The
history of Anatolia is rich and deep. Some of
mankind's earliest settlements were established
here as early as 10,000 BC. Shortly after this,
at Çatalhöyük, near Konya, Man first grew grain.
In following millenia, civilizations such as
Assyrians, Sumerians and Hittites rose and fell.
Invaders from abroad left their mark, whether
the Men of the Sea, Cyrus, Darius or Alexander
the Great. The town of Troy, near Çanakkale, was
scene of the Trojan War around 1250 BC. Midas,
the king with the golden touch, and Croesus, the
inventor of coinage, were rulers of small but
important Anatolian kingdoms in the first
millennium BC. Many of the great accomplishments
of classical Hellenic civilization in the realms
of art, architecture, philosophy, medicine and
science, came to light in lonia, the region
around present-day lzmir and Bergama. Rome took
Anatolia in the last century BC, and called it
Asia Minor. The Roman provincial capital of
Ephesus was among the largest and finest cities
of its time. St. Paul preached there: the Virgin
Mary died in a small house on the outskirts of
the city. The Seven Churches of Asia, to whom
St. Paul addressed Epistles, are all in
Anatolia. And St. Nicholas, the original Santa
Claus, lived and worked on Anatolia's south
coast. In 330 AD, Constantine the Great
established the eastern capital of the Roman
Empire at Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople.
By the time of the Emperor Justinian (527 to 565
AD) Rome had fallen, and Constantinople was the
capital of the vast empire. The Prophet Mohammed
was born in 570, and within a century the armies
of Islam were threatening the mighty walls of
Constantinople. For centuries, the Byzantine and
Arabic empires struggled for Anatolia, but both
were swept aside by the coming of the Turks.
