Old wooden two-storied houses of Ottoman era are waiting to be restored and to be used for tourism.
There are many wooden houses in Akçakoca in Yukarı district, in Cumhuriyet district and in Orhangazi. The government declared them a protected area. The problem is that no one could do anything about for these houses even the owners could not. Most of the houses collapsed and some of them burned down because it is illegal making any changes on the area. Also the government does nothing for these houses and the area. There are problems of environmental pollution, growing constructions and people who don’t know foreign languages.
The protected area for old houses is another problem which causes some of houses collapse while they are waiting for restoration.

The Epic of Gilgamesh tells about the cities of Ur, Uruk, Urfa and other cities starting with Er.

by Tekin Sönmez
Çatalhöyük is the first city in the world. It was founded eight, nine thousand years ago in Çumra Plain, next to the Çarşamba Stream.
Here in Turkey, Konya Plain is located in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. Around five thousand people lived together in Çatalhöyük in those centuries.
They created a culture of living together. They built two small hills surrounded by reeds and swamps, and rooms in mud brick.
These rooms had no doors and windows. The only exit to the house was reaching the roof by the stairs.
They painted hunting scenes on their walls. They hung the heads of wild Bulls, they understood, on the walls, and they climbed a ladder up and down the house.
In Çatalhöyük, the principles of being a thinking person emerged in those centuries.
Reminiscence memory … With adaptation to natural cycles, their ability to control has evolved.
A transition from the foraging, hunter community to the agricultural society process.
There is also obsidian workmanship in Çatalhöyük.
The language in Çatalhöyük is the language that provides daily communication …
Since the obas who migrated west from Çatalhöyük used Celtic (possibly pre-Celtic), this language went to Europe.
It became a source for today’s languages. This has been confirmed at Çatalhöyük with reality archaeological data.
The language that goes westward is Celtic.
The main subject in this program is Turkish, the language that goes to the East and is settled in Anatolia and around Konya.
Today Turkey is the homeland of Çatalhöyük and the Turkish Anatolia.
Why is Çatalhöyük important now?
This is that… Turkish the language…
Tekin Sönmez
Değerli Izleyici,
Özet olarak Çatalhöyük neden önemlidir bugün? Nedeni çok açık.
Türkçenin anayurdu Türkiye ve Anadolu olduğu için Çatalhöyük ve Konya çevresi bugün her dönemden daha önemlidir.
Keltçe batıya giderek Avrup dillerine kaynak olacak.
Türkçe de Çatalhöyük’ten yola çıkacak, Konya Ovası’nda ve doğasında yaşayacak ve o arada Doğuya da gidecek ve doğudaki öteki benzer dillere de kök dik olacak.
Doğal oluşum budur.
Türkçe Doğu’dan, Asya steplerinden gelmedi.
Keltçenin (Batılı dilciler ve kazıbiliciler bunu söylüyor) batıya gidişi gibi o yüzyıllarda Türkçe de Doğu’ya gitti ve geri döndü.
Bu nedenle Türkiye, Türkçenin anayurdudur.
Bu nedenle sekiz sesli Türkçe bir felsefe dilidir, bilim dilidir, bir yazınsal metin dili, edebiyat dilidir.
Dileyenler için inanç dili de olur.
Bu kapsamda bir algı dili olan Türkçe bir boy, bir aşiret, bir oymak dili değil, ulusal bir dildir.
Kültürel kimlik nedir?
Kültürel kimlik algı dili varlığının: bir felsefe dili, bilim dili, yazınsal metin dili olması gerçeğidir.
Sevgi İçtenlik…
