The Beginning
The Beginning - Loading the bus for the first time. The stay in Ankara was just over night. We visited the Ataturk Mausoleum and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. The museum houses the greatest collection of Hittite antiquities in the world. The Hittite civilization flourished in central Anatolia in the second millennium BC and at one time rivaled that of ancient Egypt. Catahoyuk is believed to be the oldest city in the world and dates from approximately 6000 BC, it is located near Konya. A replica of a house in Catahoyuk has been created in the museum.
