Под водой в Турции обнаружили руины старой деревни



Руины старой деревни вышли наружу после разрушения ворот старой дамбы в турецком городе Эйил района Диярбекыр, сообщает Daily Mail.

Дамба, построенная в 1997 году, обеспечивает питьевой водой Диярбекыр, население которого составляет 930 000 человек. На прошлой неделе из-за проливных дождей вода вышла за пределы дамбы вследствие обрушения ворота плотины, обнажив руины древней деревни. Из-под воды появились 78 домов, историческая мечеть, кладбище, святилище.

Среди руин, оказавшихся под водой - могила пророка Илии. Тело пророка было извлечено и перезахоронено на кладбище, построенное в районе Кале, до того, как в 1995 году была построена плотина.

Among the remarkable structures uncovered by the drop in water level were a series of large gravestones. The village had previously been hidden underwater due to a nearby dam which opened in 1997

A view of the Tomb of Elisha appeared after one of Dicle Dam's gates broke off leading to a drop in water level. The gate is believed to have broken off following heavy rainfall towards the end of last week

The remarkable structures were found in the Egil district of Diyarbakir, Turkey on Tuesday when the water levels surrounding the area dropped. An historical Mosque, a madrasa and graveyards were among the structures found

A view of the Tomb of Elisha was uncovered when the water level dropped. It is dedicated to Elisha, who has been venerated as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is mentioned twice in the Quran as a prophet and is, according to scripture, 'among the excellent'. Before it was covered due to the building of the dam around twenty years ago, his corpse was removed and transferred to a tomb built in Kale Neighborhood in September 1995

House ruins were also made visible due to the drop in water levels, which occurred after a gate on the Dicle Dam broke. Construction work began on the dam in 1986 and it was completed in 1997, now providing drinking water to the city of Diyarbakir, Turkey

People were seen walking around the revealed structures soon after the water level dropped below them. Many of the structures now lie in ruin, but one building - a tomb to Elisha stands upright next to the waterfront
