Firsts are always exciting. Our first teacher, our first job, our first child impress upon us a very different impact. Quite similar to this journal and the project behind it! The project created through the cooperation of the TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership with The Ministry of Culture and Tourism is in fact a very important first step for Turkey in this field. A project aimed at vitalizing museums all around the country by a new approach to the matter, namely by designing museums who invite and welcome their visitors as opposed to museums that just wait quietly. This journals goal is to be the voice of and the guide to this project. Museum offer an occasion to meet with history. History paves the way to prepare the future in awareness of the experiences of the past. The Museum Journal (Mze Dergisi) intends to give its readers an insight into the episodes of this important journey. It will open its pages to those involved in the project, to those who set their hearts on archaeology, to those who have dreams and those who have something to say. This journal sets out with these objectives and this motto, in the hope to discover the magical world of archaeology together with its readers. Hello to everyone from our first edition!

To this end, TRSAB is planning to benefit from the experience it acquired in the recent past while carrying out the stanbul Archaeological Museum development project, for the management of 48 different museums and historical sites all around Turkey. The Association (TRSAB) who, in collaboration with MTM, was awarded the contract for the modernization of ticket booths and management of museums and historical sites by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, plans to put its signature under a series of new initiatives in the field of cultural tourism. TRSAB has made a commitment to pay 1.575 million Turkish pounds until 31 December 2016, the end date of the contract. Its modernization project concerning ticket booths and technological infrastructure has a financial scope of 18 million Turkish pounds. The employment of well-trained professional staff and the use of state of the art toll gate equipment yielded a reduction of 87 percent in the number of unauthorized entries. Instant and reliable information flow Due to electromechanical crossing and trailing control systems and the installation of cameracontrolled toll gates, TRSAB-MTM is able to collect instantly the necessary data.Through a system which provides for the transmission of data to three different centres, entries through the toll gates can be checked instantly at the TRSAB Centre, MTM and the Ministry. The passage of a visitor through the electromechanical toll gate lasts approximately three seconds including the screening of the ticket, thereby contributing to a significant reduction in queuing times. Personalized Museum Card The TRSAB-MTM Partnership is preparing the infrastructure in order to expand to foreign tourists the Museum Card system which has been in practice so far for Turkish citizens only.

When the practice of Museum Cards for foreign tourists comes into effect, the entrance to museums for foreign visitors will be facilitated through high-tech equipment using computer software programmes enabling the storage of personalized data. The visitor will then be welcomed at the toll gate by a greeting message in its own language. Electronic data collecting systems will enable, through on the spot surveys, the transmission of customer satisfaction reports on visitors general impressions to the Ministry. Communication, transportation and visit with a single card TRSAB-MTMs efforts to promote cultural tourism and enhance product quality and customer satisfaction encompass even further projects. TRSAB is taking steps with a view to creating a new type of multi-purpose card to be valid for a period of 2 or 3 days, which will enable tourists not only to enter museums but also to use the means of transportation such as city busses, underground, ferries etc. and which will be used also to make home calls from automatic phone booths. Moreover, the same card will provide the possibility to benefit from price reductions when shopping at designated stores. These projects are intended to make life easier for the 4 million 250 thousand individual tourists who visit Turkey each year. Smart phones at the service of tourism Furthermore, TRSAB-MTM is also working on a type of software programme to be utilized in smart cellular phones, increasingly in use around the world. This will be an application to be downloaded once onto cellular phones and which will deliver information concerning museums and tourist destinations in the vicinity, about time, contents and location of various cultural events and activities. Through a double dimension code, the users will be able to have their cellular

phones screened at the new type toll gates, thus utilizing the same software programme as a mode of payment. They will also have phone access to tourism information office line as well as police and gendarmerie hotlines in case of emergency. The corresponding GSM cards will be made available for sale on the internet, on mobile TRSAB-MTM facilities such as special vehicles and special kiosk counters placed at important tourist destinations and pertinent locations. Promotion activities speed up TRSAB-MTM is installing six meter- wide LED screens in public places all around Turkey with a view to attracting the attention of domestic and foreign visitors to museums and creating increased awareness about diverse destinations of interest. Documentary films on historical sites, museums and various events and activities performed in such places will be shown on these giant screens. It is clear that campaigns on national and international television stations as well as on the internet constitute the backbone of promotion programmes. In this framework, a vast visual archive will be created containing photographs of museums (without a proper internet website) as well as of historical and other points of interest. Detailed information on particular museums will be displayed on their own internet websites. This project will also include tri-dimensional virtual museum visit programmes on the internet which will contribute to increased income for the museums. The revenue gained by TRSAB-MTM within the six years of the implementation of the contract will then be re-invested for the renovation and restoration of museums as well as for the creation of city museums. In short, an exciting new era will begin in the field of cultural tourism in Turkey, thanks to the cooperation established between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the TRSAB-MTM Partnership. *The complete list of museums and historical sites subject to the TRSAB-MTM management and modernization project is shown on Pages 76 and 77.

In the aftermath of the transfer of the operational responsibility of 48 museums and historical sites to the TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership, we conducted an interview with the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Erturul Gnay, who kindly answered our questions. Mr. Gnay emphasized that the Association of the Turkish Travel Agencies (TRSAB), having been established by law, is the sole organization in this field with a legal status besides the Ministry itself. He said, Therefore, we work in close cooperation with TRSAB, in the understanding that two major institutions who operate in the same area should act in coordination and solidarity. The service sale contracts concluded between our Ministry and TRSAB, concerning areas like museums ticket booths modernization, allow the Ministry to devote more time to its principal functions. MZE DERG (MUSEUM JOURNAL): There has been a noticeable progress in recent years in the area of cultural tourism and the conceptual approach to museums. Would you please dwell upon the endeavours of your Ministry concerning the subject matter? ERTURUL GNAY: We are working on creating an increased public awareness as to Turkeys cultural heritage, its museums and historical sites, since 2008. In this context, we have seen it as a necessity to enhance the service quality. We took a few steps even before dealing with the modernization project of the museum ticket booths. For instance, we introduced the Museum Card system which enabled our domestic customers to visit the museums at a reduced rate, so that a greater number of Turkish citizens could be acquainted with the cultural heritage of their own country. Furthermore, we invited tenders from private investors concerning museum shops. As a result of this, a number of museum shops were open all around Turkey, offering high quality products for sale. These efforts paved the way to a lively discussion in the public opinion on the general concept of museums. Recently, we invited bids for the modernization project of museums ticket booths and toll gates. The TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership won the tender and was awarded the contract for a six years term, on the modernization of the 52 ticket booths of 48 museums and historical sites in various regions of Turkey.

MZE DERG: Why was the project on the modernization and operation of museums ticket booths subject to outward commissioning? What sort of basic problem was preoccupying the Ministry concerning the ticket booths? ERTURUL GNAY: Especially the generally mediocre standard of the employees was the greatest handicap. Their lacking the proper qualification and a genuine commitment to their job was conducive to many cases of illicit

MZE DERG: Gielerin iletim haklar ve modernizasyonu neden ihale konusu oldu? Gielerde bakanln yaad temel sorunlar nelerdi? ERTURUL GNAY: Mzelerimizde, mzecilikle ilgili fazlaca bilgisi olmayan, orta standartta memurlar alyordu. Mze ile ilgili iselletirdikleri zel bir duygu, aldklar eitim olmad iin gielerde baz problemlerle karlayor, ok sayda kayrma, kollama, kaak ihbar alyorduk.

MZE DERG: Gielerdeki modern turnikeler sayesinde her gei belgelenmi oluyor. Bunun turizm istatistiklerine yansmas olacak m? ERTURUL GNAY: Evet.

entries. Following the transfer of the ticket booths operation to the TRSABMTM Business Partnership, we retrained around 150 of our employees towards various other jobs including security. New, better-trained personnel was put in the care of the ticket booths. Visitors are now enjoying a higher quality of service at museums entrances. They are welcomed by well-trained employees, including attitude, politeness, knowledge and a better external appearance in the way of the personnels clothing standards. Since the TRSAB-MTM Partnership is committed to raise the level of income from ticket booths, they are eager to prevent illicit entries of which the number was already seriously reduced in a very short period of time. This experience is giving us some clue as to the dimension of the problem in the past. MZE DERG: We understand that each crossing through the toll gates is recorded i.e. documented due to a newly installed technically advanced equipment. Is it to expect that this technique will have an improving effect on statistical data collecting in the field of tourism? ERTURUL GNAY: Yes. This type of cooperation allows us to gather data on visitors profiles. In previous years, local authorities, museum security employees and some other staff members effectuated entries which were not reflected upon our statistics. In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded an increase in the number of tourists coming to Turkey and this was naturally reflected upon the number of museums visitors. However, the augmentation in the number of museum visits is sensibly exceeding the overall increase figure of tourists, due to the fact that illicit entries were effectively prevented. Consequently, on the one hand, we are now able to gather reliable statistical data and, on the other hand, we will succeed in securing a higher revenue from the museums. MZE DERG: The TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership made an overall number of 195 different pledges in the framework of this contract, besides preventing illicit entries and contributing to an increase of the income from museums. Which commitment on behalf of TRSAB-MTM is the most remarkable in your opinion?

The visitor must feel happy about the treatment he or she receives at the ticket booth, so that he or she will keep a positive mental image of Turkey and leave our country with a good impression and feeling. This is our most cherished goal and this is what we are expecting from TRSAB-MTM in the first place. MZE DERG: The project includes components such as the creation of individual internet websites for each museum, the expansion of the scope of virtual museum visits, the inception of a new type of Museum Card etc... ERTURUL GNAY: Yes, of course... For instance, we were not allowed to receive payment in foreign currency at ticket booths because of a legal obstacle. This constituted a disadvantage from a marketing point of view because some guests without Turkish currency at the moment were simply walking away. We changed that situation, now we can sell our services against foreign currency. Furthermore, museum tickets can be purchased in advance through internet and/or at special kiosks at airports or even by telephone. In consequence, we now have a much more efficient marketing network, offering great flexibility to the customer who can purchase tickets in a variety of ways, in the currency of his or her preference. MZE DERG: Can you tell us in which way the supervision of ticket booths is carried out? ERTURUL GNAY: We are able to conduct a more careful supervision than before. The Ministrys competence as regards price determination and the overall administration of museums is maintained. We are developing supervision schemes within our cooperation with TRSAB-MTM. For instance, we now have the technical capability to conduct a local supervision of all museums at a given regional centre, coupled with a simultaneous central supervision of museums around Turkey at the Ministrys headquarters in Ankara, some possibility that we were missing earlier. Moreover, the TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership is being monitored by an international auditing firm. Thanks to this type of solid collaboration, we are progressing towards a sound and modern system. MZE DERG: You were already involved in an earlier cooperation with TRSAB as regards the stanbul Archaeological Museum, before the current deal concerning 48 museums. Would you please briefly dwell on that experience? ERTURUL GNAY: We had a principal sponsorship agreement with TRSAB on this matter. TRSAB is the sole institution established by law in this field besides the Ministry of Culture and Tourism itself. There are, of course, many other associations and professional organizations of hotel

Mzelerimizin, renyerlerimizin dzeni konusunda zaman zaman taleplerimiz oluyor. Birok altyap ihtiyacnn giderilmesinde ortak almalarmz oldu... stanbul Arkeoloji Mzeleri alannda olduu gibi baz zel szlemeler yapld.

Her iki kesim de bu bilinle ve dayanma anlay iinde alyor. MZE DERG: Mzelerde kaak geilerin bu i ortakl ile engellenebileceini dnyor musunuz? ERTURUL GNAY: Elbette. TRSAB, Trkiyeye, mzeye gelen turisti getirmekten, tamaktan sorumlu bir organizasyon. Bu alann denetimini TRSABMTM Ortakl ile birlikte yaptmz zaman, bizden habersiz bir ku uamaz. MZE DERG: Bu tip hizmet alm anlamalar bakanln i ykn hafifletiyor mu? ERTURUL GNAY: Mzelerde hizmet standard son ylda ciddi biimde ykseliyor. Mzekart bir admd, mze maazalar bir admd.

ERTURUL GNAY: Trkiyede turizmin, toplumsal gelime ve ekonomi asndan temel bir sektr haline geldiini gryoruz. Turizmi klasik, bilinen ve kolay snrlarndan dar tama ihtiyac hissediyorum.

businesses, tourist guides etc. But TRSAB is the legal representative organization of all Turkish travel agencies. In such capacity, it has a vocation to stand in close cooperation with our Ministry. We make proposals, we listen to their proposals; both sides benefit immensely from this collaboration conducted in a spirit of solidarity. They support our endeavours in the field of archaeology. We formulate requests and seek advice from them concerning the system of museums and historical sites. We also cooperate in the area of infrastructure restoration... We had some specific contracts with TRSAB such as the one

Kltr ve Turizm Bakanl ve TRSAB ibirlii ile oluturulan Mzekart Projesi tantm toplantsndan. From the introductory meeting for the Museum Card project developed under the cooperation of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and TRSAB.

regarding the stanbul Archaeological Museum. It is of outmost importance that tourism in Turkey does not remain confined to a casual and shallow routine, but develops itself more and more in the direction of tourism of culture and history. This is significant from the vantage point of the prestige of our Ministry as well as for the future of Turkish tourism industry. Both sides share these objectives and coordinate their work in this direction. MZE DERG: Do you think that the problem of illicit entries at museums can be defeated through this business partnership? ERTURUL GNAY: Yes, I do. TRSAB is an organization in charge of bringing tourists to Turkey, also responsible for ensuring their access to the museums. Therefore, since the supervision is assured through the cooperation between the Ministry and the TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership, this problem can be eradicated. MZE DERG: Do this kind of collaboration agreements alleviate the task of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism? ERTURUL GNAY: The standard of the service at museums has been constantly upgraded within the last three years. The Museum Card was an important step forward, likewise, the museum shops. The modernization of ticket booths is yet another significant step. I am sure that the ticket booths, the museum shops and the museums themselves are in good hands. The Museum Card system allows our people to visit easily museums and historical places. The mission of the Ministry is to assure the overall administration of the museums with a view to preparing them for future challenges, such as wear and tear etc. It is now possible for me to devote more time to these necessary and vital tasks. For example, the restoration work we are conducting in the 3rd and 4th courtyards of the Topkap Palace is now moving on much faster. MZE DERG: Would you like to mention any other point pertaining to your cooperation with TRSAB in the area of the conservation of Turkeys cultural heritage? ERTURUL GNAY: We realize that tourism has become a fundamental sector in Turkey, as much for the economy as for social development. I feel the need to go beyond the classical, ordinary and simple boundaries of the tourism business. We are searching for new solutions as how to protect our museums, our historical sites, our architectural heritage, our natural spaces. In this context, our collaboration with TRSAB occupies a foremost place. We are grateful to everyone who cooperates with us.

The TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership won a tender concerning the modernization and operational management of 48 museums and historical sites ticket booths and toll-gates for a six years period. The Partnership who is committed to boost visitors entries, will employ itself to introduce modern technologies and operational methods. TRSAB Chairman of the Board, Mr. Baaran Ulusoy answered our questions related to the work of the TRSAB-MTM Partnership on this matter, as well as the process through which they have been awarded the relevant contract. MZE DERG (MUSEUM JOURNAL): You made a commitment to pay 1.575 billion Turkish pounds for this project. What was your motivation when you made this bid? Which gains are you expecting from the realization of your endeavours in this regard for TRSAB and for the Turkish tourism industry? BAARAN ULUSOY: We participated in the tender of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism concerning the operation of 48 national, state-owned museums and historical sites and we won the bid. I would like to underline that this is not a privatization or privilege transfer deal, it is a service sale contract. To begin with, ticket booths and toll gates will be equipped with modern technology so as to prevent unauthorized entries and reach a greater number of visitors. We took over the toll booths quite recently. Nevertheless, we already recorded a decrease of 87 percent in the number of illicit entries since the 3rd of January. The passage of a tourist through the toll gate will be completed within seconds. Modern methods and practices will facilitate the journey of individual tourists in Turkey so that they will leave our country with better impressions. MZE DERG: The Protocol you signed with the Ministry includes the modernization of the museum ticket booths in addition to their operational responsibility. Would you please dwell upon your investment prospects with regard to infrastructure renovation? BAARAN ULUSOY: We plan to invest 18 million Turkish pounds. We will have completed 70 percent of this investment in the first year. When we add on the personnel wages and operational charges and calculate the amortization, this figure will sum up approximately to the double. MZE DERG: We know that you made 197 pledges within this contract. Which, among those, is for you the most exciting one? BAARAN ULUSOY: With regard to museums and archaeological sites, we will introduce modern and innovative methods and practices that will be firsts for Turkey. One of the most important one of them is cards with different features. MZE DERG: What will be the special features of those cards? BAARAN ULUSOY: We create the concept of the museum which recognizes its visitor thanks to advanced computer software programmes allowing individualization. It is our objective to expand the Museum Card system, for the time being available only to Turkish citizens, so as to cover individual foreign tourists visiting our country. When we will reach that point that we start selling personalized museum cards to international tourists, those cards will, for instance, greet the visitor at the museum entrance with an oral welcoming message in its mothers tongue. Supposing that the tourist in question is German, the toll gate equipment will welcome her or him with a Guten Tag, willkommen greeting phrase, following the screening of her or his card. The guest will be congratulated on her or his birthday when such will be the case. We intend to be able to receive payments in foreign currency for those cards. There are legal aspects that we have to address before this practice can be called into life. We will offer to guests from abroad the possibility of acquiring multi-function cards which will be valid for a certain number of days and which will allow them also the use of the city transportation system and/or to make long distance phone calls accordingly. With a card costing 60-70 Turkish pounds in average, the guest will take the bus or any other means of public transportation to arrive at its point of interest, where it will be able to enter the museum or the historical site by having the same card screened at the corresponding toll gate. The cards will also be equipped with the technical possibility of surveying customer satisfaction. This particular feature will permit us to store up an adequate and reliable database with regard to the needs and expectations of foreign visitors to our country. We will make the access to museums and the visit inside the museums more comfortable thanks to the installation of multiple orientation signboards at the necessary places and locations, allowing guests to get easily to the particular department they would like to visit. Through one-time only applications downloadable on smart mobile phones, the tourist will be informed of particular cultural activities taking place in the area where she or he finds herself or himself, of theatres, museums,

various points of interest in the same vicinity, take advantage of certain shopping discount possibilities, enter museums by having the mobile phone screened at the ticket booths or toll gates. We are indeed working on the development of such special software applications. The target group with regard to these new methods are, of course, the individual tourists, whereas tourists travelling in organized trips receive basically these services from their travel agencies. MZE DERG: Do you know of such practices in other countries? BAARAN ULUSOY: Yes, even if it is not in such detailed form, there are, for instance, the Amsterdam Card and the London Card which offer museum access, use of public transportation, reservation priorities, shopping discounts, but those are still rather limited compared to the cards that we are planning to procure. What we want is to make that system more appealing by introducing cards with such detailed features that they will be able to respond to most of the needs of our individual customers. MZE DERG: You recruited 200 employees to operate the ticket booths. Which methods do you apply regarding staff selection and training? BAARAN ULUSOY: Indeed, the booth operation is a delicate task. It involves direct contact and communication with the visitor and also money collecting. Therefore, we went through a very careful selection within a reference system while recruiting the human resources. The candidates with positive merits deserving our approval were submitted to a special training for a duration of 60 hours in the first phase. In the second phase, those candidates with sufficient good manners, speaking foreign languages and capable of taking some initiative when needed, went through a more detailed training in the field of general approach to tourism, efficient communication, persuasion, foreign languages, technical know-how, basic law and system quality management. Finally they had to take a test before qualifying for the job. Those who succeeded in this examination were then recruited. MZE DERG: What are the ways and means through which the income secured from this project will benefit Turkeys cultural heritage and Turkish tourism industry? BAARAN ULUSOY: In case we realize some profit from this project, we will spend these earnings for the maintenance and renovation of existing museums or hopefully use these funds to build some city museums, as a gift to our country. In fact, there is a great number of very valuable pieces which cannot be presented to the public because of the lack of appropriate exhibition space. We would like these objects to come out to the daylight in new museum buildings such as city museums. In short, we are not dealing here with a commercial project, but with a project of social responsibility. The aim is not make money but to merit esteem. The role played by the TRSAB-MTM Business Partnership in this respect deserves to be commended. 21

Project stanbul Archaeological Museum was the first experience of TRSAB in the field of museum modernization. In the framework of the implementation of a protocol signed between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and TRSAB, TRSAB carried out renovation work at the Museum, based on professional surveys, organized activities in line with the cultural background and initiated promotion campaigns as well as social responsibility projects. It was of outmost importance to bring to present-day museum standards the stanbul Archaeological Museum housing a collection of over 700 thousand pieces, an impressive part of Turkeys foremost cultural and artistic heritage. Amongst the goals of the relevant protocol, priority was given to re-structuring the Museum and enhancing service quality so as to ensure a greater public interest and support and thus create the pre-condition for an increased contribution of the Museum to the tourism industry. The strategy yielded tangible results in the first year already. stanbul Archaeological Museum established in 1891, thanks to the tireless efforts of world-famous Turkish archaeologist and painter Osman Hamdi Bey was re-vitalized in great respect to his memory through the modernization work undertaken by TRSAB.

osman hamdi bey, the frst turksh museum bulder, panter and archaeologst
The founder of the stanbul Archaeological Museum, painter and archaeologist Osman Hamdi Bey is certainly one of the most important Turkish artists and art experts. He discovered the Alexander Sarcophagus at the Saida (Sidon) royal tombs excavations in Lebanon in 1887-1888. Considered the greatest archaeological discovery of the 19th century it was the cause of the museums foundation. Osman Hamdi Bey was born on 30th December 1842 in stanbul as the eldest son of Ottoman Grand Vizier brahim Ethem Pasha. In compliance with his fathers wish, he went to Paris to study law where he stayed for 12 years. He took painting lessons from famous French painters, Jean-Lon Grme and Boulanger. During the same years, two other Turkish painters, eker Ahmet Pasha and Sleyman Seyyid were also studying painting in Paris. Those three painters were later going to form the first generation of Turkish painting artists. Osman Hamdi Bey was assigned to high-level public offices upon his return to Turkey. His first assignment was the post of Director of Foreign Affairs in the Province of Baghdad. During his stay there, he painted various paintings reflecting city views of Baghdad, he was also involved in archaeological and historical studies on Baghdad. Upon his return to stanbul, he took office as the Deputy Chief of Protocol of the Ottoman Court. In 1875, he was appointed the first Mayor (ehremini) of Kadky, where he was active for one year. Following the Ottoman-Russian War (1877-78), he resigned from public office, but he was appointed Director of The Imperial Museum (Mze-i Hmayun) in 1881. One year later, Osman Hamdi Bey was assigned Director of the Fine Arts School (Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi). Author of the first museums legislation in Turkey He decreed a regulation prohibiting the taking out of the country of old works of art during the time he was Director at the Imperial Museum. During the same period, he initiated the first official Turkish archaeological excavations. He led the excavations at Mount Nemrut, Lagina in Mula Yataan and Saida (Sidon) in Lebanon. He crowned his work through the creation of museums Osman Hamdi Bey, having made significant discoveries as a result of his excavations began to look for an adequate building to display the artefacts he discovered. First exhibition hall for those pieces was the former Aya Irini Church, later they were transferred to the inili Kk (Tiled Pavilion). However, neither was spacious enough for this purpose. Finally, he convinced the Ottoman Government to build what became the present-day stanbul Archaeological Museum. The former Imperial Museum had become a museum mainly allocated to archaeology, the weaponry and military equipment belonging originally to its collections remained at Aya Irini and were re-organized under the name of Esliha-i Askeriye Mzesi (Military Museum). That new building, constituting the basis of the current Military Museum was inaugurated in 1908. The storage halls set up outside stanbul in various Anatolian towns by Osman Hamdi Bey constituted the basis of the regional museums to be established later. At the Fine Arts School, he collected at the Main Hall the artwork produced by his students to form the nucleus of the later established present-day Museum of Fine Arts. First Turkish figurative painter Osman Hamdi Bey, while he kept himself busy with archaeology and museums, never abandoned his passion for painting. He was the first Turkish painter to compose a figurative painting. In his paintings, he depicted the ideal type of enlightened Turkish intellectuals and emancipated women he was looking forward to see in his country. As background he used the historical buildings and historical objects as accessories. His best-known original paintings are the Turtle Trainer (1906) and the Arms Merchant (1908) which continue to draw great attention and provoke enthusiasm. His paintings are on display at various museums, particularly at the stanbul Museum of Painting and Sculpture and museums in London, Liverpool and Boston. Osman Hamdi Bey died in 1910 and was buried in Eskihisar upon his will. Two anonymous Seljukian steles were erected in lieu of his tombstone.

Dalyandan kalkan tekneler renyerine kan merdivenlerin iskelesine yanayor. Dalyan is one of those places privileged by nature. The visitors are here welcomed by the spectacular view of the kings tombs carved in rocks. Kings are still watching over the sea from their tombs as if thousands of years did not go by and their civilization was not left behind the dusty pages of history; as if they were trying to tell apart friends from foes among the visitors coming up the hill. Even though there are different theories as to the foundation history of the antique city of Kaunos, its available traces go back as far as the 10th century B.C. The settlement on the hills across from midtown Dalyan is hidden in such a way that when you look up from the bottom of the hill, there is no clue as to its existence. Access to Kaunos is only possible through the sea by motorboats. Boats departing from Dalyan dock at the pier downstairs from the historical site. Town hidden inside the hill Arriving at the peak, one is surprised by the density of the ruins of the antique city. With its theatre, its acropolis, the city walls, the temple ruins, a huge city is stretching out before your eyes. Particularly the ancient theatre and its seats are quite well preserved. There are also interesting architectural details which make out the particularity of the Kaunos theatre. The spectator seats are carved in stone in a shape almost similar to modern theatre armchairs. Sit down, close your eyes and once you cross the time tunnel, imagine that an old Sophocles tragedy is about to begin! Nature prepared its end Although of Carian origin, the people of Kaunos thought of themselves as Cretans. Due to its location on a seaport, Kaunos was a rich commercial centre until alluvial deposits coming from mainland rivers filled the port and the city lost its previous prominence and became history, not unlike several other antique cities of the Aegean and Mediterranean. The geographer and historian Strabo refers to the city of Kaunos, also quite often cited by Herodotus, as being provided, in addition to its dockyard, with a large harbour whose mouth can be closed when needed. Nowadays Slkl Lake was originally the harbour of Kaunos and the sea was stretching all the way to the area where the ruins of the city are now located. Famous historical figures such as Mavsolos, Alexander the Great, Carian Princess Ada and Macedonian Satrap Antigonos are among those

who ruled the city. Following its period of glory, Kaunos came under the domination of Rhodes, Pergamon and Rome. Watching the sea for six thousand years The layout of the settlement on a steep hill and the splendid rock-carved tombs seem as if they were designed to challenge the limits of the human body and mind. The height of the tombs carved on hill slopes reaches eight meters. The inhabitants of Kaunos buried their kings, the nobles and the wealthy in spectacular tombs where the dead bodies were placed along their worthful belongings in accordance with the burial culture of the Antique era. These sumptuous tombs reminding of eagles nests are literally six thousand years old. The people who chased gods The people of Kaunos are admirable yet for another reason besides their Kings Tombs, namely for their courage to fight foreign deities. They are a very genuine community compared to other communities of their time. It is a difficult task to unravel their mystery and with every newly found document new questions emerge as regards their culture. According to the great poet Homeros: The people of Kaunos adapted a new religion in order to accommodate gods initially unknown to them. Later they abandoned that idea and decided to return to their traditions so as to venerate only the deities known to their ancestors. Upon this decision, the young people of the town took up arms against foreign gods and chased them by swinging sword all the way to the boundaries of neighbouring Calynda. They are proud about this and keep telling this story to everyone: This is how we chased foreign gods! Such are the customs of that peculiar people.

The thermal spring offers a glimmer of hope for ill people. The waters contain calcium sulphate, calcium sulphide, calcium chloride and radon. Its radon that lends Sultaniye the highest available level of natural radiation among Turkish thermal waters.

They cannot survive without the moonlight

ztuzu beach is the breeding area for Caretta caretta. The baby turtles breaking their eggs can only reach the sea by following trails under the moonlight. Those having reached the sea before sunrise will survive. Those who have been too slow, are either parched under the sunlight or eaten by birds. The adults come back instinctively to the same beach when it is time again to lay eggs. Dalyan is not only important because of the cultural and historical significance and the geological importance of the Dalyan-Kyceiz hinterland, but also because of the natural characteristics of the ztuzu beach and its significance as a turtle habitat. Since May 2009 there has been a sea turtle centre at the beach, run by the Biology Dpt. of Pamukkale University. The staff and volunteers patrol the beach and keep records during the breeding season. Injured turtles found at the beach or at the estuary are taken to the centre for treatment and rehabilitation. Lighting of torches or any other manmade light is prohibited to avoid diluting the moonlight vital to baby turtles.

these potential powers. First drabbling in mud and then bathing in healing waters turns into an entertaining activity. It is not allowed to forsake ztuzu The Dalyan estuary is a labyrinth of canals through the reeds. Where the rivers waters flowing down the canals finally meet with the Mediterranean, you find one of the nicest beaches of Turkey called ztuzu. The beach is a narrow spit of land, which forms a natural barrier between the fresh water delta of the Dalyan river and the Mediterranean. It is one of the main breeding grounds for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean and is therefore often referred to as Turtle Beach. The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) is on the IUCN Red list of endangered animals. For this reason the beach has had a protected status since 1988 and is part of the Kyceiz-Dalyan Special Environmental Protection Area.

Yunan Sanatlar Blmnde, Louvre is certainly one of the most preponderant symbols of Paris. In Paris, referred to as the world capital of love, romanticism and art, narrated and portrayed in countless novels, poems and paintings, the cultural, artistic and touristic life of the city is unfolding around Louvre. As much as it is impossible, when visiting Paris, to ignore the Champs Elyse, with its magnificent historical buildings, its colourful cafs and restaurants where the most exclusive tastes of French cuisine and the most exquisite French wines are served, such is the case for the Louvre where you find the most outstanding masterpieces of world cultural heritage. Originally a residential palace to French royalty, the building, having resisted the corrosive impact of centuries, fires and plunders, is nowadays more than a museum, a living and breathing monument with its evergrowing splendour and grandeur. The palace was converted into a museum following the French Revolution. The Louvre which opened its doors on 10 August 1793, under the name of Muse Central des Arts with only 537 oil paintings as Frances first national museum, houses today one of the worlds largest and most stunning artwork collections. The original Louvre was built as a fortress 807 years ago in 1204 under the reign of King Philip (II) Augustus. Remnants of the fortress are still visible in the basement level. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. It was the actual seat of power where French kings lived and governed, until Louis XIV moved his court and government to Versailles in 1682. The Louvre was then essentially abandoned, no royal personages residing there and its apartments being farmed out to the royal academies, until the Revolution turned it into a public museum. The building was set afire by the insurgent Communards during the Commune de Paris upheaval in 1871, but was only partly damaged, the fire having been prevented from spreading. Subject to never-ending restoration and renovation endeavours during the 19th and 20th centuries, the Museum utilizes nowadays a total exhibition area of 68 thousand square meters. However, a large portion of its collections still remains in storage rooms due to the lack of sufficient exhibition space.

LOUVRE NOTES
The Louvre who welcomed 8,5 million visitors in 2009, holds the title of the European museum receiving the greatest number of visitors. The Louvre is Europes broadest building in width. In length, it is larger than three times the height of the Eiffel Tower. Each visitor spends an average of seven hours at the Louvre Museum. Two more Louvre dependencies are being constructed, the first in Lens in France, the second in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. These are destined to house the pieces which are kept in storage in Paris due to the lack of sufficient exhibition space at the main Louvre Museum.

Napoleon Bonaparte is the statesman who contributed the most to the collections of the Louvre, since he brought back many vestiges and works of art from his military campaigns in Europe and elsewhere, particularly from Egypt. Ottoman and Turkish objects exhibited in the Department of Islamic Art consist to a large extent of blue znik tiles and ceramics.

Mystery of modern times or aesthetic massacre?

Art historians and urban planners who created an uproar as the Eiffel Tower was erected in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, were also the usual suspects who severely criticized the project of the glass pyramids meant to serve as entrance gates to the Louvre. The inauguration, in 1989, of the Glass Pyramids built in the courtyard of the Louvre Museum by renowned Sino-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, commissioned by the then French President Franois Mitterrand, caused a big charivari in the French public opinion and art circles; the French media suggested that Franois Mitterrand was seeking, by having these pyramids built, to immortalize himself in the fashion of the Egyptian pharaohs. At the outset of our twenty-first century, where books on antique secrets and on plot and conspiracy theories became very popular, the Louvre pyramids have been referred to as Masonic and/ or Illuminati symbols. The most interesting book in this regard is The Da Vinci Code of American author Dan Brown. The story begins with the murder of the Director of the Louvre Museum, goes on searching the traces of the secret Illuminati sect, which is presented in constant fight against the Vatican, in all European historical works of art. According to the book, the Glass Pyramids of the Louvre keep the secret code of a contemporary mystery. Hence, the book paved the way for a substantial increase in the number of visitors to the Louvre. Architect I.M.Pei said in an interview, Nobody would have guessed that people would come to the Louvre to see the pyramids. I never thought that the pyramid itself would become an icon. The ever-controversial glass pyramids are now in the process of being re-designed in order to accommodate the rising number of visitors.

Diplomatic crisis The collection of the Louvre, Europes first-ranking museum with the largest number of visitors, is grouped into eight Curatorial Departments, namely, Paintings, Sculptures, Near Eastern Antiquities, Egyptian Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities, Islamic Art, Decorative Arts, Prints and Drawings. The Near Eastern Department houses very special antique sculptures dating from the Achaemenid period in Assyria. The Department of Egyptian Antiquities is probably one of the most interesting parts of the museum. It presents vestiges from the civilizations that developed in the Nile Valley from the late prehistoric era (c. 4000 BC) to the Christian period (4th century AD). These vestiges, excavated by the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology in Cairo and brought over to Paris, are of such great significance that they continue to cause diplomatic disputes between France and Egypt, who claims that the historical pieces should be returned to their homeland. The Department for Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities present sculptures and wall-paintings from the period between 2000 BC and 300 AD. In the Department of Decorative Arts, one can admire the most outstanding examples of decorative arts from the Middle Ages up to our era. The most valuable specimen of medieval French and European painting and major masterpieces of the art of painting describing the course of world history occupy a foremost place in the Department of Paintings. The Department of Sculptures houses the most important samples of the European art of sculpture. Mona Lisas secret The best-known piece in this museum, housing 35 thousand different pieces dating from the 6th century BC to the 19th century AD, is undoubtedly the portrait known under the name of Mona Lisa, which Leonardo da Vinci started painting in 1503 and finished in four years. Mona Lisa, the lady whose identity is unknown, never revealing the mystery of the expression on her face, who drags along countless legends, secret codes and mysteries, is welcoming her visitors in the Louvre as one of the most enigmatic ladies of history. The books published in recent years on mysticism and Leonardo da Vinci contributed to an increased interest for the painting having the dimensions of 77x53 cm. Experts still pursue their efforts to analyze and unravel the secret of the challenging smile of Mona Lisa. From the very entrance of the museum, signboards indicate the way to follow in order to reach the most famous painting of the world. The public has to stand quite long time in queue before being able to see Mona Lisa at close range. Symbol of the French Revolution Liberty Leading the People, painted by Eugne Delacroix, the acknowledged leader of the Romantic school in French painting, is yet another artwork attracting a great number of visitors. The painting is commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled Charles X of France. A woman personifying Liberty leads the people forward over the bodies of the fallen, holding the tricolore flag of the French Revolution in one hand and brandishing a bayoneted musket with the other. The painting is perhaps Delacroixs best-known work and considered symbol of the French Revolution all over the world. The painting inspired the Statue of Liberty in New York City, which was given to the United States as a gift from the French only 50 years after Liberty Leading the People had been painted. Baudelaire, the Prince of Poets characterized Delacroix as the last great representative of Renaissance painting and the first great painter of the modern period.

It is common knowledge that Anatolia is a fertile soil where many great civilizations flourished, a treasure of cultures. Nevertheless, it is still very impressive to see the emperors, the kings, the sultans who represent those civilizations gathered in one place. It gives you the feeling that, up until then, you failed to realize the grandeur and the richness of that treasure. Meanwhile, we are talking about a limited number of civilizations, not all of those who set foot here in Anatolia but only the greatest: the Hittite Empire, the Persian Empire, the Empire of Alexander the Great, the Macedonian, the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire... The magnificent exhibition at the stanbul Museums of Archaeology, composed of various artefacts from several museums of different regions of Anatolia, including giant marble statues, ancient coins, manuscripts, seals and many other articles, constitutes a real festival of history. The 210 items displayed at this exhibition, organized with the assistance of Minister of Culture and Tourism, Erturul Gnay, were selected from 16 different museums, from 14 museums under the administration of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and 2 military museums under the administration of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces. In the first section, the visitor is met by the Emperors of the Hittite Empire who reigned 2000 B.C. over a large portion of Anatolia and partly

At the second section, we are following the trails of two giant civilizations: first the Persian Empire, coming from the east and going all the way to Greece, subjugating Anatolia between the 6th and 7th centuries B.C... The second, coming from the west and stretching from Anatolia all the way to India in the 4th century B.C. and lasting until the 1st century B.C., the Empire of Alexander the Great, the Macedonian... Those two empires having not only made a great impact during their era but left deep traces behind them in history, are represented through statues, basreliefs, coins and their history is presented to the public of information boards. The third section is presenting the Roman Empire, starting in 27 B.C., with Octavianus who put an end to the wars shaking the Republic of Rome.

Antique city of Sagalassos near Burdur, heads, legs and feet of colossal dimensions constitute the most striking elements of the exhibition. Furthermore, the head of Empress Livia, the bas-reliefs of Claudius and Agrippina, the statue of Emperor Nero are other interesting pieces of this section. The fourth section is reserved to the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire. Although limited in number, mosaics, coins, miniatures, the head of a statue believed to be that of Constantine who made stanbul (Byzantium) the capital of his empire, a piece of sarcophagus believed to belong to Constantine as well, the bust of Arcadius, the cast of the bas-relief of the Emperor and his suite which is carved on the pedestal of the Egyptian Tutmosis III obelisk located near the Grand Bazaar in stanbul are among those interesting pieces on display at this section. The fifth section is devoted to articles from the Ottoman Empire: Portraits of Sultans, arms, seals, panaches (helmet crests), jewellery and bejewelled objects, imperial orders (decrees) and caftans (imperial robes). Those articles reflecting the Ottoman culture and art, pieces with a symbolic value within the context of the concept of Empire, items objectifying the private and public life of the sultans to the public, represent the last great empire having flourished on these territories. The exhibition is literally a historical journey from the Hittites to the Ottomans. The characters of this story are heroes who ruled these territories for 3 thousand and 500 years. But you only have a few weeks to see them at the exhibition which is going to last until the 1st of August 2011.

The subtle diplomacy of the people of Ephesus

First destruction of the Temple of Artemis was carried out by the Kimmerians (Cimmerians) coming from the Caucasus. During the reconstruction, Herostratus, a young man and historic arsonist seeking notability burned down and destroyed the temple again. To the question, Why Artemis, if a goddess, was not able to protect her own temple?, the people of Ephesus answered, Alexander the Great was just being born, Artemis went to assist and help his birth... If she did or not is another question, but, in fact, as years later Alexander the Great came to Ephesus, the restoration of the temple was still going on. Since Alexander was deeply impressed by Ephesus and Artemis, he offered to help complete the reconstruction of the temple, on one condition, that his name be written on the votive stone. The smart people of Ephesus then answered: A god cannot offer oblation to another god. So the people of Ephesus, keen on safeguarding the independence of their goddess, were able to solve the issue, thanks to their quick wit and subtle diplomacy, without provoking Alexanders anger...

Ephesus, one of the most significant political and commercial cities of its time, came also to be known as a religious centre due to the stay there of Virgin Mary, St. John and St. Paul. Earthquakes and invasions caused several times the destruction of the city. But Ephesus always remained a sacred city in the eyes of each new population which settled on its territory. The actual symbol of this holiness was the Temple of Artemis. Considered one the Seven Wonders of the World, the Temple was the largest and the most spectacular marble structure of its time. In historical sources, the temple is described as 138 meters long and 70 meters wide made almost entirely of marble. The Temple consisted of 127 columns, each 19 meters in height; many of which were carved decoratively. Only a few stone parts remain today on the location of this once sumptuous building which was plundered several times throughout history... Marble fragments of the temple were used in the construction of structures such as the St. John Church and the Hagia Sophia Basilica. The valuable ivory, gold and bronze artefacts discovered in archaeological excavations are now being displayed at the British Museum in London and the stanbul Archaeological Museum. Women were held in great esteem and honoured by old Anatolian matriarchal civilizations who created sacred mother figures and worshipped female gods. This tradition, originating from the Amazons and expanding in time and geography, paved the way to the creation of various sacred spaces, temples and goddess statues. From Artemis to Virgin Mary As the cult of the Mother Goddess in Anatolian homes turned into the worship of Mother

Goddess Cybele in temples, their characteristics were the same: they represented earth, nature and abundance. Mother Goddess in atalhyk (Neolithic settlement in Turkey) Cybele in central Anatolia, Ishtar in Mesopotamia, Artemis in the Aegean region, they all are the links of the same chain. Artemis represented the continuation of this cult in western Anatolia. Though she was equipped with additional characteristics such as fertility, virginity and belligerence. As St. Paul, one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ, arrived in Ephesus in 53 AD, the main obstacle to his efforts to propagate Christianity was the cult of Artemis. The positive response of the population to the Christian faith provoked the harsh reaction of the gold masters and silversmiths whose main source of income was the manufacture and sale of gold and silver ornaments and statues of Goddess Artemis that they were selling at the Artemis Temple. The assimilation of the population to Christian faith would deprive them from this vital market. The worries of the jewellers turned eventually into a large-scale uprising in Ephesus, as a consequence of which St. Paul had to leave the city for good... However, since the trade at the Temple of Artemis was only contributing to the prosperity of the wealthy, Christianity began to be more and more popular with the poor people, such as in Rome and Byzantium. Against this background, Virgin Mary was, in their eyes, a mother and a virgin, exactly like Artemis... The characteristics of the Great Artemis statue on display at the Ephesus Museum, welcoming thousands of visitors every day, are as follows: Artemis carries a three-story tower on top of her head. This means that she is the protector of the temples and towns. The circle on her chest symbolizes the full-moon; she is a moon goddess. On each side of the circle are depicted the mythological creatures, half lion, half eagle known as gryphons. Below the circle, she wears a necklace representing the twelve signs of the zodiac. The four rows of ten breasts each, a total of forty nipples on her chest are the symbols of abundance and fertility (some sources see them as symbol of virility). The series of small sculptures placed on her skirt in six rows represent the sacred animals of her time: lions, goats, gryphons, sphinx (the creatures with human head and lion trunk in ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology) and bees. Three is the sacred number of Artemis, as it is the case in a variety of religious and mythological traditions. Trinity symbolizes the three characters of Artemis: maid, wife and mother. She is prolific, she is the goddess of the bees. She is the leader of all living beings in the universe.

First game played for money

It is not uncommon, based on archaeological evidence, to trace back to the period between 3000 and 1700 B.C. the widespread practice of different varieties of this game which can be described as a game of luck and ability played between two persons. The oldest items found belong to a game called Senet which can be considered as the forefather of backgammon. During the time of the Persian Empire, backgammon became popular in Mesopotamia under the Sumerians. Tabula - table game is another version of it practiced during the time of the Roman Empire. The widespread popularity of tabula is probably to explain, among other, with the fact that it was the first game of chance played for money, first example of gambling in history. The symbols language originating from a competition between two emperors who wanted to test their abilities in the field of philosophy and strategy led to the creation of backgammon, which did neither remain confined to the borders of Persia nor to the borders of India. The box and its secrets travelled first to the far East through trade routes, reached southern Europe through Arab culture. The Crusades, on the one hand, caused extensive suffering and destruction, on the other hand, they were the occasion for various cultural features of the Orient, including backgammon, to reach western Europe. Later, following Americas discovery, the New World also came to know this famous game and finally, the whole civilized world became acquainted with backgammon, nowadays a universal game. Its name varies from one region or country to the other. However, according to researchers, the term backgammon was probably forged in 1645 from Saxon language by an Englishman and meant, understandably, back game.

Penc se, severler gzeli gencse (approximate translation: five and three, to love beauties when they are young is free) is a well-known popular Turkish rhyming expression which associates luck at dice with the love for young beauties. Did you know that the origin of backgammon goes back to 1400 years in history, that backgammon tables carved in marble and marble dice were found in ancient ruins, that each dice number at backgammon is representing the rhythm of time and fate? Backgammon standing out against time, regained its former popularity in the 21st century thanks, among other, to the widespread practice of internet backgammon. Let us now embark upon an entertaining excursion into the hallways of history to discover and follow the footsteps of this famous game. The following episode takes place, one thousand four hundred years ago, in the palace of Persian Emperor Neshirian. The august Emperor of Persia was successful in untangling the secrets of chess, a game played with pieces placed on a 64 squares, which was sent to him as a gift accompanied by a letter by the Emperor of India. Nevertheless, neither his mind nor his heart were appeased, because he was intrigued and challenged by the following sentence from the letter of the Emperor of India: The one who thinks more, who knows better, who has better foresight will win... This is what is life all about. Emperor Neshirian, after having given in-depth consideration to the subject matter, calls to him his most trusted minister, Grand Vizier Buhur Mehir and asks him to invent a new game to be delivered to the Emperor of India... However, this should not be an ordinary game, but a game which will constitute as much food for thought as has been the case for him with chess, which will necessitate developing strategy and send the right message to the Emperor of India. Message conveyed by the letter The Vizier, following weeks of reflection, comes finally before the Emperor with a small box in his hands, being now sure that he has devised a game in which he was able to wrap philosophy, mysticism and the proper message to be conveyed to the Emperor of India... Neshirian is now satisfied and serene, after getting wise about all the things that this small box is hiding... It is his turn to send a letter to the Emperor of India, together with the game invented by his Vizier he is so proud of... And, here below are the eloquent thoughts he included in that letter: Yes, the one who thinks more, who knows better, who has better foresight will win, but some luck will help.

The secret of the playing pieces and the dice What is the secret message contained in this small box which inspired the above statement to Emperor Neshirian? First of all, the backgammon game created a symbolic language mediated through the box, the dice and the playing pieces... The basic measure of time is the year; the backgammon box describes the year. Its four corners are the four seasons, the two sets of six triangles facing one another in the backgammon box symbolize the twelve months of the calendar, the total number of the playing pieces corresponds to the 30 days of the month; 7, the sum of the numbers on each pair of the opposite sides of the dice (6+1, 5+2, 4+3) represent the seven days of the week, the two groups of black and white playing pieces represent the alternation of night and day, the two rows of twelve triangles facing one another in the box symbolize the 24 hours of the day. Backgammon is based on contrast and opposition. It narrates the story of the dialectical inseparability of the opposites, of black and white, of defeat and victory, of life and death, the meaninglessness of life without death and of death without life, all this put in a small box by Grand Vizier Buhur Mehir.

THE MERRY TALE OF ARCHAEOLOGY

Archaeology can be called the science of the old. But as a science, it is quite a young discipline. The first major archaeological excavations date from the 18th century. And, these resulted in the most dramatic findings the world could ever imagine... The location where the excavations took place was the antique city of Pompeii covered by the ashes of the Vesuvius volcano which erupted in 79 A.D. The sight of the uncovered petrified human bodies was amazing. Probably every archaeologists dream is to discover one day something as big as Pompeii. They pursue major goals like finding the lost tombs of great historical figures such as King Antiochus of Commagene and Emperor Attila of the Huns. Indeed, archaeology offers so many occasions to rewrite history and so many colourful stories to create film scenarios. All you have to do is to look every now and then at the storage room of history to find new surprises.

ANAKKALE (HELLESPONT)/TROY

Yet another very exciting excavation was carried out at the ancient city of Troy, long-time believed to be purely a myth. In 1871, the German researcher Schliemann was able to locate Troy and started the excavations. Although he secretly smuggled the most precious gold jewellery he found there out of the country, he obtained from the Government of the Ottoman Empire the authorization to continue his excavations in 1876. The discovery of Troy was the most prestigious event in the world of archaeology next to uncovering Pompeii.

ANLIURFA/GBEKLTEPE

ANLIURFA (EDESSA)/GBEKL TEPE (POTBELLY HILL)

While Hollywood stars run around the labyrinths of Egyptian Pyramids fighting terrible mummies, Turkey possesses an extraordinary archaeological heritage whose true significance remains still to be determined. Troy, Mount Nemrut (Nimrod), Ephesus... atalhyk, the Neolithic settlement near Konya, which provoked a re-writing of history and many more sites. Yes but, there is one new link in the chain that is going to lead to a renewed re-writing of history according to German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt from the University of Heidelberg. He maintains that all our knowledge about the prehistoric era would have to change. The centre of that assertion lies at Gbekli Tepe, 20 kilometres away from the city of anlurfa (Edessa) in south-eastern Turkey. Klaus Schmidt tells the story of this revolutionary discovery as follows: As I encountered these vestiges, I had two choices: either I was not going to tell anyone about this and I would immediately leave that place or I was going to spend the rest of my life here! I opted for the second alternative. Vow! What is here at stake that incites a scientist to make this choice? Here some answers: Gbekli Tepe is the oldest humanmade place of worship yet discovered, dated 12 thousand years old! Gbekli Tepe is regarded as an archaeological discovery of the greatest importance since it profoundly changes our understanding of a crucial stage in the development of human societies. It seems that the erection of monumental complexes was within the capacities of hunter-gatherers and not only of sedentary farming communities as had been previously assumed. In other words, as excavator Klaus Schmidt puts it: First came the temple, then the city. The inhabitants of this place apparently were already asking themselves the ontological question, What is the universe and why are we here?

ADIYAMAN/MOUNT NEMRUT

Since Antiochus of Commagene was one of the early rulers of these territories, it has some significance for Turkey to find his tomb. However, even with todays technology, it is not possible for this goal to materialize. The hill believed to hide the tomb and the treasure of King Antiochus is made of millions of fist-sized stones, tending to turn into a dangerous avalanche of stones as soon as one tries to dig underneath. This situation is even so enigmatic as the tomb itself: How could all these stones be piled up 2000 years ago to form such a huge hill? And, how was it possible that these stones remained in place in one bloc for 2 thousand years without eroding downhill and destroying this man-made peak?

GAZANTEP/ZNCRL HYK

Who knows what we would be able to find about Commagene, one of the earliest and greatest human civilizations, if it were possible to unveil the mystery of Mount Nemrut and what message would then transpire towards our modern society? We dont know. But, another Anatolian excavation at Zincirli yielded quite meaningful results for scientists. Researchers from the University of Chicago found an inscribed stele, apparently erected upon the death of Kuttamuwa, an eighth century B.C. royal official from Samal (Hittite: Yadiya) a Hittite and Aramaean city located at Zincirli Hyk in the Anti-Taurus Mountains of Turkeys Gaziantep Province, The inscription requested that his mourners commemorate his life and his afterlife with feasts by sacrificing a ram for my soul that is in this stele. It is one of the earliest references in a Near East culture to a soul as a separate entity from the body and to the tradition of sacrificing animals.

SULTANS SECRETS ARE HIDDEN IN THEIR SHIRTS

Enchanted Shirts, is the title of an interesting book based on a research performed by Associate Prof. Dr. Hlya Tezcan on nearly one hundred pieces of clothing including 87 shirts embroidered with talismans, one attached collar, five skullcaps and ten embroidered covers at the Sultans Garments Collection of the Topkap Palace Museum, revealing the secrets of the Ottoman court. The talismanic shirts examined in the book are those special garments supposed to protect sultans and other members of the dynasty from illness, from evil eyes and to bring victory at the battle field. The shirts worn during military campaigns by the sultans embroidered with the Al-Fath Surah (Conquest chapter of the Holy Quran) present interesting details for art historians. Examples of Islamic symbolism The book analyzes from an academic point of view the handicraft work of the embroideries in relation with Islamic symbolism, sheds light on the meaning of the Islamic calligraphy on the shirts, explains by which craftsmen and to which end these shirts were manufactured and on which occasions they were worn by Ottoman rulers from Sultan Cem to Murat III. Tradition from China to Spain Talismanic shirts are not confined to the Ottoman court and geography, according to the research

conducted by Dr. Tezcan, but people in various countries from China to India, from Spain to Japan believed in the protective power of blessed garments. Talismans called Yantra were being used in China by spiritual practitioners. Until the 15th and 16th centuries, sultans in India were wearing talismanic shirts in the hope to be shielded from evil. In Japan, it was believed that white tunics inscribed with special prayers would render invisible those wearing them. In the 19th century, wealthy people in Spain were ordering custom-made talismanic shirts. Dr. Hlya Tezcans book of 204 pages published 2011 by Tima Editions gives its readers the possibility on the one hand, to dissect one by one the good luck charmed shirts and talismanic tunics of the Ottoman Sultans and, on the other hand to have an overall insight into the general practice of talismanic shirts.

The collection from the imperial period includes articles from the great Dolmabahe Palace, as well as from various palaces and mansions used as residence by the members of the Ottoman Dynasty, such as the Aynalkavak, Kksu, Ihlamur and Maslak mansions and the Beylerbeyi and Yldz Palaces.

Did you know that Trotsky put on alert Stalin and the whole Soviet nomenclatura because of a fish he collected at the Prince Islands shore during his years of exile in stanbul? Or why a certain kind of fish of the Marmara Sea is called Prophets fish? Fish is indeed one the most common figures encountered in archaeological remains. So much so that it figures on Byzantine coins. Archaeology keeps the memory archives of the world, presents us with the codes of traces, thousands of years old. Those codes showing us that different cultures having flourished at different corners of the world without direct contact with each other, were using similar signs and symbols for communication purposes. For instance, the eye design... Or, a hand, having different meanings when pictured in different positions... And, one of the oldest symbols: the fish! From China to Egypt, from Mesopotamia to the cold shores of the North, the fish meant abundance and fertility, because it is one of the biological assets nature is offering with ample generosity. It also carries some mystery with itself because it keeps living in the darkness of deep waters. Maybe this is why fish was the symbol of reincarnation in ancient Egypt. Actually, fish has also been the symbol of Christianity and used as such for several centuries. Among different tales on how fish was related to Christianity, Christians attribute priority to the belief that Jesus Christ saved five thousand people from hunger by feeding them with fish and bread. In fact, the early Christians were using fish drawings on the ground as a code to recognize each other discreetly, thus avoiding persecution. This is probably why the people of Marmara used to call the john dory fish, whose face reminds us of a human face with a tragic expression, Prophets fish or Saint Peters fish. Again, Trotskys rockfish story is one of the most amazing and ironic episodes of this unusual historical account on fish. End of the twenties, beginning of the thirties, one of the leading personalities of the Russian Revolution, Trotsky, had to flee the Soviet Union due to his disagreement with Stalin and took refuge in Turkey, namely in stanbuls Prince Islands. His exile years were focused on ideological discussions with some friends around him and through correspondence with other friends and foes. But of course, there was time for leisure and Trotskys preferred pastime was fishing. He asked a friend, in a letter, to buy for him some line possibly 200 meters long for underwater rods used for catching big fish. Apparently it was with this line sent to him from the United States that he collected three specimen of the rockfish which provoked big turmoil in Kremlin. Trotsky noted the unusual hammer and sickle pattern, the emblem of the Soviet Communist Party, on the fishs flanks. Known for his academic work in the field of ichthyology, Trotsky baptized (!) this rockfish as the Hammer and Sickle Fish. But, since he had to continue to escape from Stalins secret police still after him, he was unable to finish his scientific study. It was Stalin who later ordered Soviet scientists to follow up on Trotskys footsteps to complete the research on the so-called hammer and sickle fish. Finally, a description of the new rockfish species was published in 1942 by Joseph Stalin in the Zoological Journal where he was naming it Sebastes Lenini supposedly in remembrance of his predecessor Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution. Marmara, the Prince Islands and particularly the Bosporus enjoy a rich heritage in such fish anecdotes embracing thousands of years. The favourite figure in this heritage is the one of pelamyd, a fish also called horse mackerel or bonito (in the Atlantic Ocean), which used to cross the Bosporus in earlier years in large schools and which became rather rare in recent years. Due to its smooth-shaped body, pelamyd was considered the most handsome among fishes. The fact that it was found in large quantities in the area, pelamyd was at all times greatly respected in stanbul from the period of the oldest civilizations up to our era. Byzantion chose pelamyd as the citys emblem and, Byzantine coins were engraved with the pelamyd pattern during the 2nd century A.D. Later, the fish pattern continued to be imprinted on coins along with kings pictures.

Palamut, yzyllar boyunca stanbul sofrasnda yerini alm. Kimi zaman, gnmze kadar uzand gibi, kmr zgarasnda kzartlp ekmek aras yaplm. Kimi zaman piirilip zel soslarla servis edilmi. Bugnk lezzet anlayna hi uymayabilir; ancak Bizansllar palamutun barsaklar ve kann toprak bir kaba koyar; gnete bir sre bekletir, sonra zerine biraz arap ve zeytinya ekleyip baln zerine dkermi. Bu zel sos daha ok zengin sofralarnda kullanlrm ve herhalde o dnemde palamut tarifi istense, ilk sray bu zel sos alrm. Dedik ya, gnmze hi uymayacak bir tarif bu. Ama lezzetin binlerce yllk yolculuunda, bugne kk de olsa bir iz brakm.

Soan zeytinyanda kavururken, 1 kg. civarnda gelen palamutu ayklayp ksk atete halayn. Yumuadklar zaman derisini yzp beyaz etlerini aln. Soan kavrulunca 2 kak domates salasn ekleyin. zerine de kalan harc koyun ve soteleyin. Damak tadnza uygun baharatlar ve bir miktar suyla, sebzeler yumuayncaya kadar kaynatn. Sonunda baln beyaz etini de ekleyip bir tam daha kaynatn. Yerken de bu topraklarn, bu dnyann bizden nceki sakinlerini dnn. Bir dinin simgesi saylan, paralarn zerinde resmedilen balk acaba hangi sofralara nasl gelirdi? Ve arkeoloji denilen eskinin bilimi bugne ne sylyor? Bir zamanlar Boazdan srlerle geen palamutu koruyabildik mi? Baln kral palamut, tahtna dnebilecek mi?

Pelamyd, on stanbuls dinner tables for centuries, sometimes served standing as grilled fish sandwich, other times being served in more gourmet fashion with succulent sauces. Byzantines used to put the bowels and the blood of the fish in a terra cotta pot and kept it under the sun for a while, then added olive oil and wine and used the mixture as a special delicacy sauce on fish dishes. This special sauce was used rather at dinner tables of the wealthy and probably constituted the most praised pelamyd recipe of its time. Perhaps not ideal for our palates today, it has nevertheless left its mark behind throughout the ages. The pelamyd ragout or stew is maybe a good illustration. Pelamyd Stew: Cut seven whole onions in half circles. Chop up five cloves of garlic with one bunch of parsley. Prepare three carrots by cutting them in slices. While roasting the onions in olive oil, boil approximately one kilogramme of cleaned out pelamyd fish on low heat. When they become tender, peel off their skin and take the white meat aside. Add two table spoons of tomato paste onto the roasted onions and pour the rest of the filling on top of them and keep sauting the whole mixture. Boil the vegetables in a little water with preferred spices until they soften. At the end, put in the fish white meat and bring the whole one more time to the boil. Its ready to be served. While eating the stew, think about the worlds previous inhabitants who lived before us. Imagine at which dinner tables and in what way was served the fish, symbol of a religion, engraved on coins, before our time? Give thought to what archaeology, the science of the old could tell us today. Have we been able to preserve the pelamyd crossing once upon a time the Bosporus in generous shoals? Will the king of the fishes be able to return to its throne?

The Atatrk Museum consecrated to the memory of the Founder of The Turkish Republic by the Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality will soon be inaugurated. The Mayor of Gaziantep Asm Gzelbey said, We will keep Atatrks dear memory alive at the Atatrk Museum as we do in our hearts. Our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatrk visited our city on 26 January 1933 and was wholeheartedly welcomed by the people of Gaziantep. He was given the honorary citizenship of our city and although born in Thessaloniki, his name was entered in the state register of the Bey District of the City of Gaziantep. It is as a token of our gratitude and loyalty that we recently decided to erect a museum worthy of Atatrk in the Bey District where he is registered as a citizen of our city. A traditional Antep house belonging to Mr. Adil Sani Konukolu, was donated to the Metropolitan Municipality by its owner with a view to serving as the venue of the Atatrk Museum. The museum will comprise two different structures and span an area of 220 square meters of open and 400 square meters of closed exhibition space, said Mayor Gzelbey.

Cup of coffee at the imperial palace

To offer someone a cup of coffee is a labour of love kept in fond memory for 40 years... is an old Turkish saying emphasizing the importance Turkish people traditionally attribute to coffee. How long would last the memory of sipping a cup of coffee cooked in hand- made Turkish coffeepots, on elegant braziers, offered in fine china coffee cups equal to works of art ? The Art Gallery at the Palace Collections Museum is currently hosting an exhibition on coffee culture in the Ottoman Palace where stunning details are presented to the eye of the public. A cup of coffee at the palace, a labour of love for all times is the title of this exhibition on the little grain which travelled throughout ages like in a fairy tale, to serve as a blessed opportunity to bring people together, to enliven their conversation, to stimulate heart and mind, to foster friendships. Many a legend exists on the origin of this heavenly scented black pearl remedying the weariness of the day, bestowing well-being and happiness. Due to its taste, its scent and the spiritedness it inoculates to people,

coffee is considered as the magic potion breathing life into the body alive or dead! The Ottomans praised coffee not only as a daily beverage, but as one of most important treats presented to the guests with a solemn ceremony on special days and occasions. What turns the presentation of coffee into a dignified ceremony are the precious utensils used to prepare and offer coffee. The Ottoman Palace attributed great importance to using the appropriate style during the coffee presentation. The most valuable coffee cups, cup sleeves, tablecloths and napkins were being used for the coffee ceremony which was further enriched by sprinkling rose water in precious glabdan (rose water flask) and by offering sherbet (non-alcoholic drinks made with sugar and spices or sugar and fruit juice) in elegant chalice. The exhibitions goal is to give its visitor a brief chance to experience the spirit of the graceful moments of serenity enjoyed once ago during times of leisure at Ottoman Palaces.

Starting from 1st of May this year, the use of headset equipment was made mandatory by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for groups over 16 persons visiting the Hagia Sophia Museum, with a view to avoiding noise nuisance. Travel agencies or groups of tourists over the afore-mentioned number will have to either procure the equipment themselves or to rent it from the Museum for 2,5 Turkish Liras per person. The Director of the Revolving Funds Central Administration (DSMM) Murat Usta, declared that the times where speech voice and conversations were interfering into each other are a thing of the past. The tour guides will be able to reach the ears of their guests without having to shout thanks to the headset equipment, said Mr. Usta, tour guides experience often difficulty to be understood by elderly tourists who might not fully hear them, some group members can even get lost; this system will eliminate all these problems, he added. The headsets are also equipped with a special feature, a help button which allows to locate persons who became lost. The director continued,our main goal is to prevent noise pollution; we contemplate to extend this practice to other museums as well in the future. We will make available at all times a sufficient number of headsets at the museum. On the other hand, it is clear that the headsets provided by travel agencies will have to be technically compatible with our system. When not, they always have the possibility to rent from us.

The exhibition entitled Across - The Cylades and Western Anatolia During the 3rd Millennium BC is composed of artifacts from various Turkish museums as well as the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the N. P. Goulandris Foundation Museum of Cycladic Art. The exhibition examines the relations between Anatolia, where the first steps towards civilization were taken, and the nearby Cyclades islands, and the story of the two cultures that resemble each other, but maintain their regional features, are narrated. A 14-meters long exact replica model of the Cyladic ships is the most interesting piece of the exhibition. The exhibition, which is the outcome of the first cooperation between the museums of the two countries, will be open to visits between May 23 and August 28, 2011.
