The ancient city of Baikamen is a small city facing the Aegean Sea. It prospered in the second century BC and is now famous for the relics of the kingdom of the Hellenistic period. The ruins are large in scale, interspersed with a large amphitheater that could seat more than 2,000 people, the ruins of many temples, the remains of a gymnasium and sports fields. Baijiameng was the capital of the kingdom era. At that time, the academic and artistic standards were as high as that of Alexandria in Egypt at the same time. In addition, Baijiameng was the birthplace of parchment, which was widely used as a substitute for paper in medieval Europe. In terms of art, the sculptures known as the Baikamen School are particularly prominent works in Greek cultural sculptures. The larger-scale and better-preserved Temple of Zeus, its completeness and delicacy are shocking, but it was destroyed in the nineteenth century. The Germans moved to Berlin as a whole, leaving only a pile of loess for Turkey.

Turkey has many ancient cities left by history, they have preserved it locally, as a attraction to visit the ancient city of Baijiameng is one of them, some pillars are still very Roman style
The ancient city is not very large, although it is not particularly prominent in many ancient cities in Turkey. However, after the visit, there is still a further understanding of the living customs of ancient Turks. Feel the history.
The ticket is much lower than our domestic one. It seems to be 30 Turkish lira. The theater is built on the mountain. It is very powerful. And sitting in the theater can see the city under the mountain. It is still the place of invention of parchment. There are statues, remaining stone pillars, relics of the temple, and there are many areas behind. But it's too late to run that far.
The ancient city of Baijiameng has been more than 2,000 years ago. It is a small city facing the sea of love in Turkey. The ancient city is located on the top of the mountain and tourists can take the cable car.
Remembering scenes that appeared in the movie, listening to many myths and true historical records that have been circulated to this day, the current shortcomings cannot hide the glory of the ancient Greek city state, a mountain city on the Aegean River.
Ancient city of more than 2000 years ago - Baijiameng Ancient City is a small city in Turkey facing the Aegean Sea built on a separate mountaintop, tourists have to take the cable car to climb the ancient city of Baijiameng. Seeing the green hills on the cable car is still there, the ancient city has become ruined, and the buildings here are far older than the earliest Great Wall in China. I really admire my passion for taking pictures, and I lie around like a fool.
The most famous resort in the Aegean Sea is still green hills, but the ancient city is fragmented, far older than the Great Wall of China's earliest history. The ancient Greek city-states can't hide their glory today.
