1. Fascinating - thanks for posting!

When I was in middle school, my family lived in Tripoli Libya (pre Khaddafi). While we were there, they discovered a similar city down the street from where we lived. We used to lurk around the excavation after school.

It was always much cooler down there than on the surface. They had air tunnels bringing cool sea air from blocks away to the inner chambers. We got evacuated from there when the king was overthrown and I've always wondered what happened to that excavation. It was also first century Roman if I recall.

Libya has wonderful archeological sites that are at risk because of war and instability.
