Archaeologists have unearthed 47 nearly 1,000-year-old graves in the ancient city of Nysa, in Aydın, Türkiye. Led by Professor Serdar Hakan Öztaner, the excavation has also uncovered a significant street that was buried after a 7th-century earthquake.

Highlighting the significance of the street, Öztaner added, "This street intersects with the main road to the south of Nysa. So, if you were to come to Nysa from Ephesus, you would pass this street to enter the city. That is, until an earthquake in the 7th century buried it underground."
