Extractions: The Team experiences the siege of the ancient port city of Miletus by Alexander the Great, and learns about its maritime and cultural dominance. Includes information on Thales, philosophy, geometry, Memnon, ruins and warfare. Using the same method Thales used on the Pyramids, figure out the height of your school building (or any other large object or structure) by measuring its shadow at the same time of day that your own shadow equals your own height. Discuss the geometry behind this technique, and the ancient origins of other laws of geometry. Abeja - The Many Faces of God Here in Ephesus This article traces the history of Ephesus from its foundation through Roman times, focussing on the worship of Cybele/Artemis/Diana as the patron goddess-'til the Christians came along. It touches upon the Hittites, Ionia, the Persian Wars, Alexander the Great, and the Romans. Includes a sidebar about the seven wonders of the ancient world. This dispatch shows how cultures and traditions can combine and metamorphose over time. Ephesus was a crossroads and melting pot of the ancient world, as illustrated by the changing status of the temple. Consulting various sources (an encyclopedia, the internet, etc.) ask your students to compare Artemis, Cybelle, and Diana, the goddesses that the temple of Ephesus was dedicated to. Are they different goddesses completely, the same goddess but from different cultures? Follow up with a more general discussion about cultural fusion, perhaps using illustrations closer to home (fusion of music, food, religion, etc.)

Extractions: Icy-slick roads, glorious white-capped mountains, and tiny footprints across the pristine snow-covered valley of Central Anatolia held my gaze. My imagination however was not so easily contained. Instead it soared about in my mind on a magic carpet ride, place to place, from one corner of the earth to the next . It seems as if we've been everywhere together on this Odyssey. And long bus rides provide the perfect opportunity to reminisce on that fact. This particular journey (eight hours from Kutahya to Olimpos) took me back. I thought about the long hot days we spent in Mali basking on riverboats up the Niger (until that rain and sandstorm hit of course). But even that was a far cry from this. Turkey here we come! This place, Olimpos, however, was not snowy or cold. As a matter of fact, But not only that, from what I hear, Olimpos brings it all together, like the energy of the elements fire, water, earth, and wind becoming one and creating the legends you only dreamed of. I was getting a little ahead of myself. We still had a long way to go before the mountains of Central Anatolia were behind us. But that was nothing a nap or two wouldn't take care of. So I decided to finish reading up on Olimpos until I dozed off. And like clockwork (

Table of Contents ABSTRACT KEYWORDS: Euphrates, GAP, Middle East, Three staged plan ,Tigris, Turkey, Water allocation, Water deficit Return To Table Of Contents INTRODUCTION With rapidly increasing population rates, expanding resource and industrial development, and dwindling water supplies on national and regional levels, water is fast replacing oil as the world's most valuable resource. Its scarcity and quality-related problems are already having a profound impact on the ability of nations to care for their populations, as well as to assure that adequate water supplies will exist to meet future economic and environmental needs. This increasing importance of water in geopolitical affairs is also escalating the potential for conflict over water resources among nations. It is estimated that there are presently at least ten places in the world where war could erupt over dwindling trans-boundary water resources. The majority of these sites are in the Middle East, (Starr,1990) where fifty percent of the population depends on water flowing from another sovereign State (Kolars,1986).
