THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE PAST AND Kapıdağ Peninsula CYZIKUS ERDEK

Erdek in antiquity famous Dindymus Mountain (782 meters), including the coast of the peninsula Kapıdağ. How a once in Bodrum, Marmaris and Kusadasi is difficult to believe that they are a small fishing village, because of its proximity to Istanbul Erdek time to believe that the most popular summer resort in a not so hard. Later, the glitter began to blink slowly. When you step off the bus Today you will mediocrity. But back to the time you move towards the edge of the sea, and wrapped around you, enveloping you feel from past silhouettes. For example, flashing encounter Pinar Hotel, once the favorite holiday mekanıydı Vehbi Koç.
Today, as the lifeblood for Erdek ferry service connects the Marmara Islands, life into the county school holidays. Unlike many other large and super-luxury hotels, resort, or sites with similar characteristics have not fallen kaplanmaması Erdek the properties of the most attractive. Instead of them, surrounded by palm trees, used in the walking path lined pedestrian and cyclists will see a relatively more modest hotels. Take one of the balconies at the end of the old days, such as your eyes görünürlerse, why all the negativity people can easily watch the sun unutabildiğini his melting into the sea will understand.
FIRST COIN BASMIŞTI CYZIKUS

Erdek a small town not too much fun. Small, quaint fishing port of olive research being carried out looking at the island of Olives. A ferry to go to one of the biggest entertainment nearby islands of Marmara, the largest Sea of ​​Marmara, which is the most moving Avşa'ya Paşalimanı'na or the calm ...
View on the road to the ruins of the ancient city of Banda Maybe Cyzikus may isteyenleriniz. A solemn sorrow of fate that greeted visitors to the ancient city gezdikçe cilvesiyle also can not help thinking about for a long time on the changes experienced. Çağınının huge amount of very bright white marble floors and stairs of a temple, so almost nothing except frustrated. However, a closer inspection of this marble, even here, in the splendor of a time that farketmenizi.
Cyzikus have a lot to tell about the history books. Today, the Earth was once known as the Peninsula Kapıdağ Arctonessus (Bear Island) was an island called. Bridges connecting the mainland from the colonists established a strategic point Cyzikus'u Milet'ten 756'da BC. Apparently at that time ibaretmiş history repeats itself. BC came back to the city of Miletos 675'de a more established. According to Greek mythology, Jason and the famous Gold Lambskin searching for ways to Argonatlar'ın Cyzikus'a also fallen. Cyzikus people flood in history deserved reputation greatly indebted to the first examples of the coin.
Sitting on the steps of an abandoned temple, once this part of Turkey is very difficult to imagine that the Empire of Persia. However, smart Cyzikus Feudal Lords rebelled against the Persians acted and refused to participate in other Greek city-states in 494 BC, the rebels who escaped the massacre. According to the records of the largest tribute Cyzikus ödermiş Persians. Later today the Pergamene krallarıyla Bergaması entered a tight alliance. In fact, this co-operation which he advanced as far as the king of Pergamum, I. Attalus, Apollonis married a woman named Cyzikuslu. In this region, known to have built the first temple in the Apollonis'in son.

ANCIENT WORLD'S MIRACLE 8th

Still preserved its importance in Roman times a şehirmiş Cyzikus. In 124 the Emperor Hadrian, who visited the city began to have for him to complete the temple in 167 has been bestowed on his successor Aurelius'a. At one time the largest temple in Anatolia, only the floor of the structure, it is also, unfortunately, a bad situation from reaching the present day. Yet many people to the list of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Temple of Hadrian Cyzikus'taki thinks is more appropriate. Some people say the eighth wonder of the world is still here.
No matter how big and powerful, even the collapse of Cyzikus lived. The Arabs who captured the city of Istanbul, they will 673'de here used as a base for attacks. Damaged by earthquakes in a row have Bizanslardan Seljuks. In 1204 the city administration to Istanbul again 1092'de Byzantines subjugated by the fourth crusade army. Byzantines, Latins 1268'de out when you show the date of the most spectacular in the back There is nothing. Large part of the 15th century, the Temple of Hadrian, still ayaktaymış, but the stones are spread around the building is used as building material shrunk. Perhaps this is why in 1837, a Western traveler here, "a heap of ruins" has described as. Today the region is possible to see traces of many structures, tapınığın.
Erdek the fact that it was known then ARTAC founded by Miletos chance or misfortune, but more honest Cyzikus'tan been managed by administrators. 499'da BC, the Greeks against the Persians in 494 BC side should have been included in this sin be paid for destroyed. However, had the last laugh Erdek. Because no one more toparlanamamış Cyzikus, but even in the 20th century Erdek has found himself a new life. Today, near the ferry terminal Cyzikus'tan exhibiting works from the marble has a small open-air museum. Lion-headed cocks deserves special attention in these works are impressive. Unfortunately, there are 2500-year history, witnesses who do not respect, the names of them wrote historical works.

Grand viziers, Şeyhülislamlar, senders, and is where many tombs of men of science, such as the Ottoman protocol at a ceremony in one literally seen place.

Medusa's head stone is that ministers are her reason for substituting the opposite.

 
I. To provide water to the palaces in the vicinity Justinian (527-565) were made during the reign. The cistern, 143 meters long and 65 meters wide and covers an area of ​​9800 square meters in total. Its 336 units are 12 rows of 28 columns, column headers are usually styles of Ion and Corinth. Topics in the Doric style are also found, however, few were left undecorated. The cistern, 4 feet thick, baked-brick wall and surrounded by a waterproofing plastered specifically for the purpose.
According to the seasons changing in time the water level in the cistern, out of the water through pipes at different levels are on the east wall. The tracks left by the water levels, can be seen in columns. Cistern water requirement, 19 km from the city. Belgrad Forest to the north of the emperor Justinian (Justinian) was met by the aqueduct was built.

In 1984, major repairs made ​​during the cleaning of the floor, more than 1 meter below the mud cleared, the original brick floor and 2-column blocks of marble Medusa heads were uncovered. Have been able to walk around the cistern was built by road. Cistern, concerts and various cultural events are held from time to time
The northwest corner of the cistern under the two-column head of Medusa as a rule used in the two examples of the art of sculpture at the age of Rome. 4. century were brought here by taking the structure of these heads, which although not a precise knowledge of young people of an ancient Roman cistern in the construction-only column base structure and removed the need for getirldiği here used to be generally accepted opinion among researchers. (According to another opinion one side of one of the heads of Medusa as a polytheistic religion, the monotheistic religion that has given the inverted during the transition period as it is possible to evaluate a type expression).

One reason for substituting him saying in reverse according to the head of Medusa is that the ministers of stone. Another Arab army, according to a statement to Istanbul, Justinian I heard came out of this cistern made ​​quickly ordered. In this case, the city of the Arab army at the siege before the cistern cistern rather than trying to make a swift completion of the Byzantines was important for the interior decoration. Therefore, the flat stones used as column bases, or constructed value, rather than the aesthetic value of the use of inverted or flat in the building to be constructed as soon as possible, to carry those important to complete.

Karul stressed it believes the new structure remains,''One of them is very well preserved. Mud-brick walls, wooden ceilings of mines and preserved until the finds unearthed a natural,''he said.

Quite different positions in the center of the settlement this year, striking ulaştıklarına Karul skeletons, said:

A small courtyard in the center of the circular shape of the settlement'', as used in the cemetery. Collectively termed the burial graves here have reached a few meters intervals 3. Alışagelmemiş burials, very very interesting. Especially interesting are in the courtyard, are very different. Skeletons in the excavations of this period, usually the child's mother's womb bulunuyorlar stance position. Burials, and we found one of the vertical, the other two in the prone kapaklanmış.''

The burial gifts do not have the

Another issue that makes this different from the skeletons indicate that the absence of a''grave hediyeleri''nin Karul,''skeletons in excavations of this period, and uses some of the items buried with jewelry, that is emerging.

His hands were tied behind the back''the skeleton of 2 adults and 3 children reached. As one of the children connected with the cessation of pig ties caught our attention. This new skeletons who reached close to each other. Some questions come to mind. What it means to be present in the skeletons? 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.''
