EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, created by Stanfords Geographical Establishment in c1915, showcases the route between Karaman and Kiz Kale. The map depicts the journey of Mark Sykes, a British writer, soldier, and diplomatic advisor during his travels through Central Anatolia and the Ottoman Empire. The map is filled with intriguing features marked along the way. Towers, lakes, temples, theatres, caves, ruins, aqueducts, and castles dot this historical landscape. It provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this region. Mark Sykes was an extraordinary individual who explored Palestine, Iraq Syria Persia and Turkey between 1905 to 1913. He served as an honorary attache to the British Embassy in Constantinople from 1905 to 1906 before being elected to parliament. During World War I he worked in the Intelligence department of the War Office. Tragically though at just 39 years old he succumbed to Spanish flu. His contributions were not forgotten as his writings on Turkish history were published posthumously under "The Caliphs Last Heritage". This short history of the Turkish Empire sheds light on its past glory. This print takes us back in time to witness Sir Mark Sykes' adventurous journey through mountains and valleys while unraveling ancient wonders along his path. It serves as a testament to both his remarkable exploration skills and enduring legacy within academia.
