Goddess statue, 2,100-year-old mansion undermined by explosive in Turkey's north

One of Turkey's most imperative late archeological discovers confronts a grave danger because of impacting movement at a stone quarry in the region.

The château, situated at the pinnacle of the Kurul Rocks in Ordu's Bayadı town, has been experiencing archeological unearthings under the course of educator Yücel Şenyurt since 2010.

The disclosure of the noteworthy Kybele design amid late unearthings brought on extraordinary energy, with around 15,000 individuals hurrying to the city to see the model. However, albeit archeological works keep on being directed on the château, explosive is exploded each day on the slant of the Kurul Rocks disregarding the Melet River, making grave peril for the stronghold.

In 1996, the Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation Board proclaimed the palace as a first-degree archeological and normal site.

The court then wiped out the permit for the quarry, which had been opened inside the secured site. Be that as it may, in 2011, Kırca Engineering, which works the quarry, guaranteed that the quarry and the palace were situated on various rocks masses and properly asked for that the span of the ensured site be lessened.

In spite of the fact that the master report requested by the Ordu Administrative Court expressed that the quarry could totally crush the château, the Ordu Museum and the leader of the unearthings, Şenyurt, made an alternate report, expressing that the field of the quarry could be prohibited from the archeological site.

In like manner, the court endorsed the demand to absolved the quarry zone from the archeologically secured zone.

As a result of the exercises at the quarry, be that as it may, shake tombs under the manor are purportedly being crushed.

Earthy people respond

The leader of the Ordu Environmental Association, Gül Ersan, communicated outrage that Şenyurt had educated specialists that the quarry would not harm the palace.

"Archeologists can't approach the holes; they are taking a gander at them from a separation. They say that the pottery that they discovered near the quarry may have originated from the top. The court requested an assessment from him and he said it would not hurt the archeological site in his report. The organization is keeping on working on account of this report," Ersan said.

Ordu Metropolitan Mayor Enver Yılmaz, who has given 1 million Turkish Liras to the archeological unearthings, likewise censured the circumstance.

"We expanded the service's budgetary support from 50,000 liras to 1 million. Kybele turned into the train of the château. Finding a model in the passageway of the château demonstrates that more antiquities could be found inside. Somewhere in the range of 15,000 individuals went to the palace in two weeks. The quarry was given a permit before I took the post.

Half of this excellent complex has been harmed. We, as the senator's office, Culture and Tourism Ministry and the metropolitan region, protected nature and the manor amid the court procedure. This harm makes us exceptionally pitiful. We will settle it at the earliest opportunity," Yılmaz said.

To those found with the skeletons of last year, the research, the bones were found reaching the trail will lead to injury or death. Again, think of the sacrifice ceremony, or be killed for any reason. There is no data entered in a show organized fight. Organized at a time when the fight does not have skeletons in this way is very interesting. Location of all of them, a few meters away from the center of the settlement even though they are also very interesting. Suggests that they are the victim or the execution, especially burayla getirildikleri.''

Iliad, mentioned in the ancient city of Troy, Trojan War passes

Formerly known as Troy or Troy (Hittite: Vilusa or Truvisa, Greek: Τροία, Ίλιον Troy or Ilion, Latin: Troy or Ilium), thought to have been written by Homer in the Iliad, one of the two mentioned in verse epic war passes the ancient city of Troy.
The ancient Mount Ida (Kaz Dagi), on the outskirts is located in the province of Canakkale. In the 1870s by the German amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the ancient city, near the village of Tevfikiye works largely from Turkey, Germany and Russia. The ancient city, the World Heritage List since 1988, the National Park status since 1996.

French is the language of the ancient city, the effect of "Troi" In reading the word in Turkish, the word in Troy, now replaced by "Troy" has started to leave. If the main reason the city's historical and internationally, "Troy" and is known as the Turkish accurate reading of the word "Trojan" is. But the issue is still controversial. In particular name is common in old documents, the Trojan and the Trojan War is still common name as in the case of Troy, to name some.
The ancient city, the center of the town of Canakkale Tevfikiye west of the village, "Hisarlik Hill" is located at (39 ° 58'K, 26 ° 13). Hill, 200x150m size, 31.2-altitude, and also a large part of the limestone layer.

Hisarlik a hill where the ancient city's long-term bilinmesede, the hill of the archaeological remains in the region, such as the name implies, is near the surface and therefore was called the local sakinlerince hill Hisarlik savunulabilinir opinion. In addition, when it was established the city of Troy Hill Hisarlik, KARAMENDERES and Dümrek River, flows into the bay at the edge of a drop-down her throat, and Gallipoli, it is now thought to a place much closer to the sea.

And given the name of the city, where, today, about the historical district of Çanakkale Province Troas, representing the Asian continent (or Troad) is called.

Allianoi, "The God of Health Asklepion homeland" is known as

20. cleaned at the beginning of the century in part because of the flood, but then again, until the 1950s, the compartment thermae remains were idle. In 1992, the Regional Directorate of Highways is still available by the Roman Bridge, the decision made without a tender by a new bridge was built with a partially deformed.
In the same year by the Izmir Governorship of Izmir restoration of the baths are given to procurement through the Special Provincial Administration.

Tea in the south were the agricultural land belonging to private persons. This is a large modern building in addition to repairs during 2003 have been removed, and uncover ancient baths places.

Dam Yortanlý body work finished, will provide environmental link road construction work is in progress. If the same project, will be all water under the dam water per day to meet Allianoi. In precipitation patterns and vegetation cover are thought to be associated with approximately 40-60 years in the life of the dam lake in the area during this time accumulated silt. And Allianoi approximately 12 - 15 meters will be below the alluvial deposit.

In the meantime, Trakya University, Assistant Professor of Allianoi sitinde Ahmet Yaraş'ın 1998-1999, the management of the General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works, Philip Morris's contributions in the 2000-2004 period and also the sacrifice of the rescue excavations were carried out under Yortanlý Rescue Association is a volunteer organization. 1998-1999 as a result of excavation, the excavated area after learning that Allianoi, Pergamon Museum Directorate on the application, Izmir I Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection Law No. 9229 of 29.03.2001 and the decision day, Allianoi'yi I. Degree Archaeological Site as declared by the excavation has become a real recovery. Meanwhile, Philip Morris in particular displayed significant efforts to introduce the public to sit.
During excavations in 2000 simply restored the level of farm land in excess of an industry and an architecture that can be seen in passing Pergamon-İvrindi item into the path provided. One of the southern boundary of the field season of 2003 Ilıca stream portion of the existing Roman wall solid, increased (fill to prevent collapse), and the other places in western North Ilica protect flood to the flood wall project was held with the two solid protection. Ilya Brook site has been preserved in part thanks to the flood of these walls. Interestingly, it is thought the project was 100 years ago, Governor Kemal, architect W. German excavation team in charge Dörpfeld'den to ask for help. However, tourism earned Ilica. Today's excavation, which is one of the German Archaeological Institute excavations in Pergamon Excavation sometimes received assistance instruments. A wooden viewing platform has been created. Trails and roads were editing as much as possible of the visual field. Studies were made green. Pergamon Museum, the famous statue of the nymph who became a symbol of the site were a total of 10,000 work reslim. Allianoi placement of the center since 1998, except within the lake area is continuing to research all of the excavation. 2 km during this research. Hellenistic period, on a farm in the northeast of the settlement and the belt belongs to the Pergamon water line was discovered more. Again, stay within the lake area, the 311 number and the necropolis necropolis, a Byzantine chapel plot was uncovered in the studies.

By the prime minister to resolve the impasse between the Allianoi Yortanlý Dam was the creation of a commission. Culture and Tourism Ministry of Cultural Assets and Museums General Directorate of calls collected by the academic commission, came to review and consult Allianoi found on 05-06.07.2005.

At the conclusion of the Commission, "delegation in place and the Board as a result of the review and assessment process in the file, the so-called Allianoi registered archaeological site, for its contribution to the protection of cultural history is undisputed that, for this purpose, but offered a realistic solution to the protection of the conservation area proposals to the opinion. On the existence of a culture thousands of years of a process through us do not have the right to destroy, as they certainly should not be forgotten that divert our obligations to future generations. For this reason, instead of looking for instant solutions, and integrated permanently protect the area and exhibited for more time before taking action, is a requirement of national and international responsibilities in this matter. " is called.

Allianoi, culture, health and conference tourism has a visual richness to winning. Allianoi although not yet done enough promotion, draw the attention of tourists coming to Bergama. After the necessary legal arrangements, a simple landscape environment initiated in part by the excavation team is complete, a new country and win the ruins of Pergamum.

Thus, the hot water at 45 ° C with a plant that is protected historical sites and tourism Adatepe'de Congress to win the center will be unique to the county and our country.

Baden Baden Badenweiler in Europe and in many instances, such as spa centers, a few walls preserved only a few meters is sufficient to protect the upper structure Allianoi 9000m2'i over the entire spa is spread over an area. Close to this region in Turkey, Izmir and Balikesir Balcova Ilıcası much more simple, such as health resorts facilities occupancy rate, ongoing throughout the year. And they have contributed much to the country's economy.

Proposed alternative project set in the east and west until the impermeable bedrock layer of concrete to be injected. Curtain wall and method of bracing Allianoi remain under water will be prevented. This spa via a tunnel north of the dam to the pond water will be provided. If this project, if applicable, thermae hill north of the tourist facilities in a purpose by making the congress, culture, health, and with the extraordinary congress for a complex facility can be obtained.
