An interesting find usually seen only in the fall and now more exposed during a drought.

With the receding of water in the Seyhan Dam Lake in the southern province of Adana, some part of the ancient city of Augusta has come to light:

All of the monumental structures of the ancient city are underwater for nine months of the year. Only some ruins can be seen beyond the hills.”

Stating that it is possible to see the sitting steps of the theater when the water recedes in the autumn months, Erhan said, “It is also possible to see the remains of ceramic and architectural stone blocks from that period in the area right next to the dam waters.”
