Esculapi of Empúries (Catalan Archaeological Museum) The return of the God http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phocaea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emporion Empúries, formerly known by its Spanish name Ampurias (Spanish pronunciation: [amˈpuɾjas]), was a town on the Mediterranean coast of the Catalan comarca of Alt Empordà in Catalonia, Spain. It was founded in 575 BC by Greek colonists from Phocaea with the name of Ἐμπόριον (Emporion, meaning "market", cf. emporion). It was later occupied by the Romans (Latin: EMPORIÆ), but in the Early Middle Ages, when its exposed coastal position left it open to marauders, the town was abandoned. The ruins are midway between the Costa Brava town of L'Escala and the tiny village of Sant Martí. There are good car parking facilities and the site may be reached by a traffic-free coastal walk from L'Escala.

In 600 BC, Greek settlers from Phocaea landed in the Lacydon, a rocky Mediterranean cove, now the site of the Old Port of Marseille. They set up a trading post or emporion in the hills on the northern shore. Until the nineteenth century the Old Port remained the centre of maritime activity in Marseille. In the Middle Ages the land at the far end of the port was used to cultivate hemp (or cannabis) for the local manufacture of rope for mariners, which is the origin of the name of the main thoroughfare of Marseille, the Canebière. The great St. Victor's Abbey was gradually built between the third and ninth centuries on the hills to the south of the Old Port, on the site of an Hellenic burial ground. Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, quays were constructed under Louis XII and Louis XIII and an important shipyard for galleons put in place. Following a revolt against their governor by the citizens of Marseille, Louis XIV ordered the erection of the forts of St Jean and St Nicolas at the entrance to the harbour and established an arsenal and fleet in the Old Port itself. The notorious "arsenal des galères" was situated on the left side of the Old Port between the Cours Jean-Balard and the Cours Estienne-d'Orves: those condemned to be galley slaves in the royal war fleet were branded with the letters GAL. According to John Murray, in 1854 the Old Port had a capacity of between 1,000 and 1,200 ships. Roughly 18,000 merchant ships passed through the port each year, carrying about 20 million barrels worth of freight; this represented a quarter of the trade in Liverpool at the time. The 6 metre depth of the harbour, however, proved problematic for steamships later in the century; much deeper docks had to be constructed at La Joliette. Today the Old Port is used only as a marina and as a terminal for local boat trips. In World War II the Old Port was left in complete ruins. According to eye-witness accounts, in January 1943, the Nazis, aided by the French police, dynamited much of the historic old town and demolished the gigantic aerial ferry or "transbordeur", an engineering tour de force that had become a major landmark of Marseille, comparable to the Eiffel tower in Paris. This became known as the "Battle of Marseille". In 1948 Fernand Pouillon was put in charge of the reconstruction of the devastated old quarter.

Empúries (Catalan name; in Spanish: Ampurias) is a town on the Mediterranean coast of the Catalan comarca of Alt Empordà (Spain). It was founded in 575 BC by Greek colonists from Phocaea with the name of Εμπόριον (Emporion — "market"). It was later occupied by the Romans, but in the Early Middle Ages, when its exposed coastal position left it open to marauders, the town was abandoned. The ruins are midway between the Costa Brava town of L'Escala and the tiny village of Sant Martí. There are good car parking facilities and the site may be reached by a traffic-free coastal walk from L'Escala.//// Empuries: A Little History The earliest settlers at Empuries traded with the Etruscans, Phoenicians and the Greeks during the 7th century b.c. By the 6th century, Greek traders founded a first settlement called Palaia Polis and eventually created a new sector of city called the new town, or Nea Polis--and this is the Greek part of the site you'll see when you visit Empuries. the colony itself was called Emporion, which means market in Greek, and it certainly was. In 218 b.c. Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio showed up to block land access to Carthaginian troops on the occasion of the Second Punic war, and thus begun the Romanization of Spain. In the time of Augustus, the Greek and Roman cities became one under the Roman name Municipium Eporiae. As Girona, Barcelona and Tarragona rose in importance, Empuries fell, and in the second half of the 3rd century b.c. the Roman city and Neapolis were abandoned.

Appadiya gives you the complete list of Historic Events, Scientific Events, Birthday's of Great Personalities and past Sporting Events that gained prominence in History. The oldest traces of human life in what is now France date from approximately 1,800,000 years ago. Men were then confronted by a hard and variable climate, marked by several glacial eras which modified their framework of life and led them to a nomadic life of hunters-gatherers France counts a large number of decorated caves from the upper Paleolithic era, including one of the most famous and best preserved: Lascaux (Dordogne, approximately 18,000 BC). At the end of the Last glacial period (10,000 BC), the climate softened[19] and from approximately 7,000 BC, this part of Western Europe entered the Neolithic era and its inhabitants became sedentary. After a strong demographic and agricultural development between the 4th and 3rd millennia, metallurgy appeared at the end of the 3rd millennium, initially with the work of gold, copper and bronze, and later with iron. France counts numerous megalithic sites from the Neolithic period, including the exceptionally dense Carnac stones site (Morbihan, approximately 3,300 BC). In 600 BC, Ionian Greeks, originating from Phocaea, founded the colony of Massalia (present-day Marseille), on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, making it the oldest city of France.At the same time, some Gallic Celtic tribes penetrated some parts of the current territory of France, but this occupation spread in the rest of France only between the 5th and 3rd century BC. Gallic tribes before the Roman conquest (58 BC to 51 BC). Note that Southern Gaul was already under Roman control (yellow) in 59 BC. The Maison Carrée was a temple of the Gallo-Roman city of Nemausus (present-day Nîmes) and is one of the best preserved vestiges of the Roman Empire. The concept of Gaul emerged at that time; it corresponds to the territories of Celtic settlement ranging between the Rhine, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea. The borders of modern France are approximately the same as those of ancient Gaul, which was inhabited by Celtic Gauls. Gaul was then a prosperous country, of which the southernmost part was heavily subject to Greek and Roman influences. However, around 390 BC, the Gallic chieftain Brennus and his troops made their way to Italy through the Alps, defeated the Romans in the Battle of the Allia, and besieged and ransomed Rome. The Gallic invasion left Rome weakened and encouraged several subdued Italian tribes to rebel. One by one, over the course of the next 50 years, these tribes were defeated and brought back under Roman dominion. The Gauls continued to harass the region until 345 BC, when they entered into a formal peace treaty with Rome. But the Romans and the Gauls would maintain an adversarial relationship for the next several centuries and the Gauls would remain a threat in Italia.

Mediterranean Itinerary II. Μεσόγειος, Akdeniz, البحر الأبيض, Ilel Agrakal

Mediterranean Itinerary II. Μεσόγειος, Akdeniz, البحر الأبيض, Ilel Agrakal The Mediterranean has become once more the region of political turmoil, fratricidal strife, foreign involvement, and criminal war attacks undertaken by the alien political capitals Paris, London and Washington D.C. Following internal upheaval in Tunisia and Egypt, the Libyan insurgence was taken as a pretext by Paris, London and Washington D.C. for launching an undeclared war against the Libyan people now and other targets in the nearby future. When this hypocritical interest is demonstrated by the US, England and France, the diplomats of these countries have nothing to say about the ongoing genocide practiced by the criminal ''state'' of Israel against the Palestinian Nation. Fond of all Mediterranean peoples, cultures and landscapes, and fully sympathizing with the nations in turmoil, we (Markos, Stelios, Maria and I) deployed a team effort to come up with a series of itineraries across all Mediterranean coastlines and cultures in order to highlight the interconnectedness of the Mediterranean peoples. We all share a millennia long heritage which is common to all of us and -- at the same time -- alien to the Americans, the English, and the Northern French. We have here to remind every viewer that, long before cruelly bombarding Libyan civil populations, the Paris-based regime kept tyrannizing the oppressed nations of Brittany, Alsace, Bask Land (Euskadi), Catalonia, Corsica and Occitania. Take the French, English and US warplanes and navies out of the Mediterranean! Down with the racist ''state'' Israel! Liberation to Palestine! Μεσόγειος, Akdeniz, البحر الأبيض (Bahr al Abyad -- the White Sea), Mediterraneo, Ilel Agrakal, Sredozemno more, Deti Mesdhe, Mediterráneo, Mediterrani, Mediterrâneo, Méditerranée -- Mare Nostrum With the exception of the Turkish and the Arabic appellations that are absolutely synonymous, the name of the Mediterranean in Italian, Berberic (Tamazight), Croatian, Albanian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and French merely reflects the original concept of a sea at the middle of the Earth; this seems to have been first a Greek perception. For the Ancient Egyptians, the Mediterranean was the ''Great Green" sea, whereas the Assyrians and the Babylonians called it ''the Upper Sea''. The present -- second - video of the series covers the Sea of Marmara (Propontis), the Çanakkale Boğazı (Dardanelles), the Saros Gulf, the islands of Gökçeada (Imvros) and Bozcaada (Tenedos) and Turkey's western coast down to Izmir (Smyrna) and Ephesus (Efes). The Mediterranean Itinerary series will successively cover the coastlands of Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Malta, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece. We made a point of not including locations far from the coastline. With pictures and music, we can all feel closer to one another and to our common historical and cultural background, which has long been targeted by the Anglo-French Freemasonry, the US Zionists, and the colonial barbarism. The present video contains four songs: Aliki Vuyuklaki -- Arabacı (''Wheelbarrow'' -- from the movie Sıralardaki Heyecanlar which was the Turkish copy of Greece's most famous actress's earlier movie Htypokardia sto Thranio -- ''Heart beating in the High School'') Husnu Senlendirici & Trio Chios -- Kayikci (Kaixi -- ''Boatman'', an old Greek Constantinopolitan song with several verses in Turkish, interpreted by a great Turkish artist) Ibrahim Tatlises -- Akdeniz Akşamları (Mediterranean Evenings) On the occasion, we express our wishes for fast recovery of the great Turkish singer who was recently the victim of a terrorist attack. Burhan Cetinkaya -- Daglar, Daglar (Mountains, mountains) The pictures include amongst others the Princess Islands (Buyukada, Burgazada, Heybeliada, Kinaliada), Pendik, Gebze, Kocaeli, Karamursel, Yalova, Cinarcik, Armutlu, Gemlik, Mudanya, Silivri, Marmara Ereglisi, Tekirdag, Sarkoy, Bandirma, Yukari Yapici, Kestanelik, Ballipinar, Doganlar, Ocaklar, Zeytinli Ada, Tavsan Ada, Faflima Ada, Erdek, Lapseki (Lampsakos), Gelibolu (Callipoli), Eceabat, Canakkale (Dardanellia), Troy (Truva), Intepe, Gokceada (Imbros), Bozcaada (Tenedos), Saros gulf, Edremit, Pergamum (Bergama), Ayvalik, Foca (Phocaea), Izmir (Smyrna) and Ephesus (Efes).
