paradigm historical evidence is widespread and goes beyond religion. www.google.ie/search?q=graham+hancock+underworld&biw=1252&bih=602&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tKjzVNvSBLCR7AavooDgDw&sqi=2&ved=0CDMQsAQ This guy Graham Hancock apparently did his own research of these underwater ruins in India over five years and over 100 deep sea dives. The last time these ruins would have seen sunlight would have been over 12,000 years ago - which accords with the Turkish find. But Hancock apparently faces a lot of opposition from many comers. Including the fact that he was censored by Ted talks for promoting the neurologically sound view that the brain does not create consciousness but is a receiver/decoder/convertor of consciousness in the same way as a television set receives/decodes/converts tv signal into images on a screen. His Ted talks video was removed from their site after a few weeks. As much as I enjoyed watching Ted talks, it does dawn on one that there is certainly some sort of agenda behind it. I'm not sure what it is or why, but it is presumably part of more general propaganda agendas in the West.

This video isn't saying there is something that old neither they are just talking about the city's history which got believed it is 12,000 years old and you assumed those buildings are that old while in reality they are only few hundred years old. And Turkey is full of few hundred years historical places therefore that talk about turism just BS!! So zero journalism but good propaganda against Turkey i gotta admit it...

Surprised this site was not protected UNESCO as a lot of sites around the world are? is there no way to save the city and still get 2% electricity ???

    Im sorry but how is Hasankeyf 12k years old when that is the same age as Gobekli Tepe? None of the structures shown, date back to 9500 bc. Yes it would be nice to save those ancient buildings, but they are no where near 12k years old. The architecture is more similar to Sumerian than anything, which would put them around 6000 yrs ago.

    • @ggoddkkiller1342

    Why Islamic countries still rely on the construction of dams for power generation?
    Dams have negative effects on the environment, can cause an earthquake of up to 7 on the Richter scale. And also cause problems with neighboring countries.
    And if the dams collapsed this will cause a major disaster and too expensive to maintain.
    Why does not depend on the generation of energy from the sun or propellers underwater or on the waves of the sea?
    Frankly, I think this is a mistake of Turkey.

    If anything there my be just a loose tie to this story to Atlantis just because many believe Atlantis is now under water, and their city in Turkey will be. The end. Personally that spot they found in Spain, above water, may be the famed Atlantis, but during certain enormous changes with the earth including ice age melts, etc... some societies were flooded and then uncovered centuries after. There are very few, but there ARE some examples of volcanic damage actually destroying whole islands and ancient villages being lost to the sea.
