      According to what I heard, beautiful Hasankeyf should be flooded soon…
      …and they want to evacuate some of the historic buildings to an archeological park soon.
      So I guess we have to expect the worst…

      Certainly. But there are many eggs, but, sadly, only one Hasankeyf.

      You’re welcome.
      Hasankeyf really means a lot to me – and therefore post a picture of that place from time to time.
      Thank you for your compliment!

      Greetings,

    To me the retaining walls indicate reconstruction. I certainly hope so!

      As you look at my page frequently you will have probably noticed that Hasankeyf pops up here and there all the time – so the place really means a lot to me. For me it is somewhat magical and I’m always so happy when I’m there…
      …but I think the dam will most certainly come – and then it will be the end of beautiful Hansakeyf’s thousands of years long history…
      …but I’m still hoping!

    If you haven’t read it already you might find this article interesting, http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/24/opinion/sunday/large-dams-just-arent-worth-the-cost.html?_r=0

    I do hope they are renovating the site . . .

      Thank you for the link. It is indeed interesting.
      When you dig a bit deeper, you will quickly notice that building dams has a lot more disadvantages than advantages. After my article about Hasankeyf I got so much information about dams all over the world. I also posted an interesting video under the gallery, someone made me aware of. It compares Hasankeyf with a dam in Brazil.
      Yes, lets hope they will only renovate!
