Hierapolis Archeological Museum
One of the largest buildings of Hierapolis Ancient Town was the Roman Baths. Since 1984 this building has been used as the Hierapolis Archeology Museum. Alongside works of art from the excavations at Hierapolis are findings from Laodicea, Colossae, Tripolis, Attuda and other towns of the Lycus (Çürüksu) Valley.
Also, the museum has an extensive section devoted to artifacts found at Beycesultan Höyük that includes some of the most beautiful examples of Bronze Age crafts.
Material which has come the surface in the Caria, Pisidia, and Lydia regions are also on display in the museum. The museum's exhibition space consists of the three closed areas of the Hierapolis Bath and the open areas on the eastern side which are known to have been the library and the gymnasium. Many of the large exhibits and all the small exhibits are shown in rooms A, B and C that were the three closed sections of the bath. Marble and other stone artifacts are exhibited in the garden.
Room A contains findings from the excavations at Hierapolis and Laodicea, including sarcophagi, statues, gravestones, pedestals, pillars, and inscriptions. Among these artifacts are statues of Tyche, Dionysos, Pan, Asklepios, Isis, Demeter and Triton, which although executed by the Romans were inspired by the Hellenistic traditions. Particularly interesting are representations of local customs on family tombs. Peculiar to this area are the most beautiful examples of baked earth sarcophagi.
One of the most valuable works of art in this room is the sarcophagus belonging to a certain Arhon of the 'Sidemera' type. With its inscription to Maximilion, it is the finest work to emerge from the ancient towns of Lahdi and Laodicea.
Room B mostly displays small finds from several civilizations of the last 4.000 years. These works, which are displayed in chronological order, include works from many archeological sites in and around Denizli. In this room, separate importance is given to the finds from Beycesultan Hoyuk.
These finds are quite possibly the most beautiful examples of an ancient civilization. These works, which were found by the excavation conducted by the British Institute of Archeology, include idols, baked earth bowls, libation cups, seals and other stone artifacts. In other parts of the room are displayed objects from the Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods such as glass cups, necklaces, gemstones (in the form of rings, bracelets, earrings and so on) and earthenware lamps.
This room also contains an important sequence of ancient coins arranged in chronological order. The earliest of these coins were minted in the sixth century AD, and the display proceeds through the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods with coins of gold, silver, and bronze.
Room C
In this room beautiful works from the theater of Hierapolis, most of which have been restored, are displayed. Some of the reliefs of the scenery building remain in situ but parts of them have been replaced by copies. In the works found in the room, there are reliefs devoted to the myth of Apollo and Artemis, the delights of Dionysos and the Roman Emperor Septimus Severus. There are depictions of the abduction of Persephone by Hades and sculpted sphinxes. Sculpted reliefs reminiscent of Attalos and Eumenes are on display. Inscriptions describing the coronation of the goddess Hierapolis and decisions of the assembly concerning the theatre may be seen.

Photographs of Tripoli and the National Museum of Antiquities
A slideshow of photographs taken in Tripoli and the National Museum of Antiquities, Libya in February 2009.
In February 2009 we went on a 5-day trip to the beautiful and friendly country of Libya. Going mainly to see the amazing archaeology of the ancient city of Leptis Magna, we discovered that Libya has a whole lot more to offer.
The people there are most welcoming and friendly and the place is unspoiled by mass tourism. There is much that has survived from the ancient world, and the sites (which are all over the country) are relatively empty of visitors.
Libya is culturally very sophisticated and downtown Tripoli, though suffering from lack of investment and infrastructure, is safe and welcoming.
See all of my Libya photographs here:
Libya (12/2010) - Tripoli, Medina
Tripoli (Arabic: طرابلس Ṭarābulus)- also طرابلس الغرب Ṭarābulus al-Gharb Libyan vernacular: Ṭrābləs pronunciation; derived from Τρίπολη; the Greek word for three cities in Greek: Τρίπολις Tripolis) is the largest city and capital of Libya.
The Tripoli metropolitan area (district area) has a population of 1,065,405 (2006 census). The city is located in the northwest of the country on the edge of the desert, on a point of rocky land projecting into the Mediterranean Sea and forming a bay. Tripoli was founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who named it Oea.
Tripoli is the largest city, the principal sea port, and the largest commercial and manufacturing center in Libya. It is also the site of Al-Fateh University. Due to the city's long history, there are many sites of archaeological significance in Tripoli. The climate is typical Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers, cool winters and some modest rainfall.
The city's old town is still unspoiled by mass-tourism, though it is increasingly being exposed to more and more visitors from abroad, following the lifting of the UN embargo in 2003. However, the walled Medina retains much of its serene old-world ambiance. The Assaraya al-Hamra (the Red Castle), a vast palace complex with numerous courtyards, dominates the city skyline and is located on the outskirts of the Medina. There are some classical statues and fountains from the Ottoman period scattered around the castle.
The Gurgi and Karamanli mosques, with their intricate decorations and tilework, are examples of the artistic skills of local craftsmen. Just outside the Gurgi mosque is the Arch of Marcus Aurelius, the only surviving Roman monument in the city. More and more palaces (especially from the Karamanli period) are also being restored and opened to the public. The basic street plan of the medina was laid down in the Roman period when the walls were constructed as protection against attacks from the interior of Tripolitania, and are considered well planned, possibly better than modern street plans. In the 8th century a wall on the sea-facing side of the city was added.
Three gates provided access to the old town: Bab Zanata in the west, Bab Hawara in the southeast and Bab Al-Bahr in the north wall. The city walls are still standing and can be climbed for good views of the city. The Bazaar is also known for its traditional ware; fine jewelery and clothes can be found in the local markets.
Archaeological Museum of Kavala
The Archaeological Museum of Kavala was constructed in 1963 by D. Fatoyro and G. Triantafyllidis, professors of the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
It is located at the city center, close to Faliro park.
The artifacts that are hosted by the museum, include objects made of stone and clay belonging to the Neolithic period and the bronze age, as well as to the Ntikili-Tash housing area.
Also, in a special room, lie findings of Neapoli such as remnants of the Athena Parthenos Temple (Ionic capitals), archaic and classical figurines and black-figured vases as well as findings from the ancient Amphipolis.
Exhibits found on the first floor relate to the wider region of Thrace, mainly of the “dead” cities of Isimis, Galipsu and Avdera.
The Museum also contains collections of prehistoric findings, excavation findings of Neapolis, Amphipolis findings and much more. In the Museum there are also collections of prehistoric finds, excavation findings of Neapolis, finds Amphipolis etc

Ancient Eleusis - Greece (April 2014)
Ένα βίντεο περιήγηση στον αρχαιολογικό χώρο της Ελευσίνας.
Τα Ελευσίνια ήταν γιορτή και μυστηριακή τελετή που πραγματοποιούνταν στην Ελευσίνα της Αττικής προς τιμήν της θεάς Δήμητρας και της Περσεφόνης. Κατά κοινή παραδοχή, επρόκειτο για την ιερότερη και πιο σεβαστή τελετή από όλες τις γιορτές της αρχαίας Ελλάδας.
Ημερομηνία λήψης 6 Απριλίου 2014
The Eleusinian Mysteries were initiation ceremonies held every year for the cult of Demetra and Persephone based at Eleusis in ancient Greece. Of all the mysteries celebrated in ancient times, these were held to be the ones of greatest importance. The mysteries represented the myth of the abduction of Persephone from her mother Demeter by the king of the underworld Hades, in a cycle with three phases, the descent (loss), the search and the ascent, with the main theme the ascent of Persephone and the reunion with her mother. It was a major festival during the Hellenic era, and later spread to Rome. The name of the town, Eleusís seems to be Pre-Greek and it is probably a counterpart with Elysium and the goddess Eileithyia.

Ancient features still survive in coastal Libya
(11 May 2018) LEADIN:
The ancient city of Ptolemais has witnessed many different civilisations since it was founded in 6 BC.
Its ruins still stand in the north of Libya.
STORYLINE:
Ptolemais, or Tolmeita as it's called now, is an ancient Greek city located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in north-eastern Libya, 112 kilometres (70 miles) east of the city of Benghazi.
All the ancient civilisations in the region have passed through of Ptolemais through the ages.
The city witnessed its heyday during the Greek era, where it became one of the most important cities of North Africa, and its economy emerged through producing Silphium, which was a plant that was used in classical antiquity as a food seasoning and a medicine.
It was a rare important plant native to the region at the time and was exported to most parts of the ancient world: now the plant is considered extinct.
As a result of this economic prosperity and political stability, Ptolemais flourished with a rich culture and produced a generation of philosophers, poets and scientists.
The city was founded in the 6th century BC as a port for the city of Barca, now known as Marj.
Ptolemais was one of the five cities that formed the Greek Pentapolis (five cities) of Cyrenaica.
Its location extends from mountains to sea and between two valleys, making it an aesthetically pleasing location.
The Ptolemaic tombs, the great reservoirs and the Roman theatre are few of its many historical features that still survive today, despite the Crete earthquake that hit the entire region in 365 AD which destroyed the other four cities of the Pentapolis along with many cities and towns in the Mediterranean.
What distinguishes this city is that it witnessed Hellenistic, Greek and Byzantine times, But the Roman period is its most important period.
Within the city squares are important archaeological places including the Amphitheatre, a theatre used for wrestling and fencing.
What distinguishes Ptolemies also is the open water reservoirs, the Romans were concerned with the economy and agriculture making them their priority. They built the huge reservoirs because of the dryness of the area and its lack of wells at the time.
The area is rich in its archaeological stock, as some antiques and statues have been kept in the Museum of Ptolemais, which also contains many mosaics. One of them is the famous mosaic of the Four Seasons Palace and the mosaic of Orpheus, a prophet of the ancient Greek religion, who had the ability to gather all the creatures of the world with his music only.
For the statues, the museum contains a distinctive collection, including a statue of Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest and wine, the statue of Medusa the god of wisdom in ancient Libyan mythology, and a statue of Cleopatra I (Syra), the wife of Ptolemy V of Egypt.
However, despite the value of the artefacts displayed in the museum, it is neglected.
Archaeological artefacts are stacked inside the storerooms and the museum remains at risk of being looted by artefact smugglers due to weak security.

GREECE - The Archaeological Museum of Tegea
1906 - 1907: Bishop Neilos (Smyrniotopoulos) donates a plot of land at Piali (modern day Alea) to the Archaeological Society at Athens for the construction of the Archaeological Museum of Tegea. The Society accepts the donation and proceeds to the approval of the construction cost of the building.
-|| Athens, Greece -|- The best city to visit in the world ||-
Athens, the capital city of Greece, is one of the oldest cities in the world and now the financial and spiritual center of modern Greece. Particularly, the total population of the metropolitan area of Athens is larger than 3.7 million out of 10.8 million which is the total population of Greece according to the latest official census (2011). Therefore, Athens is by far the largest city in Greece (second largest city is Thessaloniki with a total metropolitan population of about 1.1 million).
The enchanting capital of Greece is the birthplace of some of the most influential philosophers the world has ever known. Furthermore, Athens is known as the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of Western civilization. Consisting of an urban district and metropolitan area, a large city center, Athens offers a confusing blend of both modern and historical features. Major Athens attractions include Acropolis, Plaka District, Ancient Agora (the oldest mall and 'stock' exchange market in the world), Erectheum, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Syntagma Square, National Archaeological Museum, Mount Lycabettus, New Acropolis Museum and National Garden.
Apart from the above, the wider metropolitan area of Athens has important modern business centers. In particular Athens and Greece in general are not only history. The capital of Greece is not only a beautiful city with wonderful places and tourism attractions. Athens is also a promising place to invest, providing substantial opportunities, characteristic of an emerging stock (Athens Stock Exchange/ASE) and real market.

Visit of Sabratha Libya
Full visit of the ruins of the ancient roman city of Sabratha around 80 Km west of Tripoli (Libya)
Sabratha古代ローマの市の台なしの完全な訪問トリポリの西のおよそ80キロメートル
Ancient Sabratha:
Sabratha's port was established, perhaps about 500 BC, as a Phoenician trading-post that served as a coastal outlet for the products of the African hinterland. Sabratha became part of the short-lived Numidian Kingdom of Massinissa before being Romanized and rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The Emperor Septimus Severus was born nearby in Leptis Magna, and Sabratha reached its monumental peak during the rule of the Severans. The city was badly damaged by earthquakes during the 4th century, particularly the quake of AD 365. It was rebuilt on a more modest scale by Byzantine governors. Within a hundred years of the Arab conquest of the maghreb, trade had shifted to other ports and Sabratha dwindled to a village.
The archaeological site :
Besides its magnificent late 3rd century theater, that retains its three-storey architectural backdrop, Sabratha has temples dedicated to Liber Pater, Serapis and Isis. There is a Christian basilica of the time of Justinian and remnants also of some of the mosaic floors that enriched elite dwellings of Roman north Africa (for example, at the Villa Sileen, near Al-Khoms), although these are most clearly preserved in the coloured patterns of the seaward (or Forum) baths, directly overlooking the shore, and in the black and white floors of the Theater baths.
There is an adjacent museum containing some treasures from Sabraha, but others can be seen in the national museum in Tripoli (wikipedia)
