Friends and colleagues: Nowhere is the imprint of ancient human activity
more visibly evident than in the Aegean region of today’s Turkey.  You can
witness a remarkable series of well preserved, substantial, impressive, and
well documented ancient cities and buildings from the Classical world–and
the modern context in which they exist--in *The Aegean*, the latest video
feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, *The Archaeology Channel*(
http://www.archaeologychannel.org).



This documentary highlights the Aegean coastal region of Anatolia in today’s
southwestern Turkey.  Densely settled in Classical times, this region
featured some of the most important cities in the ancient world of the
eastern Mediterranean.  Among these are Ephesus, famous for the Library of
Celsus and the Temple of Hadrian; Pergamon, a very large city whose library
rivaled that of Alexandria; Miletus, one of the oldest ancient cities of the
region; and Helicarnassus, with its Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders of
the Ancient World.



This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  We
urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we
reach out to the world community.



Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
