Cusco – Ancient Journeys – 04 – Tigris & Euphrates.mp3
This is the Album of Cusco Ancient Journeys .. One better than the other as you will feel.
Arsameia, the tomb that Antiochus built for his father. The entrance is guarded by a large relief of the Persian god, Mithra. We cross a Roman bridge still carrying the modern highway to see the nearby tumulus of Karakus, tombs that contained the burials of Commagene queens and princesses.
The Harran plain contains a village of curious beehive shaped homes that are believed to be the ancient Charan, mentioned in Genesis as the home of Abraham. It has been continuously occupied since at least 2000 B.C., and was the site of the Temple of Sin, the oriental moon deity.
Diyarbakir, at least 5000 years old and one of the oldest cities in the world. It is a fascinating town encircled by massive fortifications built of jet-black blocks of basalt. The 4th-century wall is more than three miles long and is covered with inscriptions and carved reliefs, and from the top there are magnificent vistas overlooking the Tigris and Euphrates River valleys.

Hi Eve,I’ve always been interested in ancient cultures. That’s part of the reason that I would love to go to Egypt. When I was in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco on vacation (years ago with my mom), we saw some of the ancient buildings left behind by the Romans & the Moors. There is a bridge in Seville, Spain that was built by the Romans, and is still being used till this day (they just don’t build them like they used to). I know the Middle East is full of history. Many ancient civilizations rose and fell there. The Garden of Eden was there; the Tower of Babel; The Hanging Gardens, and much more. I’m sure lots is still buried under the sands of time there. Would be nice to find what else is there. Maybe one day, somebody will.Love,Marcus
HI Marcus,I am so happy to know you did get to go to those countries and see and feel the magic that many centuries ago brave people to risks to build empires and who had forsight to buid strong cities and cultures.Maybe one day teams will uncover the sands and find treausures of cities and also civilizations we can learn from.Thank you for sharing your travels and understanding my post.LoveEve
HI Allan,Thank you for allowing me to broaden your mind and heart.. The music is magical alone and with the blending of the photos and wordsit’s crystal clear :)We all belong to the same race… HUMAN and to think of the what IFs is really unimaginable.. Politicans really don’t think of tomorrows only the todays and it’s up to the regualar people to keep their minds in check.I hope “WE” as HUMANS can all do this before “WE” as HUMANS will be the reason there is no more “WE” .
