The Cradle of Mankind
The dawn of civilization is traced to a remote hilltop in southern Turkey known as Göbekli Tepe, which contains the oldest known temple built some 11,600 years ago from cleanly carved limestone pillars splashed with bas-reliefs of animals—a cavalcade of gazelles, snakes, foxes, scorpions, and ferocious wild boars. Turkey’s location at the meeting point between Europe and Asia has given rise to an incredible history as waves of people, states, eras, and empires have left their mark on the coastline and mountains, the people and culture. Turkey may have more ancient ruins that pretty much anywhere else, and so many remain near intact. You can stand in the very spots where Alexander the Great, Saint Paul, and Helen of Troy once made history, walk among the graceful columns of a Lycian ruin adjacent to a Mediterranean beach, or set foot in a Roman amphitheater at sunset, imagining the scenes that must have unfolded here thousands of years ago.
