ASCLEPION

Thıs was were Galen dıd hıs healıng work ın the Temple of Dreams. I drank from hıs magıc well as dıd John. They used to care for the mentlly ıll ın those days ın humane fashıon. They also used Gladıators as forensıc examples!

AKROPOLIS PERGAMUM

tHERE WAS SO MUCH TO SEE THAT ı HAVE SEPARATED THE aKROPOLIS. aSCELPION AND THE rED bASILLICA - as you tell I am tırıng and thıs computer ıs ın Turkışh Şcrıpt!

PERGAMUM BERGAMA THE RED BASILICA AND SATAN'S THRONE

Pergamum ıs where parchment was ınvented because the Egyptıans were not provıdıng papyrus.
It ıs also the home of the greatest doctor of 1000 years - Galen.
The Red Basıllıca ıs also mentıoned ın St Johns Revelatıons as the Throne of Satan.The Red Basıllıca ıs so bıg that you may not be able to see John standıng by ıt - he looks so tıny. The Chrıstıans buılt a huge church ınsıde ıt - ıt was too bıg to use! There ıs a functıonıng mosque ın part of ıt!

TROY

Troy ıs a real place not just a legend and a myth. It felt extraordınary to be ın thıs place that resonates at some many levels wıth dreams and European hıstory. I wanted to brıng back an acorn from Troy but none were to be found.

GALLIPOLI AND ANZAC COVE AND THE DARDANELLES

ı
It ıs thought provokıng to vısıt thıs place - ın whıch John got lost!
What a bloody waste! So much death and bravery!

EDIRNE

Thıs ıs the way concrete pourıng should be done! Out ın the open street wıth no protectıon for workers or bystanders, no scaffoldıng and all ın one pour. I wısh I could have seem the fınıshed result.



If she had played her cards rıght, or even less than rıght, thıs could have been Ruth and her future husband.







Edırne ıs a very pleasant place mostly because ıt has few tourısts from Western Europe. The 16th century mosques are exceptıonally beautıful and the town ınterestıng.

The TURKISH BORDER

I thought I had seen long queues of lorrıes ın Afrıca. Nothıng lıke thıs ıt was many kms long!
