Knossos submitted by Thorgrim on 12th Nov 2004. The Minoan Palace of Knossos, Crete. Dating from the Minoan Bronze Age, the first palace was built around 2000BC and subsequently destroyed by earthquake. This later palace from the Neopalatial period had 1,200 rooms on five levels. In 1450 BC, it too was destroyed in a disaster caused by the volcanic eruption on Thera (Santorini) which destroyed that island and the Minoan civilisation. The restoration is by Sir Arthur Evans who commenced excavation in 1900.

Kaymakli Underground City
Trip No.2 Entry No.13 Date Added: 20th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Turkey
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 1982
Kaymakli Underground City submitted by Flickr on 26th Nov 2015. Passageway in the underground city of Kaymakli, Cappodocia, Turkey
Cappadocia is one of the prettiest areas of Turkey - rich in scenery and in history. About 1600 years ago, Christians fled the Romans and then Muslims and hid in this area - often in underground cities - absolutely fascinating. The natural scenery is also unique - laced with volcanos and looking like the surface of the moon. The rock formations are called Fairy Chimneys - very impressive. I took these photos in October 2008....

Colossi of Memnon
Trip No.1 Entry No.13 Date Added: 20th Sep 2010
Site Type: Carving
Country: Egypt (Upper Egypt (South))
Visited: Yes on 1st Nov 1981
Colossi of Memnon submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Jan 2006. Large colosal statues of Amenhotep III (Father of Akhenaten). They were originaly carved out of one block but suffered greatly during the 27 BCE earthquake which leveled the Palace of Amenhotep II behind them and damaged many other antiquities in Egypt.
Memnon was a charachter in Homer's Illiad. The Romans though it was amusing to rename the colossi as one of them emited a sighing sound at sunrise on account of air excaping from a fissure, which reminded them of this myth.
