07 November 2021 –
Very recently (November 3, 2021) I wrote a very long article titled “Metaverse, Life 4.0” that draws attention to the future dangers of the subject.
(https://www.acapublishing.com/dosyalar/baski/LUMINOSOPHY_2021_5 64.pdf),which was at the top of the media in terms of reading rates and still retains its privileged placeFollowing its publication, the same day and the next day, some other publications published the article by adding their own comments and taking it to their websites.
(https://www.akademikakil.com/metaverse-yasam-4-0/ismailhakkiaydin/
), (https://www.5gvirusnews.com/technology/brainsiz-40-kuantik-cag-h707.html).
Then, the very next day (November 4, 2021), Mark Zuckerberg in the USA made statements about the “Metaverse”, which is considered to be this “virtual reality”. This “METAVERSE” incident, which is on the agenda of the world and will destroy the current “internet” and will bring its end, and which, in my opinion, was founded by Hasan Sabbah and first applied its “primitive, primitive form” to his bouncers, was covered in all the news as well as TV and other media organs. has been the subject of portals. Simultaneously, the archaeological excavations, the review of historical sources, the researches made in the scientific world and the results obtained were setting off the flares that humanity and life had evolved into another dimension.
The New World Order is built on “money and creativity”. When will human beings realize that morality, decency, honor, dignity, personality, dignity, compassion, true pleasure, genuine pleasure, spiritual peace, happiness, culture, art, literature, enlightenment and humanity are traits that money cannot and cannot buy. ! This is a very important issue. Again, I should remind you that; All scientific, cultural, social, environmental, vegetative, animal and personal information collected in the universe is being collected for “Metaverse” and “Matrix”! Adapting the obtained scientific data to technology and putting them on the market, everything from virtual glasses and headgear to virtual gloves, shoes, cloaks and clothes will be the “Metaverse” instruments that will still live the “Stone Age” in my opinion!
Thanks to the “Metaverse”, which offers a complex and alternative “parallel world” and which I think will create an addiction like drug addiction, especially in young people, it is also possible to dive into the watched movie and even take a role at that time, even though it will live its primitive period. In this system, where other systems are outdated, I think that even an identity will not be given to those who do not have an “Avatar”! In a sense, the “Metaverse” is limitlessness and it destroys the conscience and gives people the opportunity(!) to realize the desired dreams(!). Does it smell a bit of “COMPANY”?
From where we sit, Medicine by Avicenna, Hippocrates and Galen, Philosophy by Plato, Farabi, Metaphysics by Aristotle, Morals by Mevlana, Astronomy by Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Tesla It is possible for us to take Physics, Mathematics from Pascal, Laipniz, Philosophy from Spinoza, Radioatvite from Pierr and Mary Curi, Computer Language from Turing, etc. in a question-answer, interactive way! Take the course you want, from the teacher you want! You will be able to change the world where you live, without changing the country! Everything about life will also be found in the “Metaverse”, where generational conflicts are inevitable. Mosque, Church, Concert Hall, Theatre, Chat Rooms, Home, School, Lover, Spouse, Friend… This will happen very soon. However, there is also the “after” of the “Metaverse”…
Isn’t the main goal to play God? In some computer games, the player cannot pass to a higher level (level) without “prostrating” in front of the “idol”! Who would hear the footsteps of Satanism… A “religion” supported by global capital… A “New Cult Religion” with some Islam, some Christianity, some Judaism, some Buddhism, some Hinduism and a bit of Deism, and a monolingual, mono-religious and One state, one type of person is planned! For those who do not/cannot see this danger and disaster ahead, be it love!
Companies, Digital States and the Digital World, “Universal Basic Income”, Singularity (Technological Singularity), Brains that can be hacked, reset and reset, Lucifer (God of Light) and Nanobots, who seek to create their “Metaverse” in line with their own dreams, look at the history of science and humanity again. will require analyzing and rewriting. The job is done… Because the world is not a place to lie down! The Qur’an does not talk about “stray” things such as holidays, retirement, sleeping on one’s back, Eid and watching! Even though “Humanized Animals” are everywhere, “Animalized Humans” are on the way… It will require analyzing and rewriting (from scratch). The job is done… Because the world is not a place to lie down! The Qur’an does not talk about “stray” things such as holidays, retirement, sleeping on one’s back, Eid and watching! Even though “Humanized Animals” are everywhere, “Animalized Humans” are on the way…
Prion proteins, in which memory is stored, can pass to plants and then to humans through soil after death. This is why cemeteries are transferable memories! Transmission of memory will be possible by separating and transplanting prion memory proteins in the brain. In the light of this scientific data, it should not be forgotten that; The most important tool of bioterrorism is the “Prion Outbreak”. Who do we expect to take the action?
Was Neal Stephenson’s 1992 novel “Snow Crash”, which wanted to bring the Babylonian period to the present, become real and humanity and life continued to sleep? However, we cannot know anything outside of our mental world! For this reason, besides our brain and thinking, our mind and consciousness are one of our most important faculties that need to be developed, trained and taught. In my world of mind, I’m after losing myself first and then finding myself. As a matter of fact, it is not possible to be a scientist without a philosopher. Man is the “knowing” man, and humanity is awareness. A working person (Homo Fabere) is also a thinking person, although thinking is the function of the “brain” and producing is the function of the “hand”…
Every “Scientist” is a “Philosopher”, “Science” is a “religion” and a culture, and “Philosophy” is a set of different conceptions. Alphabet, money and freedom are essential for the emergence and evolution of philosophy. The opposite is bondage. Preferences determine a philosophical dimension and differences form the basis of society.
By the way, I want to talk a little bit about Mathematics. Because without Mathematics, nothing happens and we cannot understand something. The consciousness of the universe is a collective and universal, collective and mathematical consciousness, and its Philosophy is bounded by its horizon. The precision of mathematics is its own truth. Because Mathematics is the first to be created, it is seductive, it has a sensual side, it is not an invention, it is a discovery, and it is after what is right, not why it is right. Theoretical Physics is also Mathematics, which is the common mind for this. Physics seeks utility, Mathematics is truth, truth… Mathematical Logic is also very important. The world, even thought, needs to be mathematized! There is no other way to understand and explain the universe other than Mathematics. Science is a repeatable set of events and there is no “END” for science. unrepeatable events,It is the subject of metaphysics and is called “Miracle”. Therefore; “Moment”, “I” and “Being” can be metaphysics, not science. The existence of meaning depends on the existence of purpose. For this reason, we humans should seek to understand all these things rather than learning. Indeed, the human mind is vulnerable to uncertainty! It requires an effort to be “yourself”, not to be similar.
Along with all this, I have to express and remind that those who attempt to revive the “Sumerian Language and Religion” on a universal scale are unaware of the 119th Verse of the Nisa Surah of the Holy Quran, even though “God” is not the subject of science. Because the “Future is now”, everything is a “game”, there is no “END” for science, and “Humanity” is awareness about life and being aware! The greatest power is the “Collective Divine Spiritual Energy Power”.
Speaking of spirit; In the meantime, I wanted to mention the concepts of “Vegetable Spirit” based on reproduction, nutrition and growth, “Animal Spirit” with emotion and voluntary movement, and “Human Spirit” with speech, thinking and dignity. As a matter of fact, animals have voices and humans have words! Unfortunately, the person who does not understand the Qur’an, the world and life, is preparing the end of life himself by getting away from his nature! When will this human being, chasing death before he dies, realize that hopes are nourished by spirits, that the Earth is the place of purification from evil, and that the fabric of the Universe consists of vibration, and that life consists of “LOVE”! The unknowns are chasing each other…
Please, let’s meditate a little, let’s think about the survival and future of life, nature and generation, with our “Sign of Reason”… Let’s take a brief look at our recent past, if you wish. I would like to express in advance that I will make these considerations with a relatively “Socratic” thought and philosophy, so that my writings will be tried to be understood within this framework…
Don’t natural disasters, epidemics, earthquakes, fires etc. happen from time to time for various reasons? Who can object that the decisions of the “Cyber war and invasion” we are in come from the “Cloud”? Who can deny the “RF Bomb” and “Sepsis Epidemic”. “Sepsis” accounts for approximately 30% of deaths due to Kovit! Can’t Wi-Fi be used as a weapon? Doesn’t microwave damage all living and non-living matter by changing the frequency of the oxygen atom? Doesn’t electromagnetic pollution threaten life and nature, therefore the Earth, and even the Universe? Don’t ancient microbes pose a great threat to the possibility of uncontrollable epidemics as the glaciers melt? Don’t 70,000 Starlink low satellite systems occupy space? Trojans are trying to invade Earth… Why? Smart homes, systems, cities and more, even brains, are they really under our control or someone else’s? Can’t muscles and nerves be paralyzed or pressure applied to the heart by electromagnetic bombardment?
While we’re here, I want to talk a little bit about “Chemtrial”. It is also taught as a course in the US army. A course on the combustion and evaporation system of jet engines and topics that can be understood by reverse engineering… By the way, I have to say that Smart Dust (Smart Dust) and Nanotags (half human half computer) in millimetric or smaller sizes are everywhere and in everything. can happen. What we think and what we feel is recorded. Sensor clusters can be found in swarms in the air, and cooperated insects can roam everywhere. Biological ones aside, even weapons are now nano-sized… With behavioral control methods, brain-impressive nanoweapons are at work! In some plant specimens that have lost their vitality
What about Genetic Engineering? “Raven New” (New Raven Project) continues. Optogeneticists study DNA and RNA particles that make light. DNA is printed and synthesized. Why can’t the poisonous protein be produced over RNA? Each base pair has a unique vibrational frequency. This sound and frequency sequence and arrangement can be affected by the correct frequency of the light-transmitting resultant. It seems possible to produce/produce both light and poison! DNA bases work like a computer. It is possible to change the frequency sequence with the right light and sound frequency. As a matter of fact, this DNA, which also contains the decision-making mechanism, can also produce poison!
Nanobots are used in transhumanistic research from their constituent materials, photonic crystal strands and DNA-Porphyrin complex work for artificial light and can affect DNA bases. By means of Carbon Nanobots, it is possible to collect the light processed by DNA and direct it to the entire society in a readable “anger”. Why not create an angry society? It’s like defining anger in the system. As if we hadn’t seen their examples! Even ego and sexuality can be controlled. “Universal Basic Income” will now be determined for everyone by the fathers(!)
As in Morgellon’s (Parasite Delusion) Disease, red stem cells can be programmed to kill insects, and they are used in industrial agriculture, in the fight against insects, by simulating the DNA of the fly, by means of “lighting eyes”. What about humans… With the “Metaverse” and the Cyber World Order planned to be implemented in 2023, gas, electricity and power plants and distribution centers, banks, government offices, population and land registry records may be exposed to cyber attacks, and with “Cyber Terrorism”, chaos environment. may occur. Everything is being prepared for the “Metaverse” and the products are registered with Blockchain.
The mentality that wants to keep the human generation, nature, energy, climate and therefore food under control is that Allah punishes the transgressors with the climate and that the main reason for historical migrations is disasters and climate changes such as drought, thirst, flood, volcano, earthquake and floods. is aware and loves to manage everything from one hand (Singularity). As a matter of fact, verse 205 of Surat al-Bakar expresses this. In the new order, leasing rather than purchasing is prioritized rather than sharing economy.
Brains and data under control… The world will change! Biometric information, CRISPR Cas9, Codes, Biohacker, Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, everything… Now it is possible to cultivate anything, anywhere, anytime, besides treating and making patients with the CRISPR technique! Technology is inside people now! How beautiful it would be to be “free” as a “servant” if there were no “malicious, evil minds”… Let the Islamic world and humanity continue their sleep of heedlessness, let’s see how far!
There is no such thing as web 2.0, web 3.0 anymore! For me, “Metaverse”, which I consider a bit like defying God, is a higher version of web 3.0. In fact, I have to state in advance that there will be a “Post-Metaverse” realm. With the “Horizon Home” (Horizon Houses), the “Metaverse Period”, which will keep people away from the land and society, provide the opportunity to be involved in all kinds of activities, live, feel, communicate and enjoy with an endless appetite, and which will continue the “Stone Age” for now. In the near future, without the need for any equipment, tool or instrument, it will pass to a stage where the desired life can be lived as a fictional dream, with only brain power and dexterity of thought! As a matter of fact, dreams can be “edited” through studies conducted both at the University of Chicago and in Japan.
This thought and foresight emerged as a result of my scientific and scientific acquis, beyond my intuitions. Even if we are only one person like Lot or forty people like Moses, we should never compromise on “rights” and “truth” in the name of virtue, morality, honor and decency, and all our efforts should be to contribute to life and strive for the continuation of nature! Because the truth makes man “free” by making him a “servant”! As is customary, let’s end with some of our aphorisms and a song/ruba, which was composed and performed by Nihavend called “Past Months”.
The future is now…

- Psychiatry is the Literature of Medicine.
- To live at the mercy of another is not to live.
- Graphene, Dish Antenna!
- Morality, decency, honor, dignity, personality, dignity, compassion, pleasure, pleasure, peace, happiness, culture, art, literature, enlightenment and humanity are the traits that money cannot buy.
- The consciousness of the universe is a collective and universal consciousness!

- Our life is our death, our death is our resurrection!
- Education begins in the womb.
- A published work is worth more than the best unpublished research!
- Each case is an article.
- Before arguing beyond the limit, for those who are literate, it is only necessary to read what I wrote! It is enough for illiterate people to listen to and watch my conferences, lectures and TV programs.
- I’ve already forgiven you, Ungrateful! I have seen such betrayals that you have remained “nothing”!
- Tell the ignorant ignorant, look how the mind teaches you!
- Science is the name of being able to explain everything that happens.
- Wealth begins with being a slave to money.
- Every solved problem opens the door to another problem!

The city where I was born and grew up
We can see very well how beautiful our colorful Istanbul was even in black and white squares in those years. September 6-7, 1955 is a milestone for Istanbul because the city’s mosaic of minorities left for immigration, turning the intellectual structure into village life, and the megacity turned into another structure. That trouble continues. It has been the suicide of politicians and mayors of this country to allow zoning around the works of Mimar Sinan master for profit. The sold-out politicians who prevented Atatürk from reaching the level of advanced countries have engulfed this holy city. The city where I was born and grew up remained in your squares. Let the murderers take it and steal it..

Worlds of deep meaning and experiences that are loaded-stuck in a moment… Photographs that mean the absorption of time in space…After the World War II, the Soviet Union, the destruction caused by the war in Europe and America, and the serious decrease in the population and a biological-sociological-psychological reflex against it; and dense youth populations emerging all over the world in the USA and Europe; this is the generation of 1968…
In this section of history, humanity’s search for meaning and developments that take people’s minds are together.
On the other hand, in a way, the Second World War is the historical documentation of the bankruptcy of the main posts of the modern enlightenment. On the other hand, a metaphysical orientation will be towards Far Eastern Metaphysics. New Age currents of thought/lifestyles: Yoga, meditation, alternative medicine-holistic health, psychic experiences, intense interest in mystical teachings from various traditions, reincarnation, Extraterrestrial Intelligent beings-UFO, an eclectic doctrine and experiences, rather than an alternative sub- can be defined as culture. And from this side, it seems like a movement, a subculture, which has a tendency to universalization and universalization and pursues this goal, and serves the only world religion with this side.
It is in this socio-cultural climate that Flower Children emerges…
On the other hand, the President of France, General Charles de Gaulle, takes a stand against the USA, Britain and NATO. Afterwards, peaceful youth movements will turn into violent youth movements that started in France.
The reflection of flower children who are interested in Far Eastern metaphysics on Turkey will not be much; and, however, youth movements based on violence and youth movements that admire Che Guevara, influenced by the Chinese and Cuban revolutions, will rapidly evolve into terrorist terror, and youth movements-organizations based on violence will emerge.
In the axis of the right-left conflict, the whole society will feel intensely violence. Flowing from villages to cities, these people are confronted with the latest fashion trends of the modern world before they can even understand, live and assimilate the city more superficially, and experience the shock and shock of this.
Istanbul and Turkey are an open-air museum with a history of 12,000 years and a history dating back to mythological ages. People living together with this history, Romans, Lydians, Luwians, Trojans, Celts and other peoples who live and keep their heritage more or less consciously, mostly unconsciously, in photographs, in photographic frames that mean the absorption of time in space, in both time and space axis. tells everything.

On Levent Ağaoğlu’s photographs of 1975…
The photographs taken by Mr. Levent Ağaoğlu in the mid-1970s, which are the first stages of Istanbul’s transformation decades, not only witness the civic history of the city and the country, but also reveal very important and remarkable details. The tradition of street tradesmen and hawkers of a country where capitalism came and developed very late and still has not fully settled, reflects this situation in these black and white frames. The first example is the old man sitting on the ground in front of Eminönü Valide Sultan Mosque and selling bird food.
From here, we glide into another square on the same field, where we witness that even the street vendors of the time were waiting for customers with white aprons and perfectly shaved hair and beards. This is indisputable, as a direct indication of the higher morals of the era compared to today. Especially the male figures who managed to enter these precious frames, in Turkey, which has long become the fattest-obese society in Europe, not in its time, but in a significant part of the society, It proves to us that the overwhelming majority of young and middle-aged generations are extremely fit – balanced, healthy and robust in physical structure and appearance.
Mr. The inscription “One leader Demirel” on the concrete block above the Haşim İşcan Underpass, in which Ağaoğlu was posing in front of the then-fashionable Spanish-leg trousers and matte-glasses, evokes a right version of the ‘one way revolution’ slogan of the same years, as well as the team. such as leader and political party, etc. It draws attention as only one of the very typical projections of the folk tradition. In accordance with the tradition of shaving on the street, one of the Ottoman “traditions” that does not survive, the beard is shaved, the cobblestone of the street floor where the man sits in a chair; It is reflected in the lens as one of the characteristics of the years when the city’s natural and historical cobblestones and the insistence of erasing asphalt everywhere and the struggle to plunder prevailed in favor of the latter and did not penetrate every cell of the city yet.
Looking at the costumes of those chatting by the mosque fountain in another snapshot, which can be assumed to have been taken in the Fatih district, more than half a century after the proclamation of the republic, some things haven’t changed yet, even in the modern city of “Old Turkey”, as they do today. We are watching… Another cobbled street in Fatih… Children looking into the lens of the camera, who are probably in their sixties today, are cheerful, free and lively. In a word, they are enjoying the years when they were the real rulers of the streets…
But in another picture, this time other children; We see them as ordinary heroes of the unchanging and undesirable bad luck of this country, this geography, while working at the shoe shine benches… These are the years of the city, which did not flee or migrate to the “modern”, new concrete settlements of the city yet… This is the time when most of the blackened wooden mansions, where they can live happily, happily and proudly, are struggling to survive, in contrast to the “spirit of the time”…
Here is the look of an old Istanbul child looking out from one of those ancient houses with joyful eyes, like a scream that defies the years when the city started to be taken over by concrete-construction-looting and rent. The house, which is an exquisite example of civil architecture, with several floors of towers, suddenly appears in the streets of the historical city walls, which are covered with old masonry walls, which you can not even guess to which period, which period they belong to, and what purpose they were used for; It is just one of the monumental buildings that a society and country that has betrayed its construction and aesthetic traditions as well as its collective urban honor and dignity will remember when looking back as an example…
What lies before us are different images of a country and society that have become significantly secularized and despite everything and are truly developing: In the photo frame, where the “Valens Belt”, popularly known as Bozdoğan, is in the center, a single, modern-dressed man in calm motion on a cool winter day. We see all the Istanbulites in the wide frame completed by the American cars and Hungarian buses with curved roofs in the distance… “Nostalgia” is not just the name of a famous movie or an unchanging individual and collective mood among people and the masses, but it is the fate and misfortune of these lands.
Because, analogy to Marshall Bergman’s sentence “everything solid evaporates”, we can well say the following as a summary of these photographs: “Nothing stable stays in place”…

I was born in Fatih district of Istanbul that is the core of İstanbul and Fatih is the historical peninsula surrounded by castles totally from the Golden Horn and Marmara Sea around. All the famous districts are scattered in Fatih. The feelings you have in the Fatih area is very unique and special and if you’re in the area you feel that it is the center of the world, not only with the center of the world because the empires Roman empire after Constantin set up in 395 and Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1453 was all controlled from Fatih district of Istanbul.
It may have been much better to have a faunus covered on the sky of İstanbul to protect all the historical buildings of Fatih area where I was born is just near to the Fatih Mosque. In Turkish language there’s a saying and thought that while Fatih is a symbol for the earlier historical traditions, Harbiye earlier represents modernity.
In 1974 I bought a Russian Zorki camera for black-and-white photographs and started first from Fatih and then proceeded to Western historical antique locations in the Aegean region, because of my involvement with the touristic guide course. I started from the roads and streets of Fatih, the old town, 45 years ago and got the photos of ordinary people, elderly, youngsters, children and the historical buildings and the wooden buildings in that part of the city.
We may call Fatih as a city in the real sense. The oldest company in Turkey is Çemberlitaş Hamami in 1584. Fatih prouds with biggest church in the world. Saint Sophia is in Fatih. I lived all my childhood in Fatih. Living in Fatih area, your mentality is shaped with Fatih with the conqueror, over there your mentality is always with the people looking for the justice for the people and always to lead with the people, you cannot be alone and with the understanding you have developed in Fatih area is breathed in the air. His spirit makes a difference with the leadership in that area.
Constantinople started the New Rome in that area and the conqueror Fatih also started the new era in 15th century in that area. So here is the center of the world with one of the very first univesities in the world as well. also in Fatih the University as well.
These are straight black and white photographies and meaningful to show us the past of the historical Peninsula.
Maybe the individuals on the photographs, the elderly ones, may not be living now, so we can analyze the conditions of the time just after the war happened in Cyprus and Turkey started to be entering into street movements with guns which lead to the country to military coup in 12 September 1980. The photographs also reflect the property in the streets of İstanbul at the time though the buildings are very old and rich in history, the people are not that much. Here is the most conservative part of the İstanbul.
Following taking photographs of Fatih and downtown İstanbul, I moved to Western Turkey passing through Dardanel Straight snd visiting antique cities like Troy, Pergamon, Smyrna, Priene, Ephesus, Didyma, which are older than Istanbul clty, so taking the photos of these archaeological theaters and worship buildings.
Turkey is unique in the world with its richness of antiquity and cultures. Truva is the area where a great war happened between Greek invaders and Anatolians written in legend. Western Turkey is geography of first philosophers in the world before 500 BC where the famous philosophers have lived in this area, so we can say Turkey geography is the homeland of philosophers starting with the Miletos philosophers.
Roman and Ottoman Turkish armies started their military advancement journies all from Fatih District. Mesa Avenue of Roman Empire and Topkapi Palace of Ottoman Empire well all effective in these advancements.
Istanbul was symboled by royal signature of Fatih as with the mission of “Always”.
Street Vendors and chidren, teenagers are the common instances of Fatih streets.
Photography 1975
The photographs I took half a century ago in Istanbul Fatih, on the historical peninsula and in ancient cities such as Troy, Bergama, Ephesus, Didim, in the Aegean, shed light on our day. The permanence of ancient cities, which have not changed for thousands of years, clad in silence and solitude, and the sharp and striking change in the time period of 50 years in the city of Istanbul, occur together before our eyes and extend to us from the beginning years of the 21st century. The ancient cities we visited on the Aegean coast were living their heyday when Istanbul was not yet in the middle.
Despite the magnificence of Istanbul’s historical buildings, the poverty and deprivation observed in the 1975 photographs raise questions about whether human welfare or magnificent stone structures are permanent. The ruined historical wooden structures seen in the photographs were quickly destroyed and left their places to reinforced concrete structures. The apartment building fashion, which started in the mid-1950s, has rapidly changed the face of the city in 20 years.
I have been trying to convey the world reflected by the photographs and our impressions with subtitles.
In terms of political history, 1975 is the interim period between the coup d’etat of March 12, 1971 and the coup of September 12, 1980. The country conditions of a period between military coups have been brought to light with photographs.
After the shooting of the photos, I took photos, shared videos and published them as videos under the title of Teavller’s Talks during my business trips to 32 countries in 32 years in the export sector, in which I was involved by chance in a time period approaching ten years. This time it was the outside world that was in question, and I plan to publish these photos as a book again. This is the result of the spirit of Fatih, regarding the world view, the unity of people, that I acquired in the Fatih district of Istanbul.
Identity and Spirit: FATİH
The Fatih district of Istanbul is a collar embellished not only by the name but also by the spirit of its founder. The heartland of the Qur’an is Surah Fatiha, and the Fatih of Istanbul.
The most important feature of Fatih is that he was the first and last sultan to give such importance to the book and the library. He invited the people of science and opinion to Istanbul and thus placed the immortal power of the idea at the center of the administration. The names of these intellectuals are kept alive in the streets, avenues and neighborhoods of Fatih.
Fatih is the symbol of the immortal union of the idea and the soul. The Conqueror is the idea and the spirit.
Fatih district is a holy land that breathes the souls of the Fatihs who were martyred in 857 (Gregorian 1453) and buried where they were martyred.
The name of Dar’ül Funun should be started to be kept alive with Fatih Madrasa, which are the Science and Teology institutions that Fatih was the founder of.
The Süleymaniye Library, located in the Süleymaniye Mosque Complex of Kanuni, one of the grandchildren of Fatih, is the world’s largest library of manuscripts.
The capital of the world is the precious city of Istanbul, and the center of Istanbul is Fatih.
Scholars and intellectuals who grew up in Fatih have maintained the longest-lasting empire in the world on three continents with the power of their ideas.
The duty of the sons of Fatih the Conqueror is to be the seal of the conquests of ideas by reviving the same intellectual mission with a transcendent vision in the 21st century, and to spread it to the world by raising thousands of pioneering intellectuals; To keep Fatih the Conqueror alive.
Conqueror; Being assertive means keeping and living the spirit of Fatih. That spirit will live on forever in the lines of the National Anthem of Mehmet Akif from Akşemsettin neighborhood.
The Walled City of Istanbul is called Fatih. In fact, the district that developed around Fatih Mosque reflects the spirit of the Turks. Like Bilge Tonyukuk, Fatih’s life was spent on expeditions, either on the Adriatic coast or on the north and south of the Black Sea coast. The leadership dynamism revealed by these expeditions permeated the capillaries of the state and society.
This mood is most felt in Fatih district. How did 72 warships take a U-shaped route by land from the shores of the Bosphorus and land them on the shores of the estuary? This is the most concrete proof of how the impossible is turned into an opportunity.
Being a grandson from Rumelia, his mother from Macedonia Skopje, and his father from Bulgaria Plovdiv, having settled in Mutemet Street at the foot of Fatih Mosque, having spent his childhood there (I was on Mutemet Street until the age of seven, personality is formed in a child until the age of seven), this is me. It has been an important chance and opportunity that has shaped my whole life.
My childhood was spent in Mutemet Street between 1958 and 1965, until I was seven years old, then we moved to Vatan Apartment on Akşemsettin Street opposite the Ali Emiri Cultural Center (then it was a truck garden at the time). Fatih is my identity.
. Conqueror is Leadership. Two anecdotes are very meaningful after the Conquest of Istanbul. First, Fatih is curious, trying to find the body of the Byzantine Emperor who died in the war. The emperor fights like a soldier by taking off his clothes, and shows heroism, whereupon Fatih says, “Find the body of the Byzantine emperor”, the emperor is identified from his socks.
Later, Fatih had the heirs of the empire brought the cadres to the administration, and today the Murat Pasha Mosque in Aksaray is a mosque built by the heir of the Byzantine Empire and a convert to Islam. Later, another heir, Messiah Pasha, also serves as the grand vizier.
In addition, he has the heroes who died during the capture of the city in 857 with the Hijri calendar and 1453 with the Gregorian calendar, have their bodies built in the place where their bodies are found and orders them to be buried where they are. The leadership that manifests itself in these anecdotes is a leadership adorned with self-confidence, and this leadership ensured that the empire was in the capital for a very long time, like 600 years.
The cities of the Turks are intertwined with cemeteries, they have dead ends, they are lived with animals. Fatih entered Istanbul with the dogs. Animals are not at home, but on the streets. These phenomena are absent in Western cities and Arab cities. People and animals live together on the streets in this country. In this country, people are not separated by color, colors are only descriptive for geography; It is the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the Blue Danube, the Gökçe Sea (Caspian sea).
“Turkish cities have lost the concept of “cities with animals” with Ibn Khaldunian sociology. Turks should return to the vision of a city based on the views of Al-Farabi.” Lütfi Bergen @BergenLutfi
“Turkey is a love-born country that accepts and values living things as they are, without discrimination. The term Anaç and Dolu fits perfectly. Tribes and religions are clumps of land and its inhabitants deserve much more than the imperial world.” Danyal Hergünsel
In my poem Bazar, I tried to reflect the spirit of Fatih, the spirit of Fatih district, by going over the Wednesday market, which is the largest public market in Turkey, which is an open and huge market.

383 Güleryüzlü, Tuna nehrinden gözlerinin rengini almış dünya tatlısı bir teyze ve yeğeni. Mahallesinin muhtarı ruhu ile komşularına, kardeşlerine yardımsever bir abla. Ordu Caddesi Laleli’den Millet Caddesi Fındıkzade’ye uzanan bir hayat çizgisi. Fotoğraf çekildikten 2 yıl sonra büyük evladını kaybetmenin acısı ile süregiden bir kader çizgisi. Teyze ve yeğeni.

IMAGES OF HISTORICAL AEGEAN ANTIQUITIES OF TURKEY
159 Arkada Selçuk Kalesi. Bazilika. Zamana meydan okuyan taşlar, mermerler. Sütunlar arası kemerler. Yerlerde kırık mermer sütunlar. Bir şaheserden geride kalanlar. Kararmış beyaz taşlar. Selçuk Bazilika Nisan 1975
159 Selcuk Castle Behind. Basilica. Time-defying stones and marbles. Arches between columns. Broken marble pillars on the ground. Remnants of a masterpiece. Blackened white stones. Selçuk Basilica, April 1975
160 Tepede kalenin koruyucu burçları düzlükte asarı antikanın taşıyıcı kemer ve sütunları. Turistlerin meraklı bakışları. Selçuklu imparatorluğu, Ege kıyılarına kadar gelmiş adını bir ilçeye ve kaleye vermiş. Kıyıları gibi girintili çıkıntılı zengin bir geçmişi var Ege’nin, kat kat üstüne. Ortaklaşa bir medeniyetin zenginliği. Altı Efes üstü Selçuk. Kartalların birlikteliği. Selçuk Bazilika Nisan 1975. İzmir Gezisi
160 On the hill, the protective bastions of the castle hang on the plain, the carrier arch and columns of the antique. Curious eyes of tourists. The Seljuk empire arrived at the Aegean coast and gave its name to a town and castle. Like its shores, the Aegean has a rich and intricate past, layer upon layer. The wealth of a collective civilization. Underneath is Ephesus and on the ground is Selcuk. The union of eagles. Selcuk Basilica April 1975 Izmir Trip
161 Bereket Tanrıçası Artemis ile. Selçuk müzesinde. Nasıl oldu da götürülmemiş, yerinde kalmış. Tanrıça Kibele’den buyana coğrafyanın bereketi, insanlarının derin inançları. New York Hürriyet heykelinden çok daha anlamlı değil mi. Şairin dilinden “Havva Ana’nın dünkü çocuk” sayıldığı topraklar New (Yeni) değil, en eskidir. Heykeli düşünen zihinler, yontan bezeyen eller; hep Türkiye coğrafyası. Efes Müzesi. Artemis Nisan 1975
161 With Artemis, Goddess of Fertility. In Selcuk museum. How come it was not stolen, it remained in her own ground. The fertility of the geography since the goddess Cybele, the deep beliefs of its people. Isn’t it much more meaningful than the New York Liberty statue? In the poet’s language, the land where “Mother Eve is yesterday’s child” is not with adjective New, but the oldest. Minds that contemplate the statue, hands that carve it; always Turkey geography. Ephesus Museum Artemis April 1975
162 Efes Limanına giden antik yol. Mermerin ihtişam ve zamana direnen kalıcılığı. Karşıda gördüğümüz tepeler kimbilir eskiden denizdi. Sütunların üzerleri heykeller ile bezenmişti. Bu fotoğraf ile zaman tüneline girmiş gibiyiz. Yosun tutan mermerler aksine zamanı durdurmamış, bugünlere ulaşmamış. Tarihteki en büyük antik limanlardan birinin yolunu seyrediyoruz. Kimbilir hangi mallar ve insanlar taşındı bu limandan, şaraplar, amforalar, zeytinler, zeytinyağlar. Efes Tiyatrosuna gelen giden seyirciler. Efes Yolu Nisan 1975
162 The ancient road to Ephesus Harbor. The splendor and time-resisting permanence of marble. Who knows, the hills we see in front of us used to be the sea. The tops of the columns were adorned with statues. We seem to have entered a time warp with this photo. On the contrary, the mossy marbles did not stop time and did not reach today. We are cruising the path of one of the greatest ancient ports in history. Who knows what goods and people were transported from this port, wines, amphorae, olives, olive oil. Audiences coming and going to Ephesus Theatre. Ephesus Road April 1975
163 Ashtrays and salt shakers on the plain restaurant table, in front of it is the Didim Apollon Temple, a world masterpiece. 22 km away from Miletus, Capital of Philosophy of the World. The juxtaposition of philosophy and faith. Marble pillars rising to the sky by being cut into circles, twin marble pillars with grooves. Elder tourist took care of the best instance by crossing his legs with the camera team. Didim Temple Apollon Cult Izmir Trip April 1975
163 Sade lokanta masasında kül tablaları, tuzluklar, önünde ise bir dünya şaheseri Didim Apollon Tapınağı. 22 km ötesinde Dünya Felsefe Başkenti Milet. Felsefe ve inancın yanyanalığı. Halka halka kesilerek göğe yükselen mermer sütunlar, yivli ikiz mermer sütunlar. Turist amca kamera takımı ile bacaklarını çapraz yaparak pür dikkat kesilmiş. Didim Tapınağı Apollon Kültü İzmir Gezisi Nisan 1975
164 Tapınağın ana toplanma yeri. Geride kalan ana sütunlar, sütun kökleri. Her yan sütunmuş demek. Ne adaklar adandı kimbilir Tanrıça Apollon’a. Çatısı ahşap ile örtülü imiş. Henüz kubbe teknolojisi yok ortada. Komşu şehir Milet’li iki usta mimar ise 1200 yıl sonra İstanbul’da Ayasofya Kilise mabedini bu sefer kubbeli olarak inşa edeceklerdi. Didim Tapınağı Apollon Kültü İzmir Gezisi Nisan 1975
164 The main gathering place of the temple. The remaining main columns, column roots. Each side is full of pillars. Who knows what sacrifices were made to the Goddess Apollo. Its roof is covered with wood. There is no dome technology yet. Two master architects from the neighboring city of Miletus were going to build the Hagia Sophia Church temple in Istanbul 1200 years later, this time with a dome. Didim Temple Apollon Cult Izmir Trip April 1975
165 A sad double-domed mosque, which was built by Aydınoğlu İsa Bey in 1375 by Architect Şamlı Ali, on the slope of the plain, later abandoned to solitude, and its minaret was destroyed. It shared the same fate with the ruins of Ephesus. Alluvial fertile plains around, mowed lands, majestic poplar trees. Isa Bey Mosque Selcuk April 1975 Izmir
165 Aydınoğlu İsa bey tarafından 1375 yılında Mimar Şamlı Ali’ye yaptırılmış çift kubbeli, ovanın yamacında, sonradan yalnızlığa terkedilmiş, minaresi yıkıma uğramış mahzun bir cami. Efes harabeleri ile aynı kaderi paylaşmış. Etrafta alüvyon bereketli ovada ekilen biçilen topraklar, heybetli kavak ağaçları. İsa Bey Camii Selçuk Nisan 1975 İzmir
166 Considered one of the most important figures of Christianity, St. John (St. Jean) is one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. Also known as St. John’s, St. The basilica built on the tomb of John is one of the most important witnesses of the early Christian period. A 17-year-old Turkish teenager watches the future in front of the ruins of a 2000-year-old church. The rich treasures of the past will also illuminate the future. Selcuk Basilica Izmir April 1975
166 Hristiyanlığın en önemli figürlerinden biri sayılan St. John (St. Jean) Hz.İsa’nın 12 havarisinden biri. Aziz Yahya olarak da bilinen St. John’un mezarı üstüne inşa esilen bazilika ise erken hristiyanlık döneminin en önemli tanıklarından. 2000 yıllık bir kilisenin kalıntıları önünde 17 yaşında bir Türk genci ufuklardaki geleceği gözlüyor. Geçmişin zengin hazineleri geleceğini de aydınlatacak. Selçuk Bazilika İzmir Nisan 1975
167 Kalın gövdeli devasa tapınak sütunlarının kök dipleri ayakta kalarak günümüze kadar uzanmış. Zaman tünelinin giriş kapısıdır sanki. Ayinler, adaklar, ilahilerin sesleri hep mermer merdivenlerden çıkılan kapının girişinde kalmışlar. Mısır piramitlerinde üstüste konulan taşların aksine burada gözetilen hep mermer üzerinde ince bir estetik. Didim Tapınağı İzmir Nisan 1975
167 The root bases of the huge, thick-bodied temple columns have survived to the present day. It’s like a doorway to a time tunnel. The sounds of rites, offerings and hymns remained at the entrance of the door, which is reached by marble stairs. Contrary to the stones placed on top of each other in the Egyptian pyramids, what is observed here is always a subtle aesthetic on marble. Didim Temple Izmir April 1975
168 I wonder which meanings were being carried out by herringbone decorations, huge columns, marbles. A magnificent temple from the treasury of Turkey, the land of people who have refined their souls with their beliefs. Cut stones. The troubles of the people of the time, their search for a cure, their dreams, their sorrow, their gloom, showed themselves as lines, ripples and crevices on the stones of the temple. Didim Temple Friday 25 April 1975 Izmir
168 Ne anlamlar taşımaktaydı acaba balıksırtı süslemeler, devasa sütunlar, mermerler. İnançları ile ruhlarını inceltmiş insanların ülkesi Türkiye hazinesinden görkemli bir tapınak. Kesme kesme taşlar. Zamane insanlarının dertleri, derman arayışları, hayalleri, gam, kasavetleri, tapınağın taşlarında çizgiler, dalgalanmalar, yarıklar olarak kendini göstermiş. Didim Tapınağı 25 Nisan 1975, Cuma. İzmir
169 Üç yivli sütun ancak kökleri ile ayakta kalabilmiş iken, halka halka sütun dimdik ayakta. 2700 yıllık açık hava müzesi. Tipik bir Türkiye manzarası. Yivli mermer sütunların diplerindeki halkalar da bezemelerle işlenmiş. “Mermere kuvvet mi dayanır” diye düşünüyor insan ama dayanmış. Yurdumun insanının binlerce yıldır süregelen kesintisiz mücadele gücü ve azmi. Otların arkasına saklanmış mermerden, taştan bir mücevher. Yazılarını granit taşlara nakşede nakşede İpekyollarından Ege kıyılarına ulaşan GökTürklerin alışık oldukları, yabancılamadıkları ilahi bir manzara. Didim Apollon Tapınağı İzmir Gezisi Nisan 1975
169 While the three fluted columns could only survive with their roots, the ring-ring column stands upright. 2700 years old open air museum. A typical Turkey landscape. The rings at the bottom of the grooved marble columns are also decorated with ornaments. One thinks, “Is the marble strong enough to withstand?” The uninterrupted struggle and determination of the people of my country for thousands of years. A jewel of marble stone, hidden behind the grass. Engraving their writings on granite stones, it is a divine sight that the Göktürks, who reached the Aegean coasts from the Silk Roads, were accustomed to and not alienated. Didim Temple Apollon Cult Izmir Trip April 1975
170 Göğe uzanan bu sütunu nasıl da alımlı bir Tanrı, Tanrıça heykeli süslüyordu kimbilir? Didim Tapınağı İzmir Gezisi Nisan 1975
170 Who knows how an attractive God, Goddess statue adorned this column reaching to the sky? Didim Temple Izmir Trip April 1975
171 Rehberlik turundaki genç kursiyerler Akçay’da çay molasında. Bıyıklar daha terlememiş. Farklı yörelerden gelmiş olmanın zenginliği ve çeşitliliği yüzlere yansımış. Genler ve gençlerin ülkesi Türkiye. Tipik bir Türk tarzı çay bahçesi. İnce belli üfleme tipi Paşabahçe markalı çay bardakları. Ahşap masa ve sandalyeler. Masada illa ki örtü olacak. Çaylar içilmiş, belki de tazelenir. Arkalarda kravatlı ceket takımlı bir genç. Akçay Çay Molası Nisan 1975
171 The young trainees of the guided tour are at a tea break in Akçay. The mustaches haven’t sweated yet. The richness and diversity of coming from different regions is reflected on the faces. Turkey is the land of genes and youth. A typical Turkish style tea garden. Thin waisted blown type Paşabahçe branded tea glasses. Wooden table and chairs. There will be a cover on the table. The teas have been drunk, perhaps refreshed. In the back is a young man in a jacket suit with a tie. Akcay Tea Break April 1975
172 Truva Örenyeri girişindeki tahtadan Truva Atı. Halatlarla yere sabitlenmiş. Gövdesinde içine giriş pencereleri yapılmış. Kimbilir kullanılmaya devam ediyor mu acaba? Daha sonra 2000’li yıllarda çekilen Truva Filminde estetik stilize edilmiş ahşap bir model kullanılacak. Giriş binası duvarında Helen, Paris, Homer yazıları ve Homer figürü. Kilim örnekleri ve kartpostallar. İzmir Gezisi Çanakkale 23 Nisan 1975 Çarşamba Tahta Truva Atı
172 Wooden Trojan Horse at the entrance to the Archaeological Site of Troy. Fixed to the ground with ropes. Entrance windows have been made in its body. Who knows if it continues to be used? Later, an aesthetically stylized wooden model will be used in the Trojan Movie shot in the 2000s. Helen, Paris, Homer writings and Homer figure on the wall of the entrance building. Rug samples and postcards. Izmir Trip Canakkale 23 April 1975 Wednesday Wooden Trojan Horse
173 Modern tıbbın ve eczacılığın merkezi olan antik çağların en büyük sağlık yurdu olan Bergama Asklepionu. MÖ 4.yüzyıldan MS 4. yüzyıla kadar 800 yıl boyunca şifa dağıtmış. Yivli mermer sütunları günümüze kadar ulaşmış. Bergama Asklepion İzmir Nisan 1975
173 Pergamon Asklepion, the center of modern medicine and pharmacy, and the largest health home of ancient times. Pergamon healed for 800 years, from the 4th century BC to the 4th century AD. Its grooved marble columns have survived to the present day. Bergama Asklepion Izmir April 1975
174 Genç rehber adayları Bergama Asklepionu’nda. Ülkenin hazinelerinin keşif yolculuğunun keyifi yüzlerden okunuyor. Hatıralar kare kare birikiyor. Mermer ve taşların hazineye dönüştüğü bereketli topraklar. Taşdaki bilgelikler. Asya’nın balballarından, Küçük Asya’nın kıvırcık saçlı beyaz mermer heykellerine yolculuk. Bergama Asklepion Cumartesi, 26 Nisan 1975
174 Young guide candidates are at the Bergama Asklepion. The joy of the discovery journey of the country’s treasures can be seen on the faces. Memories pile up frame by frame. Fertile lands where marble and stones turn into treasure. Wisdom in stone. Journey from the balbals of Asia to the curly-haired white marble statues of Asia Minor. Bergama Asklepion Saturday, April 26,1975
175 Scramle of the waves crashing on the rocks interspersed with the sea for highway construction at the foot of the coastal walls. Lonely people walking on the beach. The building on the far right ahead is the Haydarpaşa Train Station, and the buildings on the left are the Haydarpaşa harbor silos. Landscapes stretching from the shores of Europe to the shores of Asia. Continents meeting coast to coast. Eurasia. The Train Station is no longer in use, the coastal road built in the mid-1950s and the sea connection of the walls has disappeared. Sarayburnu January 24, 1975 By the Sea
175 Sahil surlarının dibinde karayolu yapımı için denize serpiştirilmiş kayalara çarpan dalgaların hercümerci. Sahilde yürüyen tektük insanlar. İlerde en sağdaki bina Haydarpaşa Tren Garı, sol taraftaki binalar ise Haydarpaşa limanı siloları. Avrupa kıyılarından Asya kıyılarına uzanan manzaralar. Kıyıdan kıyıdan buluşan kıtalar. Avrasya. Tren Garı artık kullanılmıyor, 1950’li yılların ortalarında inşa edilen sahil yolu ile surların deniz bağlantısı ortadan kalkmış. Sarayburnu 24 Ocak 1975 Cuma. Deniz Kenarı
177 Castle bottom coastal road in front of the boat shooting locations, a wooden mansion behind and a ruined view from the city walls. The priceless images that bring the ancient times to the present. Timeless beauty. People walking alone. A worried and thoughtful young man preparing for university exams, with a tag with his name on his wrist. Sarayburnu, 24 January 1975 Friday, By the Sea
177 Surdibi sahilyolunun önünde kayık çekim yerleri, arkada ahşap bir konak ve surlardan yıkık dökük bir manzaralar. Eski zamanları günümüze taşıyan görüntülerin paha biçilemezliği. Eskimeyen güzellik. Tektük yürüyen insanlar. Üniversite sınavlarına hazırlanan kaygılı ve düşünceli bir genç, bileğinde isminin yazılı olduğu künyesi ile. Sarayburnu 24 Ocak 1975 Deniz Kenarı
178 Truva harabelerinin içindeyiz. Yürüdüğümüz çalılıkların altında kat kat Hititlere kadar yerleşme tabakalarının olduğunun farkında mıyız. Çanakkale boğazının kenarındaki Truva’dan kimler geldi kimler geçti. İlk önce batıdan Yunan anakarasından gelen Akalar saldırdı, tüm Anadolu halkları birleşti. En son gene batıdan en modern ve heybetli savaş gemileri ile gelenlere karşı tüm Anadolu, Rumeli birleşti, denizin dibini boyladılar. Göze görünen taş duvarların niceleri yer altında kazılarak gün yüzüne çıkarılmayı bekliyor. 23 Nisan 1975. Çarşamba.
178 We are in the ruins of Troy. Are we aware that under the bushes we walk, there are layers of settlement up to the Hittites. Who came and who passed from Troy on the edge of the Dardanelles. The Achaeans, who came from the Greek mainland from the west, attacked first, uniting all the Anatolian peoples. Finally, all Anatolia and Rumelia united against those who came from the west with the most modern and majestic warships, and they went to the bottom of the sea. Many of the visible stone walls are waiting to be excavated underground. Wednesday, April 23, 1975
179 Akçay’da çay bahçesinde mola. Çay, Türklerin en popüler sıcak içeceği. Zamane stili uzun saçlar. Derin bakışlar kimbilir nerelere, kimlere kilitlenmiş, dalıp gitmiş. Akçay 26 Nisan 1975 Cumartesi
179 Break in the tea garden in Akcay. Tea is the most popular hot drink of the Turks. Fashion style long hair. Who knows where, to whom the deep gaze is locked and lost. Akcay Saturday, April 26, 1975
180 Didim Apollon tapınağının devasa sütunları bini aşkın yılların ötesinden günümüze kadar uzanmış. Gencin meraklı bakışları ise nasıl bir geleceğin kendisini beklediğine yoğunlaşmış. Bilgelik sütunlarının, taşlarının da bu konudaki diyecekleri vardır herhalde. Sorsak mı acaba? Didim Tapınağı İzmir Gezisi, Nisan 1975
180 The gigantic columns of the Temple of Apollo in Didim have reached the present day from more than a thousand years. The curious eyes of the young man focused on what kind of future awaits him. Wisdom columns and stones probably have something to say about this. Shall we ask? Didim Temple Izmir Trip April 1975

Beş köşeli
Şeytani Pentagon

If the synthesis of life,
pentacle
The evil Pentagon
just as much
Enemy of life.
