Unveil the mesmerizing "Carpet Field" in Antalya, Turkey, where summer transforms wheat fields into a vibrant tapestry of handmade carpets.

As the sun blazes, hundreds of acres are adorned with carpets woven with intricate patterns and bold hues. These works of art are not mere decorations but symbols of heritage and skilled craftsmanship.

For days, the carpets bask under the sun's embrace, undergoing a remarkable metamorphosis. Harmful bacteria and insects vanish, while the colors subtly shift, blossoming into soft, pastel tones that shimmer like a desert sunrise.

Seal of Tarkasnawa, King of Mira

Hittite, Anatolia, late 13th century BCE (Hittite Empire)

Luwian hieroglyphs surround a figure in royal dress. The inscription, repeated in cuneiform around the rim, gives the seal owner's name: Tarkasnawa, king of Mira. The name of the ruler was previously transliterated into English as Tarkondemos and Tarkummuwa. Other inscriptions naming Tarkasnawa of Mira are known, including seals found at Hattusa (the capital of the Hittite Empire) and the Karabel rock relief carving near Izmir, Turkey. Located in west-central Anatolia, Mira was a vassal state of the Hittite Empire. This seal, originally published in the 1860s, was purchased in Izmir by its first known modern owner, A. Jovanoff. Its famous bilingual inscription provided the first clues for deciphering Luwian hieroglyphs, which were previously called Hittite hieroglyphs.

📍Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷

[vintagegeekculture]

In the colossal, cathedral sized water tank beneath the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, several heads of Medusa have been used as pillar bases for the past 1.500 years. It is not entirely known where the heads came from, but they were believed to be taken from some other Roman ruin. The heads are upside down or sideways to inhibit the power of the Gorgon Medusa's gaze.

The water tank's existence was forgotten for hundreds of years, despite being beneath the Hagia Sophia. When it was rediscovered, explorers found fish inside of it.
