Priene ancient town is located 35 kilometers away from Kusadasi. It retains ruins which include several columns of the Temple of Athena, much of the city wall, a well-preserved theater and a council chamber. Priene’s history dates back to 2000 BC. The ancient town itself is located on a hillside, which means that in order to see it, visitors will need to climb the stairs. But since this hill is full of gorgeous pines, it makes walking quite pleasant. Sightseeing took us about an hour and a half. The ruins are open to visitors every day, 08:00-18.30, in winter - until 17:30. #historicplaces #ruins #turkey

Compared to Troy, Bai Jiameng I have not heard of before, but it does not mean that it is not worth seeing. When I visited, I was fascinated by the stunning theater in Baijiameng. The ancient city of Baijiameng is a small city facing the Aegean Sea. It flourished in the second century BC and is now known as the ruins of the kingdom with Greek culture. The ruins are large in size, with large amphitheatre that can accommodate more than 2,000 people, the ruins of many temples, the remains of stadiums and sports fields. The ancient city of Baijiameng is located on a high ground in the city of Gama, Turkey, so the cable car is built for tourists to visit. The cable car is free and runs for a short time, about 5 minutes. The wind in Baijiameng is very, very large, because it is on the top of the mountain. In the winter, you need to bring gloves and scarves. The hat is recommended not to be taken. It will be blown away and you can wear hooded clothes. After the summit, the ruins of the ancient city are displayed in front of you, and the old glory of the ancient city seems to be felt. Baijiameng is the capital of the Kingdom. At that time, the academic and artistic standards were comparable, and it was comparable to Alexander in Egypt at the same time.

It is said that more than 300 BC, Alexander the Great left the treasures of the country in Baijiameng on the way to Persia. He believes that this highland city is the safest place. However, what I didn't expect was that Alexander died in India at the age of 32 because of yellow fever, and the general who stayed in Baijiamen to take care of the treasures claimed to be the king in the local area. Since then, Bai Jiameng, a kingdom with a Greek cultural background, has experienced five or six kings for more than 150 years. The library in Baijiamen is said to be no less than the library of Alexandria, with a collection of 200,000 books. As a result, the Egyptian dynasty was very embarrassed about this library, prohibiting the export of special paper. and Bai Jiameng invented the alternative parchment, which was widely used as a substitute for paper in medieval Europe. Baijiameng's fine art is also very good. It is called the carving of the Baijiameng faction and is a particularly prominent work in Greek cultural sculpture. Now, all of these items are housed in the Bergama Museum in Berlin, Germany. Baijiameng had a Zeus altar in the past. It is a particularly prominent work in Greek cultural sculpture. It is the largest and most preserved temple of Zeus. It can be said that it was the artistic treasure of the classical architecture at that time, but in the 19th century. Moved to Berlin by the Germans, leaving only a pile of loess for Turkey.

Saying that the ancient city of Turkey, everyone should think of Ephesus in the first reaction, and after going there, I found that the ancient city of Baijiamen is not inferior to Ephesus. The ancient city of Baijiamen in Turkey, located on the Aegean Sea, is a relic of Greek civilization. It is not wrong, it is a Greek civilization. The ancient city ruins have all kinds of facilities that can be found in the city, including the amphitheatre. It is also a good place to shoot portraits. The cliffs are far away and the scenery is unobstructed. However, it is brilliant again, and it is no match for the broken wall after the ruin of the years.
