CURRENT ARCHAEOLOGY ISSUE 48 PERGAMON ALTAR
What does the breathtaking battle between the Gods and the Giants on the Pergamon Altar tell? How did the Antiquities Law of 1874 affect the Pergamon Altar?
Just as Winston Churchill was wrong when he said, "Human history is the history of war," those who try to build a history with war and destruction today have fallen into a similar error. Mesopotamia and Anatolia, the most important geography in the history of civilization, are being destroyed by the people who civilized them in the past. Civilization was established and developed with the hope, peace and labor of people, not with wars. War has created great pain and destruction in the past, as it does today.
Human history has always experienced great dark periods after great wars and destructions. After the collapse of the Hittites, Anatolia remained in darkness for a long time. War did not create human history. War is not a way to recreate it. Anatolia has never allowed any society that is only known for war to create a civilization. The Kaskas, Cimmerians, Scythians, Galatians, who lived in Anatolia for hundreds of years fighting, are in a state of uncertainty in history because they could not create a peaceful civilization, and archaeologically, there are very few traces of the Persians.
Because warrior nations only try to exist by fighting and destroying. When we look back today, the most beautiful ruins and examples of civilization of all ages, from Göbekli Tepe to Çatalhöyük, from the Hittite geography to Lycia, flourished and developed in times when these people lived in peace and tranquility, became rich and were able to trade.
Today, we live in a time when the world is undergoing a great change with technological civilization. Whatever emerges as a result of this period of time when the East, especially Mesopotamia, is fought with war, poverty and all kinds of cultural, religious, linguistic and racial divisions, it is certain that it will not be valuable and important for the benefit and future of humanity.
