Entry Title: Nemrut Dağı: An Amusing Little Place
Entry:
Nemrut Dağı is an archeological site, the images from which form some of the iconographic tourist pictures of Turkey. Basically, the big crumbly-looking heads. The site is a mountain top, and it is in a Turkish national park. It is not on a major highway route. And therefore it can only be approached from one side or the other. There is no through connection by road.
It is, however, possible to walk across the gap. And this is what I planned to do. The gap, from one parking lot across the site to the other parking lot is only about a quarter of a mile.
My guide book told that the City of Malatya arranged guided tours to Nemrut Dağı. So I chose that option as a way to approach the place; then take my chances on catching a ride down the other side.
In the previous blog I told of arriving to Malatya and meeting Kemal, the Malatya Tourist Office representative. He said that a tour went every day. So, after a couple of days of rest and recovery from a cold, I showed up for the tour to leave on the late morning of June 30.
In the summers Kemal holds his office in a tea garden. And there I met with others attending this days' tour, an Australian family of three from Tasmania. The mini-bus arrived and Kemal saw us off. On the bus already were a Turkish couple.
The 90TL ( US$58.62) price includes transportation to Nemrut Dağı, an evening meal at the nearby hotel, a night in the hotel, breakfast, and a return to Malatya. The schedule is that you arrive in the late afternoon, check into the hotel, have an hour or more to do whatever, then are driven the about 3/4 mile up to the site to have a look around until sunset, then return to the hotel for the evening meal.
The following morning you are awakened around 4am for a return to the top to watch the sunrise. Then return to the hotel for breakfast before the return to Malatya.
For my free time on the first day I chose to look for picture compositions and which included a climb up above the hotel. The Australian family chose to walk on up the road to the site.
All I can say is that on these visits neither the sunset nor sunrise were anything to get excited about. If you've ever seen a sunset or sunrise, well, there you are. The only value added were the brief color added to the site and the views of the dramatic scenery surrounding.
The site itself is amusing for its quirkiness. It is more chaotic than I had expected, not as neat as publicity pictures make it seem. And, judging by some pictures I have seen even more disrupted now than before, where some stelle were in place. It is if they had restored things, then thought better of it and returned things, partially, to the originally chaotic tumbled-down condition that the site may first have presented. I don't know what the deal was.
Well, unlike the others, at the 4am wake-up call I had to pack my gear up and take it along to the top. I am traveling with a backpack, a day pack, and a rolling suitcase, which was my library. It is now greatly lightened as I sent many of my books home from Konya. The ones I've read and those that delt with history and sites I've since passed.
But, the ground is rough. The Australian gent was kind to carry the suitcase up from the parking lot to the site platform.
After the sunrise there was naught to do but pack my gear over to the parking lot on the other side. Fortunately, the other, southern, parking lot was at a lower elevation. The evening before a young Turkish fellow had said hello to me. And again on this morning he again made contact. I found out that he was a friendly tout. And he offered me a ride down the other side.
What it turned out to be was a mini-bus hired by two young Turkish ...

The Heads of Nemrut Dag at Sunset, Eastern Turkey
There is such hype and build-up over the famous, must-see heads built by Antiochus !, King of the Commagene empire on Nemrut Dag that Travels With Sheila felt a twinge of disappointment. Perhaps I expected more of a Lord of The Rings moment and the fact that the statues are fenced off (unlike photos extolling the site) contributed. Believe me. I understand why but photos miscommunicated exactly how close & personal you can get to the statues.
There are two trails up and two choices. Visit the Eastern Terrace at sunrise or Western Terrace at sunset for the most impact. Guess which one the majority of tourists visit? You've got it. Sunset. Unless you choose to rise at 3 a.m., climb the trail in the dark and sit in the frigid air until the sun turns the statues golden. Guides are NOT thrilled if you choose the sunrise option. However, we had no choice.
Visit and make up your own mind.

Outdoors in New Zealand
As a young island nation in the remote southern hemisphere, the need for self reliance inspired a culture of innovation. Necessity is, after all, the mother of invention. However our ingenuity isnt confined to farm equipment and sailing vessels. Over the years, our inventive nature has led to increasingly bizarre options for recreation and sport. These adventures trick your mind into an extreme state of fright, but theyre generally completely safe. From rolling down a hillside inside an inflated plastic sphere to taking the plunge attached only by a rope, its all just miscellaneous madness. The resulting adrenalin rush causes perfectly normal people to yell woooo hooo at full volume, while their friends take amusing pictures to show them later.

Walking in Mount Nemrut Turkey
the Mount of the Gods, the Nemrut Dagı is a 2,134 m (7,001 ft) high mountain in southeastern Turkey with lots of statues at a 1st century BC tomb on the top.
The mountain lies 40km north of Kahta, near Adıyaman. In 62 BC, King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene built on the mountain top a tomb-sanctuary flanked by huge statues (8-9 meters high) of himself, two lions, two eagles and various Greek, Armenian and Persian gods, such as Hercules-Vahagn, Zeus-Aramazd or Oromasdes (associated with the Persian god Ahura Mazda), Tyche, and Apollo-Mithras.

Hello YouTubers! I recently self-published a book on Create Space!
As an English as a Second Language Teacher teaching abroad, I have had unique experiences in the classroom (as all teachers do). However, during my travels abroad, I was inspired to begin writing children's books.
My first self-published book is called, All the Beautiful Girls. It's a short-story all about a girl who has a dream that her mom is teaching her how to be a lady. In this story, the young girl learns ten different positive characters from ten different ladies.
This book is great for children aged 5 - 10. It's great for any classroom, home, bookstore, or library! Please take the time to view this beautiful treasure online. It would be a book cherished in the home and great for classroom management!
