Modern Turkey hosts dozens on archaeological sites connected to the New Testament (e.g., Syrian Antioch and the Seven Cities of Asia) as well as a couple (Haran and Ararat) tied to the Old Testament. This satellite view locates most of them. I have been working for 20 years to pull satellite images and excavation data for as many sites as possible. Your feedback can be helpful. Here is an alphabetical arrangement of close-up images and information.
