Hi everyone, I came across this fascinating article today though it dates back a few weeks, that talks about how the recent floods in Libya have uncovered new archaeological remains at the ancient Greek city of Cyrene, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The article is from Reuters and you can read it [here](https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2023-10-05/libya-flood-disaster-damaged-ancient-city-but-revealed-new-remains). 

According to the article, the flooding that killed thousands in Libya’s Derna last month damaged the ruins at Cyrene, but it also revealed a previously unknown Roman drainage system by washing away earth and stones. The local antiquities department official, Adel Boufjra, said that this is a distinctive discovery for the city and that they are working to preserve and study the site.

However, he also warned that the flooding may have added to subsidence that could later topple one of the monuments. He said that he expects that one of these landmarks could collapse due to the excessive underground water during the winter. This is very concerning, as Cyrene is one of the most important and beautiful ancient sites in Libya and the region.

For those that aren’t familiar with the ruins, Cyrene was a Greek colony and one of the principle cities of the ancient Hellenic world before becoming a major centre under the Romans until an earthquake destroyed it in 365 C.E. It has stone pillared temples, theatres, tombs, and statues that stand on a fertile hillside near rocky crags.

The article also mentions that scientists at the World Weather Attribution, an international research group, said that climate change had caused up to 50% more rain during the storm than would previously have been the case - underscoring future risks to heritage.

What do you guys think of this article and the new discoveries at Cyrene? I wonder if there is more to be found under the rubble, but the question remains on how can we protect and preserve these ancient sites from natural disasters and human interference?
