Anybody watch NOVA last night on PBS?

I only caught part of it. It was pretty interesting, but I have no idea where they were located. It was the one where they were digging up some ancient city (with the mosaics) and they were running out of time because of some dam being built. At the end of the show, they had run out of time and the place was flooded out because of the dam. Anyone else catch this one and happen to know where it was?


[edit]

Crap, nevermind. Found it. It was the city of Zeugma on the Euphrates river. It was pretty sad because they had no way of stopping the building of this dam, so all this perfectly preserved history was lost. Shouldn't there be something they could do??

See it Here

The mosaics were unbelievable!

 

Here you go

It is interesting to note that the dam is so damn big, certain scientists believe it will cause massive quakes in the area

I've seen this program a few months back, I believe it was narrated by Jodie Foster.

I think that's a different dam, but I did see a Discovery Channel show on the one the other night. That thing is supposed to be friggin HUGE. I'd love to tour that place. They said the canyons and what-not around there were one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
