Using art and artifacts this well-illustrated book covers the history of Turkiye including: the Paleolithic, the Mesolithic, the Neolithic, the Chalcolithic, the Early Bronze Age, the Assyrian Period, the Hittite Phases, the Urartu, the Phrygians, the Lydians, the Persians, the Hellenistic Period, the Romans and Byzantine, with sections on: Troy, Pergamon, Ephesos, Aphrodisias, Heirapolis, Didyma, Xanthos, Side, Perge, Aspendos, Nemrut & Cappadocia. Published in 1987 it was before Gobekli Tepe was discovered. Neither Derinkuya nor Kaymakil were mentioned. At the back was a map showing the different sites, that I wish I had noticed sooner.
