At a museum in Iznik we found this pot. They used to bury their people in clay pots. This is a side view of Du looking at it. The top picture is from the top down. You can still see the skeletons inside. These are 1000's of years old.
These little washing stations are by every mosque. Sometimes they are connected to the mosque, but this one isn't. You can see the man inside washing up before entering the mosque.
I am sitting on some stones of the remnants of a Roman Ampitheatre. Way behind me you can see where the stadium seating used to be.
A beautiful hand painted monument to the Roman Times in Iznik.
If you look closely at the minerette, the designs are very intricately laid hand painted porcelin tiles. This city is world renowned for its hand painted intricate designs. I would love to get some of them to put on a tile wall somewhere.
This is the mosque they were washing to enter.
These two pictures are of a Christian Church that is said to have healing properties inside of it. When the Arabs came, they took over the church and converted it into a mosque. There are many of the historical beautiful christian church's that have come to this same fate.
