Town in the middle of a Lake
November 7, 2008
Here’s something you don’t see every day: a town built in the middle of a lake. Not on an island, but actually below water level. It’s the ancient city of Seuthopolis, in Bulgaria, which was discovered in 1948. Six years later, a dam was destroyed and it was covered in water, ending up at the bottom of a huge lake. Now, the city is being unearthed via the most insane architectural project ever.
This is going to be done via the construction of a huge circular dike that’ll be a whopping 1,377 feet in diameter and 65 feet high. People will be able to access the recessed city by boat, heading down into it to see the city. And the focus isn’t on archeology here, but rather on tourism, with Bulgaria looking to create a striking image that draws people in. And really, there are few things that make a town more striking than have it sit on the bottom of a lake. Cool stuff.

Hi Kim! Long time no hear. Actually, walng problema if you are a woman. Just be naughty and they will surely come. “they will come”. I like the sound of it. Ang mga lalaki ang may problem. Kung walang datung (translation = no $), kawawa naman si manoy. SI Mary Palmer (Mariang Palad) lang ang makakatugon sa kanyang needs. I am still trying to improve my posts, making it more informative and intertaining. Any suggestions? Thanks for visiting.
