Pergamon (Turkey) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Pergamon in Turkey.
Near the Turkish west coast situated between Troy and Ephesos, and set in all its glory, is one of the most famous and well preserved ancient cities of this region, Pergamon. Above the fertile plains and city of Bergama, cliffs towering up to more than three hundred metres high were inhabited by the Aeolean Greeks eight centuries Before Christ. In the Hellenic era it was an ancient cosmopolitan city the traces of which are still discernable today. When Athens had lost its political supremacy in the second century B.C., Pergamon and Alexandria became the new rival powers of the ancient world. Their rulers also began to compete in both art and science, a fact that led to much progress. In 41 B.C. the largest collection of two hundred thousand pergaments was relocated to the Library of Alexandria as a wedding present from Marc Antony to Cleopatra, where it was later destroyed by fire. Pergamon is indeed a wonder of an age of wonder!

Wonder if anyone can answer this - on the video at 8:59, there's a stone tablet. What language is it written in? I can't enlarge the image. It sort of looks like Hebrew. Is that even possible?

[@MehmetEminOnur-xd6tt]

I am a citizen of Bergama and this place is about 500 meters from my home. The video mentions Asclepion while showing this place. But in fact this is not Asclepion. It is the Red Hall and the cylindrical building is the Basilica which was one of the seven earliest churches in the world. About yr question,yes the inscription on that tablet may be Hebrew because Jews also lived in Bergama,and this place is next to the Jewish quarter of the town.

You tell Asclepion medical center but show the Red Basilica.

Nice video. But Zeus Altar is not one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

ONLY SAD. PARTS OF GLORIUS ANCIENT GREECE BELONG TO ANOTHER COUNTRY NOW .A BARBARIAN COUNTRY

[@JustSayitforGodSake]

@@ΕλένηΙορδανίδου-ι6ε Hellens took it of Persians, Romans took it of you and Turks took it of Eastern Romans (aka Byzantion). So that’s how it goes. Get over it. You can come and visit though. :)) check the opening hours

[@ΕλένηΙορδανίδου-ι6ε]

@@JustSayitforGodSake I agree with what you say but those cities are from ancient Greece. The ruins have greek words on them.Go to see ancient Ephesus, ancient Pergamus etc(we don't talk about Persepolis)

[@edmonddantes5104]

Yea the ancient greek culture is amazing but when they became orthodox christian who cares they took the marbles to build churches and for their homes...if Germans didnt take it to Berlin then Turks use it for building their homes and mosques maybe God save Greek culture this way

@@ΕλένηΙορδανίδου-ι6ε as you Said ancient Greece. We are not barbarian. We didn't change the language and religion of local People. The time is changing, everything is changing for us also...

Appreciate this video. However, Pergamon did not have a Temple of Zeus. The so called “Alter of Zeus” is a contemporary name for it. This was not its actual name. This alter rested beneath the feet of the Temple of Athena. Zeus and his daughter Athena are among the prominent figures carved into this alter along with all the other Panhellenic gods. To say Jesus called Pergamon the throne of Satan because of this alter is total conjecture. This is the verse you base this conjecture from: “I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.” Rev.2:13 BSB. An alter is not a throne. Jesus calls Satan a deceiver, slanderer, accuser of the believers, and a murderer. If we read this verse in the context of the letter it’s for more likely Jesus is calling the The Church of Pergamon the place where Satan dwells because they are tolerating the teachings of Nicolaitans within their community. The Nicolaitans were spiritually marrying Christ’s teachings with the Greek false gods and emperor worship in order to avoid persecution. This is what got Antipas killed. He refused to accommodate the Nicolaitans. They probably outed him to the local authorities in order to save themselves. In this way they were the accusers (Satan is the accuser) of Antipas. They acted on God’s behalf and caused his death. This is the throne upon which the Accuser sits. A throne of accusation, slander, and murder. This throne and Satan’s dwelling can exist anywhere and in any rebellious church, not just Pergamon.

We have nothing to do with it

Pergamon was a hellinistic metropool. Belongs not to the Turkish cultural inheritance. The temple of Zeus stood on a hill, a magnificent citadel. The complete temple has been moved, and rebuild in Berlin. Yes, the best archaeological parts stands in Germany ! So....
