No money for the Greek brothel?

It is quite unbelievable that after discovering a Greek brothel among the ruins of Side, sponsors have pulled out and the excavation works have come to a standstill!


Don’t they want to know the whole truth about Side’s past? How can one possibly ignore the very existence of brothels, then and now, I wonder?

The team of archaeologists hopes to continue their excavations at Side as soon as new funds are made available. 

In the meantime, I wonder if their progress around the grand temples of Apollo, Tyche, Dionysus, and Athena Artemis are being hampered by this lack of funds? (see also: Restoration of the Temple of Apollo at Side)
