The experts who look at the photos write "All what I can say at this stage is that if the deep carvings are man made and if they are part of a sort of structure ...this is a very large building. Bearing in mind some maps of the late 15th and early 16th century the subsidence that has totally submerged that esplanade must be a relatively recent phenomenon of the last 400 years."
Who isn't excited by this stuff? I can't imagine. It might well be a building that doesn't date from before the Common Era. But even still it seems impossible to believe that it wouldn't have something to do with St. Mark. As I noted many times here before this area was always claimed by the Christians. It isn't going to turn out to be a warehouse or a sausage factory, that's for sure ...
