The Trojan Horse is a large wooden horse from the Trojan War in Greek mythology. In the Trojan War, the Greeks were fighting against the city of Troy.

The war started when Helen, the queen of Sparta, was kidnapped by Paris, prince of Troy. The Greeks waged war on Troy to win Helen of Troy back.

The Greeks could not enter the city or win the war. Because of

this, Odysseus, one of the Grecian leaders, thought of a way to trick

them. The Greeks built a large wooden horse out of a ship and left it

outside the gates of the city as a present for the Trojans, then sailed

away. The Trojans took the horse and put it inside their city, thinking it was

a victory gift from the Greeks. The Trojans had a festival to celebrate

their victory. Odysseus chose a horse so that Poseidon  (God of the sea and creator of horses) would ensure them

a safe trip back to Greece.

After the Trojan victory festival ended, the Greeks, who were hiding inside the horse, came out of it. They

opened the city gates to let the other Greeks enter Troy. The Greeks easily overpowered the unsuspecting Trojans and took control of the city.

Because of the Trojan Horse, the Greeks won the Trojan War.

Today the word "Trojan horse" is used for things that are similar to that story: something that looks good, but in truth has another

purpose, usually bad. An example for this is the computer

virus Trojan Horse.

CAPPADOCIA

Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Aksaray, and Niğde Provinces in Turkey.

The peaks of three volcanoes dominate Cappadocia. It was their eruptions, which covered the former plateau of Ürgüp in ash and mud some thirty million years ago, that

provided the region’s raw material: tuff, formed by compressed volcanic ash.

The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept

to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in

particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique

historical and cultural heritage.

SELIMIYE MOSQUE

The Selimiye Mosque is an Ottoman imperial mosque, which is located in the city of Edirne. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Selim II, and was built by

architect Mimar Sinan between 1569 and 1575. It was considered by Sinan to be his masterpiece and is one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture.

The diameter of dome is 31.5 meter (longer than Aya Sophia) and there is no column under it. The mosque

places on rails so that is why it didn’t collapse till these days despite on the unstable ground. The people who

ascend minarets don’t see eachother. The mosque appears from 3 country (Greece. Bulgaria and Turkey). Every piece of his work bears so many meanings about Islam. Smuts of flembeaus go out thruogh only one hole by dint of current

of air.
