“Greek civilization is definitely a follower of Anatolian civilization.
It is not a forerunner. It cannot be a pioneer because the Greek existence is not as old as the Anatolian civilization.
When we look at history, a 500-year-old civilization cannot create such a deep culture. “
Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı / Halikarnas Fisherman said so.
So on what basis?
With a history of 10 thousand years, Çatalhöyük is far older than the Greek civilization of Göbeklitepe, which is 12 thousand years old, it cannot be compared.
Because the greatest philosophers and historians of Antiquity were born and lived in Anatolia. For example, Herodotus was exiled to Athens, where his language was described as vulgar and foreign.
Well, let’s list the things that come to mind: Ancient Philosophers Who Lived in Anatolia
• Thales. He lived in Milet (Aydın / Didim). …
Anaksimenes. He is one of the philosophers who lived in Milet (Aydın / Didim). …
• Heraclitus. He lived in Ephesus (İzmir / Ephesus / Selçuk). …
Diogenes. He was born in Sinope (Sinop). …
• He was born in Epictetus Hierapolis (Denizli / Pamukkale).
• Lukianos (Lukiyanos) was born in Damascus (Adıyaman / Samsat)
• Xenofanes (Kısefones) was born in Kolophon (İzmir / Değirmendere).
• Kleanthes was born in Canakkale Ayvacık.
• Lived in Anaxagoras Klazomenai (Izmir / Urla).
And historians:
• Herodotus was born in Bodrum (Halicarnassus) Caria Country.
• Homer, Kolophon (between İzmir and Selçuk)
• Strabon, Date of birth: 63 BC, Amasya, Date and place of death: 23 AD, Amasya
Where are those above, where is Greek country?
Don’t you agree with the Halikarnas Fisherman?
For example, the ancient city of Ephesus in the picture was established in 3000 BC.
Anatolian Civilizations are not Greek, on the contrary, they are anti-Greek. In the wars with the Greeks, all of them (Phrygian-Troy, Caria, Lydia and Thracians) were allies and they are related societies.
We will continue to explain the Anatolian civilizations and the Turkish mark on these civilizations. Well-being.
