A new travelogue – the massive city of Perga in Asia Minor

Turkey
My latest travelogue – the massive city of Perga, in ancient Pamphylia, near the modern city of Antalya.
I am trying to finish the Turkey section as quickly as possible as I have much more work to do, but these travelogues are so time consuming and often take weeks to complete. That might seem a little over-the-top, or perhaps I am just lazy, but trust me when I say I can spend hours on one minor detail, just to ensure one sentence is correct on the tag on one of the photos that no one is actually likely to read anyway!
That happens because the sources I use are notoriously unreliable and cross-referencing is required many times over. Most of these sites in Turkey have only been excavated to a small percentage, so the historical accounts and scientific data are often missing.
I am very particular about getting the facts correct. I guess it’s the perfectionist in me. It’s only a shame I am so far from perfection in reality! But, I shall prevail…
I hope you enjoy this latest effort. 🙂
