New excavations revealed that the city's past goes back 8000 years, but as I haven't read a related paper yet, I don't know that ancient city's name. So, the oldest we know as of yet is a "new" city, Bizans (in Turkish), dating back from the relatively modern 667 BC.
The new sub-sea rail system construction revealed remnants of an old port town. 8000 years! Can you imagine that? Nearly as old as human culture! |
