Un paseo por la historia / A walk along History
If one image has remained in our retina after our trip to Turkey last June is the huge archaeological wealthiness of this country. We had been told about Efes being a great sample of ancient Greece, and we have agreed to it after our visit. We could also admire the remains of a great past splendour in Mileto, Prienne, Afrodisias...
The visit to these ancient cities made us feel members of the same civilization: the Mediterranean one, to which we belong as descendants of a saga of men and women worthy of our respect and admiration.
Beside those noble stones one feels both tiny and limited. And we realize that everything surrounding us in the present world is vane and trivial. We call progress to our easy and comfortable life, technological development, hasty living, the adquisition of goods and compulsive expenditure. Sometimes, looking back into the past makes us be aware of the real important timeless values and admire the astonishing beauty and majesty of wide straight avenues, imposing buildings on perfectly balanced columns and a great urban talent which diminishes nowadays architects and engineers to mere amateurs. And of course we cannot forget the perfect symbiosis of urban and natural landscape. How much can we still learn from the classic period!
Beauty, harmony and virtuosity, all in one, recall who we were and make us think of what we would like to be in the course of history. Let`s preserve this heritage for our descendants. Its our duty.
