Short version: yes, most ancient cities come in layers, with the oldest at the bottom, as later inhabitants build over the previous ones' foundations. (The Athens subway has a neat display on this.) The Troy of the Iliad was layer VII at Hisarlik.

There are times when I see posts like that and want to respond just with "You probably think you're a smart person."

My sister and her life partner live in Minneapolis. I know that fear, and the guilt of your relief. 💜

Many people have already spoken my mind about this, but I wanted to add my voice to the encouragement to reach out. :)
