Anatolia...
Anatolia's known history extends back to the Palaeolithic epoch
before written history. In Neolithic times, its people discovered
the numerical system. They built the oldest city of history... They
made the first written peace agreement... It was these people who
built dams to rule nature; it was them who built ships to conquer
the seas... They lived in the first republican states of the
world... It was also these people who committed mass suicide in
Xanthos, to show the whole world how to die for freedom. The myths
and realities of the people of Anatolia found expression in their
various arts...
