1. Pergamon, Turkey: A Glimpse into Ancient History (1908) Pergamon, an ancient Greek city located in the northwestern region of Anatolia, Turkey, sixteen miles from the Aegean Sea, is a fascinating testament to the rich cultural heritage of the past. This image, taken during the latest excavations in 1908, showcases the breathtaking ruins that still stand proudly on the Acropolis, overlooking the modern-day city of Bergama, also known as "Misia." Pergamon's history is steeped in intrigue and significance. Once nearly invaded by the Celts, this ancient city was the site of the first Bishop, Antipas, who was believed to have been martyred here in 92 AD. The city was renowned for its famous library, which housed over 200,000 scrolls, making it a significant intellectual center during ancient times. One of the most notable structures still standing on the Acropolis is the great altar of Pergamon, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. This altar, believed to have been dedicated to Zeus, is the inspiration behind John of Patmos' description of "Satan's Throne" in the Book of Revelation (Revelation II:12-13). Moreover, Pergamon was the birthplace of Epigonus, a renowned 3rd-century Greek sculptor, whose masterpieces continue to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts around the world. The latest excavations in 1908 provided invaluable insights into the history of this ancient city, shedding light on its significant role in ancient Greece and beyond. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Pergamon and the rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
