Autumn Wars

Out of Eden Walk displayed 5 chapters of different visited places in the locations of Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Throughout this journey, there are a couple landmark points these travelers hit.

The 1st destination that I chose on this walk was Treasure Island. At this destination. It is located near Kellia, Cyprus. It is filled with many mountains and foothills. Over the whole scene hangs a peculiar light, a glaze of steel and lilac, which sharpens the contours and perspectives, and makes each vagrant goat, each isolated carob tree, stand out from the white earth as though seen through a stereoscope” (Byron. Robert). There are some of the oldest, earliest villages found here that were built many years ago. These were built by hunter-gatherers. They were built to have a modernized type look. The interior part of the Cyprus territory is known to be ghostly mountains.

Reconstructed Neolithic shelters at Choirokoitia. The first interiors had no corners.

The second destination on the walk I chose was “Ghost City”. This was located in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus. In this place, a fenced ““Green Line” separates northern and southern Cyprus. It is separated by a barbed-wire scar: a forgotten no-man’s-land, a fossil from an unresolved war that is out of place in today’s Europe. In 1974, Greek nationalists staged a coup in Cyprus. This provided Turkey reason to invade, to protect the ethnic Turkish population. Forty years later, the island remains partitioned. But many Cypriots—Greek and Turkish alike—dream of reunification” (Salopek, Paul). This location visited in the walk gives tourists a view of the lives people live in Cyprus. They talk about wanting to revive this Ghost City. Famagusta has been ringed by a 500-year-old wall of stone, built a long time ago. There are definitely some cool views and buildings to visit in this city in Cyprus.

The 3rd and final destination on this walk of Autumn Wars is “The Hinge”. This landmark is located in Kirit, Turkey. This area or viewpoint was covered in the oldest plowed fields in the Cilician Plain of southeastern Turkey. Out here, you will find many mules wandering about, and places to actually buy cargo mules. There are many villages through this city and farmers and fields where they grow vegetables. There is stone roads throughout this area that people can adventure on. So many fun attractions and things to see and adventure too. This would be a very cool trip spot to go too for someone who likes to explore new places. I found some of these facts and places pretty cool and interesting. This is definitely something different than New Jersey.
