If you found out an ancient city was buried under your house ???

Archaeologist may have found the lost city of Etzanoa in Kansas which is part of the United States of American. Its a Native American settlement that may have housed 20,000+ people that is contradictory to what is taught about life back then.
More research is being done in the area and the city is looking to maybe market this as a tourist attraction. I'd love to go!
However, there is question about if private land owners would open up property for visitors? If they found a lost city or structure under your land would you allow visitors to see it?
For me it would depend on what it was and if it could be safely shared without destroying or disrespecting those that may be buried there.
Of all the places to discover a lost city, this pleasing little community seems an unlikely candidate.

see thats me! I did buy a house out in the country on a mountain. There isn't a lot out here and that is part of the major appeal!
Doing the treat others how you want to be treated.. I'd love to see some more of the lost treasures, so why hide it if I could share it?
Also think of some possible tax incentives to sharing it? that city could easily offer a tax rate discount on property taxes to land owners who share access because they would have increased tourism dollars!

Interesting question. The ground behind the apartment complex we are in currently (shown in the photo) was found to contain the ruins of a 2000yr old Roman Bath-house. Subsequently the site was used as a children's burial ground, and the skeletons therein are on display, a 15month old in a clay pot (broken) and a 10yr old. The third grave had no remains in it. The picture shows it back in 2011, today it is covered, protected and is open to the public, free of charge.

That is sooo neat!
I've been reading up a lot of different older cities finding levels underground for lost buildings and places from ancient times. with the new use of drones being more available for every day people to use, even more ancient sites are being re-discovered!
ancient art, artifacts, buildings, and who knows what! now if only they got some drones for water research in private / common hands, I wonder what else we may one day discover.

I think that's awesome they found a buried city. Like you, it would depend on the circumstances, whether I would allow anyone to come traipsing through my property.
