Commemorative Cruise This is the site where the Greeks hid their fleet near the end of the Trojan War in order to trick the Trojans into believing the war was over and into taking the Trojan Horse within in the Aegean Sea their city walls. The island was important throughout antiquity due to its strategic location in the Aegean Sea at the entrance of the Dardanelles. In following centuries, the island came under the control of a series of regional powers - the Persian Empire, the Delian League, Alexander by chartered Turkish gulet (yacht) the Great, the Pergamon Kingdom, the Roman Empire and its successor the Byzantine by chartered Turkish gulet (yacht) Empire, before passing to the Republic of Venice.

  • Blue Cruise Turkey
    BLUE CRUISE along the Aegean coast of Turkey The Blue Cruise is ordinarily advertised as renting a private yacht (with captain and sta# on board), cruising along the southwestern coast of Turkey, making stops to swim, hike and see historical ruins. This sounds exciting but it misses the atmosphere of the Blue Cruise that is almost spiritual. As you board your yacht, you also cut the mental ties with land. You embark on a di#erent existence, as if nothing else matters outside your yacht, or even exists for that matter. What makes the Blue Cruise unique is the lack of requirements and responsibilities - at last the freedom to do absolutely nothing and with it, a complete freedom of mind. You can gaze at the sea for hours on end, you can swim everyday, sleep all day or you can finish that book that you weren’t able to finish for ages because of the lack of time. However if you want “action” to spend your time, you will never be at a loss to find yourself activities to try either. When the yacht is anchored, you can discover nearby coves by canoes; you can cover greater distance than swimming and its good exercise for your biceps! Or you can hail down one of the speed boats that tour the coves and bargain for water skiing, jetskis or banana rides. And it goes without saying that you can hike and climb to your heart’s content the pine and olive covered hills that rise from the shore to discover historical ruins from Lycians, Anatolian Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans.

Printed in Great Britain STABLE LEAD ISOTOPE STUDIES OF BLACK SEA ANATOLIAN ORE SOURCES AND RELATED BRONZE AGE AND PHRYGIAN ARTEFACTS FROM NEARBY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES. APPENDIX: NEW CENTRAL TAURUS ORE DATA E. V. SAYRE, E. C. JOEL, M. J. BLACKMAN, Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560, USA K. A. YENER Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, 1155 East 58th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA and H. OÈ ZBAL Faculty of Arts and Sciences, BogÆazicËi University, Istanbul, Turkey The accumulated published database of stable lead isotope analyses of ore and slag specimens taken from Anatolian mining sites that parallel the Black Sea coast has been augmented with 22 additional analyses of such specimens carried out at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Multivariate statistical analysis has been used to divide this composite database into ®ve separate ore source groups. Evidence that most of these ore sources were exploited for the production of metal artefacts during the Bronze Age and Phrygian Period has been obtained by statistically comparing to them the isotope ratios of 184 analysed artefacts from nine archaeological sites situated within a few hundred kilometres of these mining sites. Also, Appendix B contains 36 new isotope analyses of ore specimens from Central Taurus mining sites that are compatible with and augment the four Central Taurus Ore Source Groups de®ned in Yener et al. (1991). KEYWORDS: BLACK SEA, CENTRAL TAURUS, ANATOLIA, METAL, ORES, ARTEFACTS, BRONZE AGE, MULTIVARIATE, STATISTICS, PROBABILITIES INTRODUCTION This is the third in a series of papers in which we have endeavoured to evaluate the present state of the application of stable lead isotope analyses of specimens from metallic ore sources and of ancient artefacts from Near Eastern sites to the inference of the probable origins of such artefacts.

  • Bozburun Bozburun Peninsula Marmaris, Turkey
    Bozburun Bozburun Peninsula Marmaris, Turkey LuxuryVillasTurkey.com Bozburun Bozburun is a sleepy and quiet little fishing and boat building village far out on the edge of the Turkish southwest mainland, as close to the Greek islands as you can be without leaving land. It is on the tip of the Bozburun Peninsula, classed as a National Park by the Turkish Authorities so protected from high rise hotel de- velopments. In the village there is a small and popular harbour known to sailors for a long time already. Along the Peninsula are beautiful villages including Orhaniye, Turgut, Bayir and Selimiye. This is the real unspoilt Turkey so popular with guests wanting to expe- rience authentic rural Turkey where life has remained largely unchanged for generations. Bozburun is world famous for its boat building where the wooden Turkish Gulets are lovingly constructed by hand using genera- tions old traditions. Gulets built in Bozburun are sought after throughout Europe so you will find many Bozburun Gulets cruising the waters of Italy and Croatia. The permanent population is only about 2400. The village faces across the sea to the Greek island of Simi, only 15 km away from the “aquarium”, which is the locals’ name of the reef separating the bay from the open sea. Bozburun is one of the key stops on the popular sailing route of the Blue Cruises (Private Gulet Cruises) as well as private yachts of all kinds. The vil- lage has a small and charming little harbour, several restaurants and cafés, shops of different kind, mini grocery stores, butchers, fish store, real estate broker, pharmacy, car rental and a tourist information office.

  • The Results of the Excavations Made on Behalf of the Turkish Historical Society at Alaca Höyük in the Summer of 1936
    THE RESULTS OF THE EXCAVATIONS MADE ON BEHALF OF THE TURKISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT ALACA HÖYÜK IN THE SUMMER OF 1936 Dr. Hamit Zübeyr Ko~ay Director of the Excavation The results of the excavations made on behalf of the Turkish Historical Society will be published in book form. We shall be satisfied here by giving a summary of the results at hand. The aimsof the expedition and the area to be excavated this year were more or less determined in advance. First of all it was neeessary to clarify definitely the layers uncovered last year, to separate plainly the different architectural levels and as far as possible to obtain new evidence concerning the important material culture of the Copper Age. It was also desirable this year to establish the cultural se- quence of the Alaca Höyük by penetrating to virgin sol!. Obviously this could be investigated most conveniently in the area of last year's excavation. As the expropriation of the houses East and West of the excava- ted area was not yet completed and as a large amount of rain - water had gathered in the North, where the main drainage of the village passes, there remained only in the South a free area where the work could be carried on. In order to study methodically the cultural contents of the layers, all pieces of pottery within the depth of 20 centimetres were collected separately and their profiles were carefully studied. Furthermore, in a control excavation made within an area of 2.50-3.00 metres to the East of the main excavated area the subdivisions of the architectural layers were clarified.

In Acts 15, Paul was faced with the demand that Gentile believers be circumcised, he opposes this vehemently. In fact he obtain a letter of unanimous consensus that circumcision is not necessary for salvation. But in Acts 16, when Paul is delivering said letter to the Gentile churches he comes to Lystra and finds Timothy. Taking Timothy, the son of a Gentile and Jewess, along, he has him circumcised. Contradiction?!? Circumcision of Timothy Circumcision of Timothy But in Acts 16: Timothy’s circumcision had nothing to do with his salvation. Had anyone demanded Timothy be circumcised he would have resisted it, as he did with Titus (Gal. 2:3). But since Timothy was a Jew, via his mother, and many Christian Jews (as well as unsaved Jews for that matter) felt that circumcision was something God called all Jews to do (not for salvation but to be a good Jew).
