EDITORS COMMENTS
Adana, Turkey: A Caravan of Camels on the Ancient Road to the Cilician Plain (Adana, the capital city of Adana Province in southeastern Turkey, is intrinsically linked to the history of Tarsus and the ancient city of Antioch on the Sarus. Adana is one of the largest cities in Turkey and serves as the gateway to the fertile Cilician Plain. Some claim the name Adana is derived from the Hittite language, while others attribute it to the Greek word for 'gathering.' The city's rich history is evident in its role as a major trade center throughout the Ottoman Empire. The caravan of camels in this photograph is a testament to the city's past as a hub for the transportation of goods, particularly silk and other valuable wares, across the vast expanse of the Anatolian plateau. The end of the road, marked by the distant city of Adana, signifies the final destination for these traders and their porters, who have traveled for days with their laden camels. The camels, with their humped backs and resilient demeanor, are the perfect animals for the arduous journey across the rugged terrain. The Treaty of Ankara, signed in Adana in 1921 between France and the Turkish Grand National Assembly, marked the end of the Cilicia War and solidified Turkey's sovereignty over the region. Today, Adana remains an important cultural and economic center, continuing to draw travelers and traders from around the world.
