First of first, Gaziantep castle was not built by the Romans. The finds showed that it was built during the Hittite period. It is known that many empires throughout history used this hill as an observation castle and garrison. Also historically, the Turks used this castle for the longest time, nearly 1000 years.Turkey earthquake: Roman-era castle destroyed by quake

I can understand that in some media circles the loss of an archaeological site is more upsetting than the loss of Turks, but the fact that this news is being shared here while thousands of our people are still under the rubble makes my chest heavy. I wish not one but all castles had collapsed and our sons and daughters had not died.

My posting that - was to simply highlight the sheer strength/scale of the current earthquake where structures that have stood for eons, seen many earthquakes before and survived - but did not survive this one. I should have added some commentary on my intent i guess.
Been watching BBC all day - horrific videos coming out now.
Thoughts and prayers to all.

Condolences to the affected nations and people. I saw some clips on social media and it was truly sad to see. We hope the people recover as quickly as possible.
