Full Walk of Myra örenyeri demre Turkey ABANDONED URBEX Tombs & Amphitheater HD
Demre is a town and its surrounding district in the #Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of #Turkey, named after the river Demre.
Demre is the Lycian town of #Myra, the home of Saint Nicholas of Myra, the historical man later developed into the figure of Santa Claus. The district was known as Kale until it was renamed in 2005. A substantial Christian community of Greeks lived in Demre (Myra) until the 1920s when they were forced to migrate to Greece after the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[4] The abandoned Greek villages in the region are a striking reminder of this exodus. Abandoned Greek houses can still be seen at Demre and the regions of Kalkan, Kaş and Kaya which is a Greek ghost town.[4] A small population of Turkish farmers moved into the region when the Greek Christians were forced to migrate to Greece.[4] The region is popular with tourists today particularly Christian pilgrims who visit the tomb of Saint Nicholas.

Ruins of Ancient Myra and Lycian Rock Tombs at Demre 2018. Myra - Turkish Culture Portal. Hello Guys. In this video we will continue to show you the sights of the ancient city of Lycians - Myra.
Myra strikes with its rock tombs. Only for the sake of this scene it is worth coming here! Residents of Lycia believed that the higher a person is buried, the closer his soul will be to heaven, and hence to heavenly life. Therefore, the tombs were carved one above the other. And the richer and nobler the person, the more his tomb was placed above others. Some tombs are made in the form of a house. On the tombs are preserved Lycian inscriptions, many of them have not yet been deciphered.
The Lycians assumed that in this form the tombs would last for centuries, unlike the ancient temples built. As experience has shown, usually the conquerors and newly arrived generations dismantled the temples for their needs, not caring at all about their safety, and used as building materials. And rock structures for such purposes were not suitable. So the tombs survived to our times.
Now the tombs are empty – there's nothing left. And once there were stored not only the body of the deceased, but also different valuables, that human acquired during life - expensive clothes, household items, gold and jewelry. In the tombs for a long time, all the wealth of the deceased was preserved, since it was considered a serious crime to open and take something. Even the Romans did not dare to disturb the spirit of the departed into the other world.
In the 7th century, the inhabitants of Myra were forced to leave their inhabited lands. Because of the earthquake, the local river changed its course, and mud flows flooded the city.

Turkey. Demre. Lycian tombs.(Турция. Демре. Ликийские гробницы.)
#Turkey #Demre #Myra #гробницы #DJONDO
Myra (Ancient Greek: τα Μύρα [plural]) is an ancient Greek town in Lycia where the small town of Kale (Demre) is situated today in present day Antalya Province of Turkey. It was located on the river Myros (Demre Çay), in the fertile alluvial plain between Alaca Dağ, the Massikytos range and the Aegean Sea.
Although some scholars equate Myra with the town Mira in Arzawa, there is no proof for the connection. There is no substantiated written reference for Myra before it was listed as a member of the Lycian alliance (168 BC – AD 43); according to Strabo (14:665) it was one of the largest towns of the alliance.
The Greek citizens worshipped Artemis Eleutheria, who was the protective goddess of the town. Zeus, Athena and Tyche were venerated as well.
The ruins of the Lycian and Roman town are mostly covered by alluvial silts. The Acropolis on the Demre-plateau, the Roman theatre and the Roman baths (eski hamam) have been partly excavated. The semi-circular theater was destroyed in an earthquake in 141, but rebuilt afterwards.
Rock-cut tombs in Myra.
There are two necropoleis of Lycian rock-cut tombs in the form of temple fronts carved into the vertical faces of cliffs at Myra: the river necropolis and the ocean necropolis. The ocean necropolis is just northwest of the theater. The best known tomb in the river necropolis (located 1.5 km up the Demre Cayi from the theater) is the Lion's tomb,also called the Painted Tomb. When the traveller Charles Fellows saw the tombs in 1840 he found them still colorfully painted red, yellow and blue.
Andriake was the harbour of Myra in classical times, but silted up later on. The main structure there surviving to the present day is a granary built during the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian (117–138 CE). Beside this granary is a large heap of Murex shells, evidence that Andriake had an ongoing operation for the production of purple dye.
Ми́ра (греч. Μύρα) — город в конфедерации древней Ликии, близ моря, на реке Андрак, у устья которой была гавань Андриаке, согласно преданию в этой гавани пристал к берегу апостол Павел перед своим отправлением в Рим. Территориально город был расположен рядом с современным небольшим городом Демре (Кале; тур. Demre (Kale)) в Турции.
Город Мира был расположен в 5 км от берега Средиземного моря. От города сохранились развалины великолепного греко-римского театра и высеченные в скалах гробницы. Уникальность и своеобразие гробниц можно объяснить тем, что у народов Ликии существовал обычай хоронить мёртвых на возвышенных местах, так как предполагалось, что это поможет им попасть на небо. Являясь одним из крупных городов Ликии, Мира, со времени Феодосия II, была её столицей. В III—II веках до н. э. она получила право чеканить монеты (в этот период Мира входила в Ликийский союз).

Travel Turkey - Exploring the Myra Ruins
Take a tour of Myra Ruins in Turkey -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Myra ruins reside in Turkey on the coast of the Mediterranean, near a town that is now known as Demre.
Myra was once a leading city in a collection of ancient Turkish cities known as Lycia.
The ruins here are renowned for the rock-cut tombs and carved amphitheater.
The two sets of tombs are named river-necropolis and ocean-necropolis.
The interiors of many of the tombs resemble log-cabins; the exteriors were once supposedly painted many different colors.
St. Nicholas of Myra, whose striking church is located amidst the ruins, is said to be one of the original inspirations for Santa Claus.
Demre Myra (General Information)
Kale (Demre, Myra)
Well known for being the hometown of Santa Claus, Kale is an important faith tourism spot in Antalya.
History
The foundation date of Myra is not known exactly. However, the archaeological data, obtained from the researches in the grave reliefs with regard to style, indicates that the city has existed in the 5th century before Hellenistic Period. The city experienced its golden period during the 2nd century AD. Myra, completely destroyed by the earthquake in 141 AD., was rebuilt by the charities of the rich Opromaos from Radiopolis and Lucius Magnun, Roman Proconsul. Artemis Eleutera Sacred Place in the city was also rebuilt. Having been renovated in this period, the theatre with its ornaments was characterised as a wonder of the world in the Late Antique Period. Some of the numerous masks ornamenting this stage building are exhibited in the Demre Museum and some in the Antalya Museum.
During the reign of Theodosius II (408-450 AD.), the city became the Metropolitan of the Lycians. In this period, the reputation of the city as the centre of pilgrimage where diseases having been cured spread not only in Lycia but also throughout the Christian World. The reason for this is that Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) has lived here in Myra in this period.

TURKEY: Xanthos - ancient city ruins [HD]
Xanthos was a center of culture and commerce for the Lycians, and later for the Persians, Greeks, including Macedonians, and Romans who in turn conquered the city and occupied the adjacent territory. After the fall of the Byzantine Empire in the 15th century, the region became Turkish. The ancient city had long since been abandoned.
As the capital of ancient Lycia and the site of its most extensive antiquities, Xanthos has been a mecca for students of Anatolian civilization since the early 19th century.
Although Charles Fellows carried away most of the finds of Xanthos (now in the British Museum) many interesting monuments and structures remain, including two of the most interesting tombs in Lycia.
The site has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.
The ruins of Xanthos are located near the town Kinik, in Antalya Province, Turkey.
