LycIa The Land Of Light

WELCOME TO SELLER PAYITAHT'S LIBRARY!!! Anatolia was never uninhabited, for every new arriving tribe would melt in their own crucible, give it shape, create a civilization on it, whereas these civilizations would pass through other countries or else influence them. For this reason, the artifacts and ancient cities seen in Anatolia were works created by these peoples, that is, the people of Anatolia. Again, we see that the Lycians made it as far as Egypt by sea in 1227 B.C. Thus, it is revealed just how much the Lycians had mastered the seas during these years. In addition, we know that the Lycians were allied with the Hittites in their fight against the Egyptians during the Kadesh War which took place in 1295 B.C. As a result of a series of consecutive and uninterrupted attacks from sea tribes, the Hittite State was destroyed in the 12th century B.C. and in its place, the Phrygian State was established in Central Anatolia, in the vicinity of modern day Eskişehir and Kütahya. It was once commonly believed that the Phrygians did not spread as far south as the Lycian region, but evidence refuting this belief was recently uncovered at the latest diggings near Elmah indicating that the Phrygians did spread out as far as the Lycian region.
