', KARADASH--AYAS. As the heat of the weather increased, so did a dense white haze, that was extremely embarrassing to our operations. From the time of our quitting the Sy* hoon, till we reached the cliffs of Kara-1 dash, a distance of twenty-six miles, it cleared away but twice, so as to afford even a momentary glimpse of the mountainous interior. The coast in that interval is a straight sandy beach, on which the surf was so heavy, that the boats were seldom able to land without being half swamped in re-launching: this is one of the pleasures of marine surveying; but though wet clothes were only a slight disaster in the scorching summers of Karamania, wet instruments frequently occasioned us serious inconvenience. From the beach, a plain of great magnitude extends in shore, and, as far as the eye could discern, consists entirely of dreary sand-hills interspersed with shallow akes. The intervention of this swampy desert, will in some measure account for the different routes by which Cyrus and Alexander proceeded from Tarsus to Issus; the former, pursuing the direct road, left this obnoxious plain, the Aleius Campus, * on the right hand; * This plain, however, is distinguished by Abulfeda (Tab. Syr. p. 135) for its beauty and fertility, and no doubt the inner portion of it has been gradually fertilized by the deposite of vegetable earth. while to Alexander, who had visited AnchiaU and Soli, it was more convenient to continue his march along the seashore, passing, according to Strabo, " through the Mallotis to Issus." One of the above lakes communicates with the sea by a narrow channel, through which, instead of a current setting out, we found an indraught from the sea. This channel is three quarters...

Been a continued scene of anarchy, rapine, and contention - her former 'ci ties deserted-her fertile valleys tun tilled - and her rivers and harbours idle. Perhaps nothing can present a more striking - picture-of - the pervading sloth and misery, than the hardly credible fact, that, on this extensive line of coast which stretches along a sea abounding with fish, the inhabitants do not possess a single boat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-disciplinary account of the fate of ancient monuments and technologies in Asia Minor studies the processes and their results with the help of archaeology, history, construction engineering, and travel documentation. To clarify changes, their causes and repercussions, it compares infrastructure engineering (transportation, water management, utilitarian architecture) in antiquity with developments over the past 200 years, using the accounts of European travellers and then of excavations. It analyses patterns of and reasons for the deterioration of material life, documenting the perceptions and understanding of Roman antiquities and engineering by populations living amidst ancient Roman art and architecture, roads, and aqueducts. These are complemented by travellers' accounts of the myriad aspects of the plundering of archaeological sites and antiquities.
Download or read book Souvenirs and New Ideas written by Diane Fortenberry and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2013-06-30 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early travellers to Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Turkey and the Levant recorded and remembered their journeys by collecting or creating mementos of places they visited. This natural inclination took many guises, ranging from painting landscapes or, later, taking photographs to acquiring souvenirs, very often antiquities. The collection of antiquities, a controversial and usually illegal practice today, was in the 18th and 19th centuries not necessarily either, and many privately assembled collections now form the basis of major national museums. Souvenirs and New Ideas explores the human desire to retain the memory of a foreign journey, in a series of essays that examine the collections of a variety of travellers, from intrepid female solo voyagers to European royalty. Their acquisitions included souvenirs ranging from Egyptian mummies and ancient artefacts, to paintings and sketches of places visited, to the raw material for books written at leisure, both scholarly and popular. In their desire to share with those at home some of what they had seen, these voyagers contributed to an understanding of societies little known at the time, and the stories of their travels continue to entrance.
