New Trip! Ancient Anatolia

— Dick Linford / Monday, October 10, 2011

We are very excited about our new tour in Turkey, Ancient Anatolia. On this trip we are venturing farther east, into what was once Anatolia, and further into this area's past. While we visit mainly Byzantine, Roman and Greek sites on our traditional tours, here we move into the realm of the Hittites, visit Abraham's birthplace, and finally stop at Gobekli Tepe, the recently discovered site that existed eleven thousand six hundred years ago, making it significantly older than the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt. This fabulous site is forcing archeologists to revise their whole thinking about the beginnings of civilization.

Here's a great video from the History Channel about Gobekli Tepe.
