The Istanbul Archeology Museum announced on Monday that they have made the largest archeological discovery of the year by unearthing “A 5,000-year-old tumulus, the oldest ever found in the country” in the Istanbul district of Silivri. The discovery is expected to shed greater light on the history of Istanbul and the wider Thracian region.  According to reports, archeologists have found the 5,000-year-old kurgan-type tumulus, considered the first completely intact tumulus of its kind to be excavated, during a rescue dig which started in December 2015 at a summer residence complex in the Çanta region of Silivri.

  1. I believe that many times our decision to treat homosexuality different from other sins and our personal sins speaks loudly about our true feelings on grace, forgiveness, and Ch;8it&#s217rs death on the cross.I don’t think we should ever excuse sin, but we must not get to a place where we believe we are without it or somehow our sin smells better.
