On September 2009 we wrote about Patara, Worlds first Democratic Parliamnet and World Democratic Leaders Meeting.
Patara Excavations:
The project is to renovate the worlds first democratic parliament building in Patara and gathering todays’ democratic countries leaders once again to celebrate the re-opening of this parliament.
Meeting was set to be on October 29th 2010, the day of Republic of Turkey’s decleration.
Neverthless, excavations has extended and still continuing and the re-opening is now due 23 April National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, 2011.
You may follow the latest finding of excavations here, which announces the re-apperaing of 900 years old Byzantine Church at Myra ( Demre). The church is the sole original example of Byzantine religious architecture without renovation.
