Bird Houses

Very cute bird houses in old ottoman mosques.
I think that, these little houses show people how ottoman civilisation was developped.

In our modern world, we don't even think about humans life, but at these times, they thought birds life.

Modern Miniatures

These paints are called Minyatur, the painter is dead before two months ago (Nusret Colpan). You can see some of his works at this site.

Istanbul and Holy Grail

There is some people who says Holy Grail is in Istanbul.
Below is the story which they say:


Constantine has erected a huge building in the area called Forum Constantine. Today it is called Cemberlitas. The pieces of the tower was brought from Rome pagan temple Apollon. The statute on top of column was originally Apollon, he replaced it with his statue.

Recent inspections with geo-radar device revealed that there is a room approximately 1X2 meters in the huge stone mass that holds the tower. It is believed the mother of emperor; Helen placed the relics herself into the cell.

According to the historians papers written in 300-400 AD. Constantine sent his mother Helen to Jerusalem in 324 AD. He made open the ossuary believed to belong to Jesus (rad). Along with Jesus' belongings, they took away relics from Jerusalem: holy soil, original cross parts, holy nails, holy grail, holy bread crumb, Holy stone believed to belong to Moses (rad), Holy stick believed to belong to Lut (rad), Holy ax believed to belong to Noah (rad), Holy stone believed to belong to Moses (rad), 7 arm Holy chandelier believed to belong to Solomon (rad).
Constantine has conquered and demolished Rome empire in 325 AD. A Pagan temple Apollon was dismantled to be re-erected in Istanbul.

Vatican has tried unsuccessfully in 1918 to dig out the reliquary.

What's happening in Turkey?

These days are very hot in my country. I hope that everything will be fine...

As a summary, I can say that all is about getting the power :o)
it is about army whose mission is to protect the regime, and government who is claimed to be against to regime.
We hear lots of conspiracy theories, like Contre-guerilla forces ("deep state"), which is founded by old army members for creating an environment to make fall the government.

Here is an article which explains the actual situation.

Reading List

Us congress: Especially, the comments of this article shall be read
