Hirapolis muzesi pamukkale denizli
Denizli ilinin 18 km. kuzeyinde yer alan Hierapolis antik kentinin Arkeoloji literatüründe “Holy City” yani Kutsal Kent olarak adlandırılması, kentte bilinen bir çok tapınak ve diğer dinsel yapının varlığından kaynaklanmaktadır.Kentin hangi eski coğrafi bölgede yer aldığı tartışılır. Hierapolis coğrafi konumu ile kendisini çevreleyen çeşitli tarihi bölgeler arasında yer almaktadır. Antik coğrafyacı Strabon ile Ptolemaios verdikleri bilgilerde, Karia bölgesine sınır olan Laodikeia ve Tripolis kentlerine yakınlığı ile Hierapolisin bir Frigya kenti olduğunu ileri sürerler. Antik kaynaklarda, kentin Hellenistik dönem öncesi adı ile ilgili bir bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Hierapolis olarak adlandırılmadan önce kentte bir yaşamın var olduğunu Ana Tanrıça kültünden dolayı biliyoruz.
Kentin kuruluşu hakkında bilgilerin kısıtlı olmasına karşın; Bergama Krallarından II. Eumenes tarafından MÖ. II. YY. başlarında kurulduğu ve Bergamanın efsanevi kurucusu Telephosun karısı Amazonlar kraliçesi Hieradan dolayı, Hierapolis adını aldığı bilinmektedir.
Hierapolis, Roma İmparatoru Neron dönemindeki (MS. 60) büyük depreme kadar, Hellenistik kentleşme ilkelerine bağlı kalarak özgün dokusunu sürdürmüştür. Deprem kuşağı üzerinde bulunan kent, Neron dönemi depreminden büyük zarar görmüş ve tamamen yenilenmiştir. Üst üste yaşadığı bu depremlerden sonra kent, tüm Hellenistik niteliğini kaybetmiş, tipik bir Roma kenti görünümünü almıştır. Hierapolis Roma döneminden sonra Bizans döneminde de çok önemli bir merkez olmuştur. Bu önem, MS. IV. yüzyıldan itibaren Hıristiyanlık merkezi olması (metropolis), MS. 80 yıllarında, Hz. İsa’nın havarilerinden olan, Aziz Philipin burada öldürülmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Hierapolis, XII. yüzyıl sonlarına doğru Türklerin eline geçmiştir.

BURSA GRAND CITY TIME LAPSE
Bursa is a large city in Turkey, located in northwestern Anatolia, within the Marmara Region. It is the fourth most populous city in Turkey and one of the most industrialized metropolitan centers in the country. The city is also the administrative center of Bursa Province.
Bursa was the first major and second overall capital of the Ottoman State between 1335 and 1363. The city was referred to as Hüdavendigar (meaning God's gift) during the Ottoman period, while a more recent nickname is Yeşil Bursa (meaning Green Bursa) in reference to the parks and gardens located across its urban fabric, as well as to the vast and richly varied forests of the surrounding region. The ski resort of Mount Uludağ towers over it. The mountain was called the Mysian Olympus by the Romans who lived there before. Bursa has rather orderly urban growth and borders a fertile plain. The mausoleums of the early Ottoman sultans are located in Bursa and the city's main landmarks include numerous edifices built throughout the Ottoman period. Bursa also has thermal baths and several museums, including a museum of archaeology.
The shadow play characters Karagöz and Hacivat are based on historic personalities who lived and died in Bursa. Bursa is also home to some of the most famous Turkish dishes such as İskender kebap, specially candied marron glacés, peaches and Turkish Delight. Bursa houses the Uludağ University, and its population can claim one of the highest overall levels of education in Turkey. The historic towns of İznik (Nicaea), Mudanya and Zeytinbağı are all situated in Bursa Province.
In 2014, Bursa had a population of 1,800,278, while Bursa Province had 2,787,539 inhabitants.

The city of ZEUGMA was founded by SELEVKOS NIALOV near the EUPHRATE RIVER in 300 B.C. He named the city SELEVKEiA EUPHRATES. It was one of the four important cities of COMMAGENES in the first centure B.C. The Romans conquered the city and the region in 64 B.C. and then changed its name for ZEUGMA, which means passage/bridge. The SCYTHIANS and the fourth Roman region established their positions in the city. SAPUR 1, the king of SASSANID, destroed and burnt ZEUGMA in 256 A.D. After that date, ZEUGMA lost its magnificence, but was still settled during late ROMAN and early BYZANTINE times.
The silk road, which stretched from ANTAKYA to CHINA, was passing through ZEUGMA: This is why the city was such an important commercal, strategic and cultural centre.
Salvage Excavations were conducted by the museum of GAZIANTEP in 1992-2000, in collaboration with the WEST AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY (1993), The FRENCH INSTITUTE OF ANATOLIAN STUDIES and NANTES UNIVERSITY (1994-20000. Many villas with mosaic pavements were found, as well as FRESCOES, STATUETTES, a statue of GOD MARS; baths, part of the forum and one room with archives. In the B-area, excavations took place in 2000 under the coordination of the southeastern ANATOLIA REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ADMINISTRATION (GAP) and THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE. They were funded by the PACKARD HUMANITIES INSTITUTE (PHI). THE GAZIANTEP MUSEUM and international teams of archaeologist undertook the rescue excavations.
In the near future, remains of the city will be exhibited in ZEUGMA OPEN AIR MUSEUM after the completion of restoration works.

Paleolithic artifacts found in the Tekkeköy Caves can be seen in Samsun Archaeology Museum.
The earliest layer excavated of the höyük of Dündartepe revealed a Chalcolithic settlement. Early Bronze Age and Hittite settlements were also found there[2] and at Tekkeköy.
Tumuli, containing tombs dated between 300BC and 30BC, can be seen at Amisos Hill.
Samsun (then known as Amisos, alternative spelling Amisus) was settled between the years of 760 - 750 BC by people from Miletus,[3] who established a flourishing trade relationship with the ancient peoples of Anatolia. The city's ideal combination of fertile ground and shallow waters attracted numerous traders.
In the 3rd century BC the city came under the expanded rule of the Kingdom of Pontus. The Amisos treasure may have belonged to one of the kings. The Kingdom of Pontus had been part of the empire of Alexander the Great. However, the empire was fractured soon after Alexander's death in the 4th century BC. At its height, the kingdom controlled the north of central Anatolia and mercantile towns on the northern Black Sea shores.
The Romans took over in 47 BC and Amisos became part of Bithynia et Pontus province (and later Dioecesis Pontica) of the eastern Roman Empire.
For the period after the fall of Rome the Eastern Roman Empire is now called the Byzantine Empire. The city was part of the theme of Armeniakon.[4]
Samsun Castle was built.
When Constantinople was conquered in 1204 by the Fourth Crusade, Amisos was governed by a prudent official named Sabbas, who was accordingly popular. When the army of the Trebizond Empire under Emperor Alexios I appeared before its walls and demanded allegiance to Trebizond, Sabbas refused; the town was subjected to a siege until help arrived from the Sultan of Iconium. Knowing full well he lacked the resources to keep this city independent, Sabbas eventually acknowledged the nominal rule of Theodore Laskaris.[5][unreliable source?]
Samsun was one of the Genoese colonies.
The city is both an Eastern Orthodox and a Roman Catholic titular see.
Under the Ottomans the city became part of the Sanjak of Canik (Turkish: Canik Sancağı), which was at first part of Rûm Eyalet.
In the later Ottoman period the land around the town mainly produced tobacco. The town was connected to the railway system in the second half of the 19th century, and tobacco trade boomed.
Replica of the cargo ship SS Bandırma, which carried Atatürk from Istanbul and arrived in Samsun on May 19, 1919, the date which traditionally marks the beginning of the Turkish War of Independence.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk established the Turkish liberation movement in Samsun on May 19, 1919, the date which traditionally marks the beginning of the Turkish War of Independence. Later in the war the city was bombarded. As of 1920, Samsun's population totaled about 36,000.[6]

Çeşme highlights nine of its faces
The western Turkish town of Çeşme, a district of the İzmir province, has launched a campaign to promote nine of its local destinations known for their unique beauty.
“We think that not all the aspects of Çeşme are known, despite the fact that it is one of the most popular and oldest destinations in Turkey and the pearl of the Aegean,” Mayor Muhittin Dalgıç said at a launch ceremony at Istanbul’s Rahmi Koç Museum on April 7.
A hub of joy
The local population of the whole peninsula is around 35,000, but it is increasingly becoming an important tourist destination that rivals Bodrum.
“We perceive Çeşme as a hub of joy that lives to its fullest 12 months of the year. All of these neighborhoods, Reisdere, Ovacık, Ilıca, Ildırı, Germiyan, Dalyan, [Çeşme center], Çiftlikköy and Alaçatı, present different experiences for various preferences,” he said.
Alaçatı
Named “Agrilia” in ancient times, Alaçatı is at the very center of the ancient region of Ionia, starting from the south of İzmir and reaching all the way to the Menderes River. Alaçatı is noted for its breeze that does not move the sea surface, wind surfing, terebinths dripping turpentine from its branches, Friday antique market, oriel-windowed mansions and herb festival that has become a gastronomical tradition. Its historical stone houses were mostly built between 1850 and 1890. With its conservationist approach, Alaçatı has become one of the most authentic resorts on the Aegean.
Germiyan
Ethnically different from others, the Turkmen village Germiyan is a settlement built by an Anatolian principality, the Germiyanids, and is home to a unique olive type, the “date olive.” This olive species, which is endemic to the region, and the town’s sourdough bread make the village famous. The coffeehouse in the village square has an authentic ambiance and tourists often stop by for a tea.
Ilıca
Ilıca is one of Çeşme’s most popular spots with its wide and almost 2-kilometer-long beaches with white sand, offering quality accommodation and thermal facilities. Warm thermal waters in the sea make the Ilıca beach and other beaches around the area a giant thermal pool. One of the most important features of Çeşme’s beaches, especially Ilıca, is that the waters remain shallow for the first 100 meters from the shore. Ilıca offers an extremely pleasant and safe vacation opportunity for especially families with children and senior travelers.
Ovacık
Ovacık, with its adjacent soft peaks and regional breeze, is a very unique area. For this reason, vineyards and wine production are quite widespread. There are many professional and amateur vineyards in the region. Alongside wine producing, fruit juice, olive oil, lavender and grape seed trade is also important. Ovacık is a destination for gastronomy enthusiasts with its special artichokes, melons and sheep, which are under protection.
Ildırı
Ildırı is located 27 kilometers away from Çeşme’s center on a beautiful bay with small islands. It was the first ancient settlement in the Çeşme Peninsula, known originally as Erythrai. The ancient theater on the north slope of the acropolis was built in the third century B.C. The Athena Temple and the ancient theater are extremely beautiful for archaeology enthusiasts, especially at sunset. Ildırı also has much to make visitors salivate, with artichokes, fish restaurants, lokma (donut-like Aegean snack) and breakfast venues.
Dalyanköy
Also known as “Eski Camii” (Old Mosque), Dalyanköy is two kilometers north of Çeşme. During the Byzantine era, the father in law of Kılıç Arslan I, Emir Çaka, seized the peninsula and arrived in Çeşme in 1081, settling Turks from the Oghuz tribe there. With the ruins of the mosque and wide cemetery, it is an interesting example of 11th-century Turkish settlement. The village attracted a lot of migrants from the Black Sea at the beginning of the last century. Dalyan is a must-see stop for a variety of choices for flavor seekers with its fish and seafood restaurants.

Circassians
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Circassians (Russian: Черкесы Čerkesy), also known by their endonym Adyghe (Circassian: Адыгэхэр Adygekher, Russian: Ады́ги Adýgi), are a Northwest Caucasian nation native to Circassia, many of whom were displaced in the course of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the 19th century, especially after the Russo-Circassian War in 1864. In its narrowest sense, the term Circassian includes the twelve Adyghe (Circassian: Адыгэ, Adyge) princedoms (three democratic and nine aristocratic); Abdzakh, Besleney, Bzhedug, Hatuqwai, Kabardian, Mamkhegh, Natukhai, Shapsug, Temirgoy, Ubykh, Yegeruqwai and Zhaney, each star on the Circassian flag representing each princedom. However, due to Soviet administrative divisions, Circassians were also designated as the following: Adygeans (Adyghe in Adygea), Cherkessians (Adyghe in Karachay-Cherkessia), Kabardians (Adyghe in Kabardino-Balkaria) and Shapsugians (Adyghe in Krasnodar Krai), although all the four are essentially the same people residing in different political units.
Most Circassians are Sunni Muslim. The Circassians mainly speak the Circassian languages, a Northwest Caucasian dialect continuum with three main dialects and numerous sub-dialects. Many Circassians also speak Turkish, Russian, English, Arabic and Hebrew, having been exiled by Russia to lands of the Ottoman Empire, where the majority of them today live. About 800,000 Circassians remain in historical Circassia (the modern-day titular Circassian republics of Adygea, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia as well as Krasnodar Krai and the southwestern parts of Stavropol Krai and Rostov Oblast), and others live in the Russian Federation outside these republics and krais. The 2010 Russian Census recorded 718,727 Circassians, of whom 516,826 are Kabardian, 124,835 are other Adyghe in Adygea, 73,184 are Cherkess and 3,882 Shapsug.The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization estimated in the early 1990s that there are as many as 3.7 million ethnic Circassian diaspora (in over 50 countries) outside the titular Circassian republics (meaning that only one in seven ethnic Circassians live in the homeland), and that, of these 3.7 million, more than 2 million live in Turkey, 300,000 in the Levant (mostly modern-day Jordan and Syria) and Mesopotamia and 50,000 in Western Europe and the United States.
Istanbul Metro
The Istanbul Metro (Turkish: İstanbul Metrosu) is a rapid transit underground railway network that serves the city of Istanbul, Turkey. It is operated by İstanbul Ulaşım (Istanbul Transport), a public enterprise, controlled by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. The oldest section is the metro is M1 line, which opened in 1989; it now includes 65 stations in service, with 30 more under construction.
The system currently consists of four lines named M1, M2, M3 and M4. More lines are under construction or planned: M5 (Üsküdar-Çekmeköy/Sancaktepe) is on the Asian side; while M7 (Mecidiyeköy-Mahmutbey), and M6 Mini-Metro (Levent-Hisarüstü) will be on the European side.
