Turkey: Ephesus, Sardis, Gordion, and Hatusa / R0014298

Photos by Chris Kostman, June, 2002: After a long haul on the highways and byways en route to Ankara, I spotted a road sign that said "Gordion." So I swung off the highway and checked out the capital of ancient Phrygia, former home of King Midas, the muffler repairman, I mean the man with the golden touch. Alexander cut the Gordion Knot here in 333 BC. Quite an historic site!
