In 2014 aerial photography revealed a submerged structure beneath the water of Lake Iznik, near the ancient city of Nicaea. Was it the location of the First Council of Nicaea?
Brent talks with Mark Fairchild one of the archaeologists who discovered the Basilica. He’s the author of a book on the subject from IVP called ‘The Underwater Basilica of Nicaea’. Now he has a forthcoming article on the Basilica about to appear in ‘Biblical Archaeology Review’.
