Explanation: Archeology is a very dedicated and difficult task. A discovery of a single previously unrecognized building can be a major event in an archeologist's career, and the older the more impressive.
... and yet there are numerous major archeological finds in Turkiye which have been discovered over the past century by random rural Turkish folks just fucking stumbling over them in the course of their daily lives.
Must be nice, living in a country steeped in ancient civilization!
