Some building works threaten Turkish antiquities. Others save them


After discovering historic artifacts on land preparing to become a hotel in Antakya, Turkey, owners chose to develop a combined hotel and history museum, a rare act of collaboration between preservationists and developers. The developers, who incorporated ancient relics like a bathhouse and the world's largest mosaic floor, work consciously to preserve and memorialize the land they are building on to ensure culture significance is not lost among new developments.
