^r u sure its english?

This happens all the time if u excavate anywhere between Ashrafiyeh, Downtown or Quntari. Three projects (out of 3) were stopped for months around my house because of such discoveries, just enough time to move away the valuable stones and objects.
Such discoveries can be a real Calamity for investors and architects, since it is hard to make such sites profitable in this country.
In the case of the project near Sofil mentioned in Johnny’s article, I heard that the Architects are working on building the tower over the ruins, by turning the underground floor into a huge museum.
