 River at Selge by uglyscot
The day we went we experienced a sudden downpour and the river suddenly turned brown with the mud carried down.
We also were invited into a house for tea. We sat on carpets and cushions on the floor , and glasses of mint tea were poured from a samovar in the centre of the room. True hospitality for a group of strangers. Leave a Comment

The treasure was found by accident by a peasant in the antique city of Korydalla by Kumluca in 1963.This treasure consist of church liturgical silver vessels such as;an oil lamp,a cencer,the cover of a Bible,a bordered tray and silver liturgical vessels and covers.
A part of this rare and eye catching trasure was shamefully stolen and smuggled abroad in the year it was found.This stolen items are still displayed in the Byzantine Research Institute Dumbarton Oaks,Washington,USA.
This treasury can be dated to the 6th century A.D and it belonged to the Monastry of SION,located in antique Myra(Demre) city.

This sarcophagus was discovered during excavations conducted at Perge and has been exhibited since 1962.It is from the group of tombs classified as "columned sarcophagi of Asia Minor".The lid of the sarcophagus is of the roof-shaped type with a triangular pediment at each end.On each of the pediments are carved Medusa heads that were deployed to protect the grave.
HERACLES;he is the son of the God Zeus and mortal Alkmene.Hera,the wife of Zeus,can't bear the fact that her husband betrayed her with a mortal and hates Heracles,the offsprings of the relationship.That is why she let Heracles to go mad and kill his wife and children.When Heracles recovered from this madness he wanted to purify himself from these sins.The oracle of Apollo,he consulted told him to enter the service of King Eurysthens and through this service he could expunge his sins and attain immortality.The King,who was on the side of Hera,ordered Heracles to complete twelve missions,each harder than the previous one.

Icons are paintings made in order to teach religion to the people and also to carry out acts of worship in the ritual of the Orthodox Christian religion.By day and night Christians worshipped with candles lit in front of these icons depicting Jesus and the Virgin Mary and other divine,respected and sainted figures as also scenes from their lives and depictions of incidents reported in the Holly Bible including scenes from Old Testament.But paying homage to an icon is not actually for its material form,as prayers are offered to the subject represented by the depiction,rather than to the depiction itself.
There are 2 kinds of icons according to their types:
1-icons in worship,
2-icons employed for teaching.
Not only wood was used as the support for icons,but also materials such as;marble,ivory,mosaics,glass have been employed.
