Water levels at a dam in Kars province, eastern Turkey, have dropped far enough to uncover an old village that had been under water, according to reports from Turkish outlets including Gezelim, Hürriyet, A Haber and İhlas Haber Ajansı.
The receding water exposed a mosque, a church and houses belonging to the village, the reports say. The remains became visible again after the reservoir's level fell, a development covered by several Turkish news organizations.
Gezelim reported the story under the headline that the waters had withdrawn and the mosque, church and village had come to the surface. Hürriyet described the same scene, noting that the mosque, houses and church reappeared once the water pulled back. A Haber framed it as history that had been hidden for years emerging again, while saraymedya.com identified the location as the Karakurt Dam and said the old village resurfaced there as the water level declined.
