Iznik: The Sunken BasilicaApril 14, 2024

A routine survey flight in 2014 over Lake Iznik in Turkiye unexpectedly revealed the sunken remains of a 4th century Byzantine basilica. This incredible discovery prompted international scientists to probe the elusive history and geology behind the demise of a church that was built in the ancient Roman city of Nicaea. Thanks to exclusive access to the site, including critical aerial and underwater cinematography, and spectacular CGI, we travel back through the centuries to the church's origins.

Iznik: The Sunken Basilica was broadcast on SBS ONE at Sunday 14 April 2024, 13:15. This episode was initially placed on Sunday 3 September 2023.
