CURRENT ARCHAEOLOGY 50TH ISSUE GAZİANTEP
Journey to Gaziantep, the City of All Ages. There are some cities where you feel alive. Their streets and buildings resemble human forms and carry traces of life. Gaziantep is one of these cities. As a living witness of the last few millennia of human history in particular, all traces of the past can be seen all around the city. Sometimes the city is an inscription in Carchemish, sometimes a recipe in the Zincirli reliefs, sometimes a story embroidered on the Zeugma mosaic. In this city where the East and the West intertwine, you can follow civilization step by step.
Journey to Gaziantep
There are some cities that you feel alive. Their streets and buildings resemble human forms and bear traces of life. Gaziantep is one of these cities. All traces can be seen all around the city, like a living witness of the last few millennia of human history in particular. Sometimes the city appears before us with an inscription in Carchemish, sometimes a recipe in the Zincirli reliefs, sometimes a story engraved on the Zeugma mosaic. None of them are strangers to each other. The time difference between them does not distance them. On the contrary, they are complementary and continuous. The smell that surrounds you as you walk through the streets of the city is the smell of this past. When the streets of Gaziantep draw you in, your journey to a living city has begun. Each stop, each taste whispers a new story into your ear.
Issue 50 is the first stop of our CITY AND ARCHAEOLOGY series. This series started with a journey to Gaziantep, the city of all ages. Gaziantep is one of the cities worth seeing with its historical texture belonging to every religion, every language and every culture, along with dozens of archaeological sites spread around it. As Aktüel Arkeoloji Magazine, we wanted to tell the reader about the city and archaeological texture of Gaziantep with a special issue together with Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality. Gaziantep, where you can see the traces of all ages from Zeugma to Carchemish, from Zincirli to Doliche, from Tilmen to Yesemek, is one of the places to be seen. Both the local government and the people of Gaziantep protect its archaeological, cultural and historical heritage as well as its tangible and intangible heritage. This is quite pleasing and encouraging. Gaziantep awaits you with all these beauties.
Hasankeyf
The Hasankeyf Train that hit the roads in 2005 is still in the memory of many of us. It made a splash both in Turkey and the world, the expected sensitivity from the public was achieved and the countries that would provide loans for the Ilısu Dam in Europe heard this voice echoing from Hasankeyf. Afterwards, hundreds of actions, panels and initiatives were held to protect Hasankeyf and ensure that future generations see it. Each one had a single purpose, to not put obstacles on the rivers to produce energy in the 21st century. Especially in Anatolia, civilizations were established around rivers for thousands of years. Dams would and will destroy not only these civilizations, but also nature and people.
Ten years have passed. A tender was held for the TRANSPORTATION of some IMMOVABLE Cultural Assets in Hasankeyf. In other words, despite all efforts, thousands of mounds, natural areas, people's living spaces and Hasankeyf were said to remain under the Ilısu Dam. Hundreds of tons of IMMOVABLE structures in Hasankeyf will PROBABLY be moved in 2016. No matter how much you turn a deaf ear to all sounds and sensitivities, the memory of human history will not forgive you. Hasankeyf is a part of the world as well as the people of this geography. Protecting Hasankeyf and all other civilizational remains is human honor. Protecting Hasankeyf and the smallest remains of human history in Anatolia is our responsibility.
