Ruins in the Greek city of Ephesus (modern-day Turkiye) before and after excavation

It isnt even the new spelling. The new spelling has that weird "u" with the dots. Only Turkey would decide a new international name using characters that arent default. They could have gone with Turkia(like Czechia) or even Turkiye, but no, they had to be assholes for no reason so they can complain when people misspell their name. Victim mentality minmaxing.

Not to mention that the reason for the change is beyond silly(because the old name sounds like the bird). But at least thats their prerogative.

The before picture is much much closer than then tm second picture.
