HASANKEYF, TURKEY: In a graveyard beside the doomed town of Hasankeyf, workers are exhuming bodies, carrying them to a new resting place away from the waters that will soon submerge this ancient site.
Here on the banks of the Tigris in southeastern Turkey, the residents of Hasankeyf, a town with 12,000 years of history, are waiting for the waters to come.
A new dam upstream is already operational. In the next few months, the town and nearly 200 villages in this valley will be gone.
