This book is a PIRATED copy of the original. It appears Paul Kegan changed the front page of the original book and modified other information which appears to be fake. This book is ILLEGALLY published as a PIRATED copy by Paul Kegan.

"The" handbook about Anatolian archaeology

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2003

If anyone likes a "different" kind of tourism, paying a visit to Turkey with the help of this magnificent manual, will be a surprise. Any place and monument of archaeological interest, no matter of how small it is, has its short (although complete) or very detailed description. The merit of Prof. Akurgal was to write a really academic book, that works like a classical "Baedeker" guide. Each chapter leaves to the reader the desire to know even more, and the monumental bibliography gives the best help.
One year ago, I've visited the region of Caria with some friends-archeologists and this book helped me to appreciate this part of the world even more.
Another surprise is that Prof. Akurgal's book is not too huge: actually it can find place in any traveller's bag.

Akurgal's Book on Ancient Civilizations and Ruins of Turkey

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2000

Is a must have. A very organized encyclopedia of almost all the ruins in Anatolia. Including isolated altars and temples, small cities and of course the big capitals of the ancient anatolia.
If you have it with you and you are driving along the Aegean cost of Turkey with and if you love ancient settlements and constructions you will have a lot to see on the way!
