After telling us that there were \"powerful images in this temple,\" the Greek Philosopher Libanius (AD 314-394), describes the tower, noting that \"from its top one could overlook the entire plain of Harran.\" [...] A team from the Chicago Oriental Institute was about to start a major dig around the ruins of the Grand Mosque in 1986, but it seems that the Turkish authorities insisted on such restrictive practices that the project had to be abandoned. Current excavations by Harran University and the Sanliurfa Museum Directorate show little interest in recovery of substantive remains from the city's pre-Islamic period.”",
