The history of Bodrum, known as Halicarnassus or Halicarnassos goes back to the 13th century BC. Excavaties reveal the 5000 year old history of this town. Many civilisations found their home here. Carians for excample, Homer tells in his Ilia, that the Carians helped to defend Troya.

Heredotus, known as the father of history, was born in Bodrum in 484 BC.- and he said that Bodrum had been founded by the Dorians. The next settlers were Carians and Lelegians. In the 6'th. century BC., the region came under Persian rule. Its most brilliant period was around 353. BC. when it was the capital of the Satrap of Caria (In this century it was famous for its trade, sailing and boatbuilding.) Artemisia who was a warrior-woman played a significant role in the protection of the Asian Union and she achieved fame by adopting a stance against Rhodes as the Admiral of the Carian fleet in 480 BC.

Don’t be driven to despair. Almost every foot of the earth is the ancient burial place of someone or the site of some home or business.

Especially places with a nice view or other good reason for building—location, location,location.

So we’ll save and study what we can. Look at the amazing work going on in Rome on Palatine hill which has been documented here.

People/ethnic groups who do not hold respect for relics of previous civilizations are clueless and severely limited in their thinking...
