The Kral Tepesi
We were very lucky that it was cloudy and windy the day we went to the excavation site. In addition scientists at the site were able to answer every single question we had. It is a much more valuable experience to see these works of art at the site where they have just been dug out instead of seeing them in a museum. Furthermore we were given information about how the people lived where they slept and how they stored their foodstuffs at that time.The discovery of Kral Tepesi was a complete coincidence. It all started when Nathanael May and Benjamin Moritz from the Eastern Mediterranean University Music Departments saw a pit on the upper part of a hill in the Kaleburnu area while taking a walk in the Karpaz Peninsula. After the appropriate authorities were notified about this pit the number of excavation trips to the area increased. North Cyprus Hotels As a result 26 various historical artifacts belonging to the Bronze Age were found and added to the historical and cultural wealth of Cyprus.Today Dr. Uwe Muller of EMU is responsible for carrying out this excavation study. Dr. Muller looks very happy when showing their most recent finding at the school in a village where the researchers were accommodated and the artifacts were kept.
He talks about the challenges they came across while working at the site but says that the new pieces are well worth it. Dr. Muller has plans also for this village. He desires to exhibit the findings in the village. He fights for better research conditions and states that they would appreciate any help.

The Garden City Of The East

Bogyoke Aung San Market is one of Yangon’s oldest shopping places. Known as Scott Market in colonial times It sells just about everything. This British built market is a huge maze of aisles and stores. There are 1641 shops selling luxury items handicrafts foodstuffs clothing jewellery fashion and consumer goods. The market is a square type based and therefore divided into the East wing West wing North wing and South wing.
Bogyoke Aung San Market is also wellknown for the preThingyan festival also called the Zay Thingyan meaning the Market’s water festival. It is usually held on the 11th or 12th of April. Youngsters from all over the city come to the market dressed for the festival. The shops donates traditional food.
There is some nightlife but any nightlife ends by 11 pm.
Shewedagon Pagoda is Yangoons most famous land mark. It Rises to a height of 100 meters on top of Singuttara Hill. It can be reached by taking the elevator or walking the stairs. The Pagoda was built more than 25000 years ago and it is believed that it contains sacred relics of Buddha. It is often described as the great Pyramid of fire and a waking winking tinkling wonder. The pagoda itself is a solid brick stupa Buddhist reliquary that is completely covered with gold. There are also figures of elephants crouching and men kneeling and pedestals for offerings all around the base. In front of the 72 shrines surrounding the base of the Pagoda you will find in several places images of lions serpents ogres yogis spirits or Wathundari.
Rangoon is famed for its produce of worldclass jade ruby and sapphires. Most Asian travellers must understand virtually all known production are run by governmental agencies where illegal productions are also existed in northeastern provinces. So to curb these activities only shops with endorsement of government were permitted. A visit to the jade market in Rangoon or at one of the Hong Kong jade auctions organised by Christie’s can give some idea of the significance this gem has for the people of Asia.
