No, but the pointer (link) to the page may have been changed. I'm not
shocked that the page contents have existed for a while, they just
weren't visible via the consulate's address.

Although what you say is possibly true your reasoning borders on
nonsense. The page could be years old, but wasn't being pointed to as
the main page to load.

What's your interest in running such a stretch of reasoning anyhow? No
one claiming to be involved in the actual management of the page has
commented either way, thus far.

Isn't the more obvious explanation that someone changed the links in
the past few hours, as others have observed?

Why the contortions to suggest otherwise?
